New York, N.Y. — The Saveur Best Food Blog Awards, which recognizes the best in online food journalism, celebrated its fifth year with more than 32,000 nominations. Readers’ Choice and Editors’ Choice winners were selected in each of the 13 award categories. Readers and a panel of experts, including Saveur editors and past Best Food Blog winners, cast 14,000-plus votes. The winners were announced on Saveur.com on April 14. The Best Food Blog Awards winners page is Saveur.com’s second most-trafficked single page annually, after the home page.
Saveur editors said of the Best Food Blog Awards, “We’re astounded at the depth, variety, creativity, and ingenuity of the food blogs nominated. They’ve inspired us to pull out our cameras, travel to experience new foodways, and most importantly, inspired us to get in our kitchens and cook.”
Saveur’s Best Food Blog Awards’ culminating event, to be attended by the 40-plus winning and finalist bloggers for two days of networking, hands-on culinary experiences and a celebration with Saveur editors, will be held on May 28-29 at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.
