It’s a bit obvious that I have a passion for foodblogs (this site, Digesty, my recent article about foodbloggers). Last year I created Cheww, which I hoped would developed into a Digg-like site based on food.

That idea didn’t quite catch on.

I have transformed Cheww. Now, it is a spam-free foodblog search engine.

What does that mean? It means that you can search over 1,000 foodblogs for recipes, restaurant reviews, cooking tips, anything you would ask your favorite food fiend friend about. This is an instant network of food focused writers that you can tap into.

Why Spam Free? When I search google for recipes or restaurants, I often get a few good links and then a long list of sites which only exist to suck in traffic and try to get you to click on their ads, or launch pop-ups, or install adware. All of the sites on Cheww have been pre-screened to make sure that they are written by actual people with actual useful information. As a disclaimer, there may be a couple bad apples, but if they are reported, they can be thrown out.

If you are curious if your site, or one of your favorite sites is included, just search for it at Cheww. If it’s not there, email me at foodblogging [at] gmail.com. If it fits the criteria, I will add it.

The site is very much in the beginning phases. Check it out, let me know what you think, either by email or in the comments here. I hope that you enjoy it and find it useful.

Remember, for all your food finds, C-H-E-doubleW dot com (Cheww.com)

    What a great idea — thanks for putting it together! Even when I add “blog” to my search string, I always have to sift through so many links to get what I want.

    And the site works great from my little bit of playing around with it.

    Hey, just playing around with Cheww and I LIKE IT. A lot. Definitely earns a bookmark from me.

    PS. the graphic designer in me would love to see a logo of some sort. the page is so barren right now.

    Good job.

    Thanks lovedog, glad you like Cheww.

    The page definitely is barren, by design. I was trying to keep things simple and focus on the search. I am working on a logo though to create a visual identity.

    Hope you find some goodies!
