Ah, the land of the food blog. A couple of years ago, not long after I started my own personal food blog, Mango & Ginger, writer Pete Wells graced Food & Wine with a much-publicized rant about the state of the food blogging community. To put it gently, he wasn't that impressed with most of what he saw.
To be fair, I think that's not something limited to food blogs. Sure, there are a lot of bad food blogs out there - there are a lot of bad, boring blogs out there, period. But there are also so many good ones that it would be impossible to find time to read them all. Plus, it can be overwhelming to sift through all the junk to get to the good stuff. Major blogs like Serious Eats are fantastic, and of course I love the Baltimore blogs (check out the M&G sidebar), but what about the little(ish) guys?
