My Blog Bible
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Tuesday, June 15th, 2010
I must confess: I’m new to the NoVA food scene. It can be …overwhelming, to say the least. Don’t get me wrong – I have been a healthy, experience-junkie eater for over two decades now, but I’m new to this particular corner of the world. I’m discovering that Northern Virginia has a contagious fever raging for all things edible and experimental. (Pesto and chocolate? Why not? Bacon on donuts? YES.) Thus for the past two weeks with wide-eyed wonder I have done my best to immerse myself in your digestive tract.
That didn’t sound right.
I mean to say that I’ve talked to chefs, been to farmer’s markets, almost went over my limit for free samples, made several “happy plates” from lists of local eateries, sat for hours in the cooking section of bookstores, and put on a few well-worth-it pounds.
My favorite method of research has been reading the blogs of fellow foodies. Here’s a list of the favorites who deserve all my bloggy love.
She’s my newest muse – witty, savvy and I admit that I might have a girl-crush on her. Ahem. With the appetite of Miss Piggy and glam to match, she reports her food-ventures and findings around the DC area. Maybe someday we can go eat fried guinea pigs together.
Carryin’ da banner for food and news about food (like the headline says), he has a little something for us all.
I’m torn between Ladies who Brunch and B%$&*s who Brunch just like I’m torn between breakfast and lunch. Because brunch is hands-down my favorite meal of the day – when else can you incorporate any and everything? The savory, the sweet and alcoholic beverages (Mimosas!) before noon?
Culinary discoveries from home or out-on-the town.
Photo essays on the Korean eateries of Northern Virginia and beyond. I’m a sucker for ethnic food. I’m working on finding an equivalent for a world-tour…
Of course, there are more out there. These are just my current top-shelf. If you have any unsung blogging heroes, please send them my way – I’d be ever so delighted!
