Keen-eyed readers may recall a few weeks back when we spent the goodly part of a week eating bananas in the basement of the CNN Grill at the annual SXSW conference in Austin, Texas. Well, we managed to flee the building for a few minutes and bolt across town to take part in a panel at the TECHmunch food blogger conference.
You know we dig bloggers, right? We show off the cream of the crop in our ongoing Blogger Spotlight, link to individual posts in the daily Box Lunch roundup, feature iReporters and generally try to keep our eyes peeled for new ways to show off the creativity, passion and talent of the ever-expanding food blogosphere.
So how DO you get on our radar? In addition to the tips we're giving in the video above, it doesn't hurt to:
1. Tweet @eatocracy.
We pay attention. We really do. It's where we get some of our best tips on stories and blogs (much as we'd love to peruse the entire online food world all day, we just don't have the eyeball power) and frankly, how we've come across some of the niftiest people out there. In fact, that's how I met our associate editor Sarah LeTrent, lo these several years ago. It works.
2. Drop a link.
Say howdy and drop your blog link into the comments of one of the Blogger Spotlight posts. We really do try our best to read each and every one of 'em, so play along. We'll love you even more if you stick around and take part in the conversation.
4. Tell your story.
When my colleagues throughout CNN ask me what kind of stories I'm looking for them to pitch, my first question is always, "What is the story only you can tell?" That's what we look for in bloggers, iReporters and Twitterers - show us your world in your way, and we'll help you shine a light on it.
And it never hurts to make us laugh so hard, we spit out our crappy office coffee.
I love your 'Blogger Spotlight'. I've discovered so many great bloggers because of it. I am also a food blogger and it's great to learn and get to know more about our fellow food bloggers. Thank you for allowing us a place to shamelessly self promote. My blog is Spicie Foodie, http://spiciefoodie.blogspot.com/
Check out the spice girl, a recently launched blog written with immense passion.
Great recipes inspired by her travels and love of food.
Can not wait for the next update.
Thirty Kitchens In 30 Days - A photo series by Sean Blake
One photographer, two lenses, one goal. Photograph thirty kitchens in 30 days here in the UAE. The ultimate goal is to document the normally unseen environment and production on the other side of the "kitchen" door, capture the human element behind the food we are served. Will it work? We will see. Thirty kitchens In 30 Days.
Thanks for opening the door like this! I travel virtually by cooking foods from around the world and blog about intersections of food and culture (lover of history here) at http://globetrotterdiaries.com. I hope you enjoy it!
Ok Eatocracy and friends, check out my wife's gluten-free site, gimmeglutenfree.com. She used to be a professional baker but ended up a few years being gluten intolerant, what a nightmare for a baker! Instead of going to no more donuts therapy, she decided to use her skills and develop fabulous recipes for those suffering the same challenge but with the goal to make the gluten free recipes better than the gluten options all with a humorous and light hearted twist! Our local newspaper just did a story on her as well, check that out, there a video on her on the front page at Sammamishreview.com and you'll find their feature on her at http://sammamishreview.com/2011/04/26/no-wheat-allowed#more-13710. Best wishes all!
Hi! I hope it's not too late to post here (or that you're still checking here)
Thanks for this opportunity and a great post!
My blog is
http://www.thesweetart.com
started mainly because I hated my workplace job so damn much I had to find an outlet. My focus was on food photography but since I couldn't eat out all the time (that gets expensive!) I started to bake at home. Now my focus has shifted to baking and blogging as well!
Oh how I wish I had been there to hear your words, THANKS for the video. I am keeping my eyeballs peeled for you all, working on next year's Camp Blogaway Bootcamp for Food Bloggers. http://www.campblogaway.com
I've been waiting for my Fairy Blog Mother to show up and instantly launch my website into fame... but she must have gotten lost surfing and tweeting her way to Italy!
Armed with a few extra tools, and tweets from your posted video series, I'm going to dust off my fairy wings, and try to do this on my own!
The main requisite for writing about cookery and the lifestyle it embodies is a rich appetite. Without that, it's is unfeasible within God's given time, to have enough experience to have anything worth recording.
My Blog on proper Creole living: http://www.TheRooterToTheTooter.com
I have to admit that i’m completely agree with you. ! Good blog ! If you wish to change your hair , test my weblog, possibly you’ll find some concepts, particularly Medium length hair kinds for thin hair :)
I'm cooking my way through the alphabet – working to find ingredients, dishes, or techniques that I don't know or aren't very familiar with, and taking 2 weekends on every letter to try and increase my cooking/culinary knowledge. Please check me out!

Please check out my blog Sprinkles of Parsley for my full-proof homemade recipes made with fresh ingredients and step-by-step pictures and tutorials.
It takes a lot of practice and cholesterol medication to become such a snob on smoked meat. I'm finally hitting my stride after 400 or so reviews of BBQ joints from Central Texas to the Panhandle, and even a couple in the Memphis Airport. If you need some tips on where to stop on your next trip to the Lone Star State, check out http://www.fullcustomgospelbbq.com
You can check out my personal food blog at http://www.virgoblue.net. I could easily spill the 5 best destinations and unconventional food joints every food lover should visit in the San Francisco Bay Area (that aren't on every food critic's Top 100 List!).
I also write for @bayareabites and do chef interviews, restaurant profiles and the occasional food truck review :).
Food writing can at times read like instructions for operating a flow cytometer. The allusions and references to arcane subjects and people seem to require a formal degree in food history and agrinomics. The Idiot Saveur is NOT the place to get that education. http://www.theidiotsaveur.com
Thanks for the article...and the invite to participate. Food bloggers are great at connecting with each other- traditional media is a challenge. Great to know you're listening.

It's personal .. no paid journalists.
As you can imagine Food plays a huge part of our conversations. So much so that we're dedicating Fridays to everything and any thing food. Our stories range from recipes to wine to reviews and memories like mine of a singing soup bowl ;-)

Thanks so much for this article and your genuine interest in food blogs and our crazy little world! I started a healthy living blog that follows my life as I try to eat healthy, workout and maintain balance while working full-time and navigating life as a newlywed. My blog is called Peanut Butter Fingers (because I eat an inordinate amount of peanut butter out of the jar with my finger) and I may be found at http://pbfingers.com.
We have a lot of fun with our blog. Our kitchen is so small that I've actually had to open the refrigerator door to have enough room to get photos in focus. http://www.teenytinykitchen.com/
Even in a small space we like to take on challenges and have a sense of humor about it. We recently made ricotta from scratch and then bread with the whey, made homemade bagels (not yet posted), stuffed a pork loin, dried some hot peppers, etc. We experiment with classic recipes from around the world and make up our own vegetarian and meat dishes. In the summer we go a little crazy with local ingredients from our C.S.A. basket.

While I am not a food blogger myself, I recently discovered this food blog that in my opinion is just perfect:
http://www.thegalleygourmet.net/
I really like the way this blog is set up. Each mouthwatering recipe has a beautiful picture and a printable format, and all of them are interesting as well as easy to follow. A bonus is the weekly Sunday dinner menu with recipes - I wish I could be invited over to the Galley Gourmet's house some Sunday for dinner! I truly do not know this person nor am I affiliated with her in any way, but you really need to check out her blog!

About Me: Full time Accountant with a big passion for cooking! Mom to a beautiful 8 year old princess: She is my partner in the kitchen! I also have a husband who loves my cooking very much. My father was an excellent Dominican cook. I owe to him all the beautiful food memories.
Cooking Triumph: Being able to perfect my traditional Mofongo recipe (a combination of mashed plantains and garlic and other delicious flavors) it is a hit at all family gatherings
My Food For Thought: Cooking is all about the memories!
My Other Interests: Music, Music, Music! my husband plays the piano and has a studio right next to my kitchen, so it is fun all day!
food music=perfect combination!
Thank you for allowing us a place to shamelessly promote ourselves. I feel like Donald Trump plugging myself so hard but I figure if a man with hair like a chia pet has such a healthy ego, I should embrace a little bit of his irrational self-esteem and plug my food blog http://bittersweetcook.blogspot.com/ again.
I'm so glad you posted this! I was at SXSW for work and play – but didn't make it to TechMunch for MORE play!
I blog in DC at One Bite At A Time (alejandraowens.wordpress.com) – current/this year's obsession: learn how to butcher. So far getting more weird looks than helpful information!
I also obsessively watch the DC restaurant scene for Borderstan.com!
Thank you CNN for helping the blogosphere! I'm a NKOTB but I'm passionate about what I do...there's nothing more motivating than writing for readers and reading what readers wrote about my writing really...
+1 for NoShmeat. Original and funny, and actually some NEW stuff, not just regurgitation. PLus They COINED A WORD (or rather, jacked it) it's in that first shmeat sandwich article there.
Honestly, the best site to show up recently is NoShmeat.com. It's been mentioned here a few times, but eatocracy never picked up. Ima write them a comment to tweet it to @eatocracy next, see if that does nethin.
I've been writing a cooking blog for a few years now. I started it for 2 reasons: first I was in a cooking rut and writing about it helped me get out of my rut AND I was tired of giving out the same recipes over and over again to my family members. If they want a recipe, they go look on the blog.
Now that I'm getting a masters degree in nutrition and sustainable food systems, the blog's focus has changed slightly. I still post recipes and techniques but will cover sustainability and eco-friendly subjects, too.
Thanks for offering the chance for all of us to be heard! These round-ups are also a great way for readers to find new blogs to read. I'll be scrolling through these comments for new discoveries. It's all about word of mouth!
Oh yeah, and feel free to check me out at http://therunawayspoon.com.

Hi Eatocracy! I write Willow Bird Baking, a blog that seeks to inspire home cooks to build their kitchen confidence by tackling challenging, fun new recipes. I also teach a high school cooking course and happen to live in Charlotte, NC, where foodies are quite proud to claim Sarah LeTrent as a native :) Come see Willow Bird at http://willowbirdbaking.wordpress.com.
I've been wondering how to throw my hat in the ring.
Here is our link: http://johnandelana.wordpress.com
My brother John and I write an Italian food focused blog with reviews (including our popular Bathroom of the Month award for restaurants), recipes – both popular family recipes, ones we make up, and ones we find lying around in the streets, and life stories.
John often waxes poetic about 80's movies (relating them to food), and I explode my kitchen every 3 days in an effort to create something fantastic that is also edible.
Oh yeah, and I make fun of John's prized possession – his hair.
Sending love from a newbie on the food blogging scene. This is such a great panel, glad I found it on twitter. I'm so surprised that ya'll only have 5 staffers!

San Diego food bloggers are in the house! :-) I've got PaniniHappy.com, all about sandwiches and other recipes for the panini grill. When I'm not making sandwiches, CookingOntheSide.com is where I try out the recipes that are printed on food packaging labels. Lots of hidden gems there!
