[…] Also, a hearty thank you to everyone who helped me win Best Food Blog - Humor in this year’s Food Blog Awards.   I fully concede that I only won because David Lebovitz did not pick up the red phone to activate his legions of fans.  Thank you for butting out, Lebovitz. […]

I have to say I really find it hard to swallow that people vote for a food blog with so much pointless blatant profanity. There are times where it is needed but Thursday Night Smackdown uses it for vocabulary…how tasteless.

Thanks so much to everyone at the Well-Fed Network for choosing Champaign Taste as one of the finalists, and thanks also to everyone who voted for us. We’re just thrilled!

P.S. Sorry for the delay; I tried several times to post a comment and thank-you right after the winners were announced, but for some reason my comment didn’t “take.”

Tartelette is an inspiring site - both for recipes and photography. Are the 2010 awards coming up? It’s interesting that there is no Food blog - Travel category listed.
Belated Congratulations, Helen!
