Other Food Folk and the Future

I have recently started spending some tie scoping out other food blogs, just to see some approaches other people are taking to blog about their food experiences and get ideas for making Locavore better. In my internet perambulations I came across two really standout sites, both based out of New York City.

1. Smitten Kitchen has amazing food photography and a lively, conversational writing style.

2. Not Eating Out in New York started out as one woman's "brown bag" chronicles, and has now developed into a site filled with delicious recipes, a practical rating system, and a fun take on cooking--especially highlighting local and sustainably produced foods--in a city known for its amazing restaurants.

Buffalo Locavore has been up and running for about 4 1/2 months. Like any collaborative venture, the site has experienced some growing pains, but I am excited about the direction we are taking. We started this as a way to share our experiences finding quality local foods and sharing our food adventures, even if it is just something as simple as me remembering the small joys of cooking or Ann reporting about what was in her CSA basket for a week. Winter will present some posting challenges in terms of sourcing food, but the challenge is part of the fun!
