LA.foodblogging

lafb is 3!

Just over three years ago we had our first post. Since then we have had a bevy of contributors who have donated their time and efforts to bring a constant stream of restaurant reviews, discoveries and tips to our fantastic readers.

We are nearing our 1,000th post, which should happen sometime in late May. Over the past three years, we have had nearly 50 different writers, some who are active today, and some who have moved on. I’m personally thankfully to all who have been part of the la.foodblogging family. Many of the authors I have met and even shared a meal with. Would you believe that there are also authors who I have never met face to face, only through email?

It’s worth noting some of our more active posters. Their dedication is one of the factors that keeps our readers coming back.

• Even though she hasn’t posted in two years, SoCalorie remains the top poster (not counting myself). She brought a true journalist’s style, breaking coming trends and restaurant news in addition to providing dining reviews. She is truely missed
• We are lucky to have Pauline still writing for us. Even with her time spent at Notre Dame, finishing her MBA, she managed to rack up the second most posts behind SoCalorie. Pauline has reviewed some of the finest dining spots in town, and has also provided insight on hidden gems in the SGV — often detailing why a restaurant’s cuisine is authentic or unique.
• Rene has been with us from the beginning, turning out consistent posts, representing the kind of dining I think many of our readers enjoy. Rene covers a broad region of Los Angeles, highlighting not just restaurants, but also markets, festivals and special events.
• MaxMillion brings her skills as a professional writer, along with her passion for good food to lafb. As a result, her posts are well researched and narrated in a style that makes you feel like you were right there with her during the meal. Not only that, but she makes a heavenly Pavlova!
• KT generously writes her restaurant reviews here at lafb while maintaining her own foodblog at Gastronomy 101. KT makes it a point to try out some of the most talked about new restaurants in town and reliably reports back to us whether the talk is hype or if the buzz is justified. Always giving us pictures and a detailed account of her meals, I often look to her reviews for dining ideas for myself.

I appreciate the efforts of all of our authors over the past three years. In addition to those mentioned above, we have enjoyed posts from Cybele of Candyblog.net, Kristy from Best of LA, Dylan from Eat Drink and Be Merry, Sarah from The Delicious Life, and Zteve from Gastrologica.com. We also enjoy contributions from a host of creative minds who stop in from time to time to give their insight.

I enjoy the different perspectives that everyone brings to the table, it’s a true joy to come to la.foodblogging and see what dining adventures are being had.

As I mentioned last week, we are adding new contributors. If you’re interested, drop me an email at “foodblogging” at gmail.
