Serious Eats Nominated for 2008 Weblog Award in Food

Um, hi,

This is john (the hubby of Jen) from Cake Wrecks and I wanted to make a brief couple of points.

1. We put in a formal request to be moved to the Best Humor Blog Category but they wouldn't budge.

2. I guess Cake Wrecks is technically about food, but for sharing of recipes, helpful hints and general foodie fun, Serious Eats rocks absolutely.

3. There is no ballot stuffing, I promise. We have a bunch of very cool readers who we are eternally grateful for.

4. Lastly, did you know that you can't even remove your site from contention once it has been nominated in a category?

Next year, we will be sure that we are placed in the correct category and it will be a blowout for Serious Eats. Wreck on and no hard feelings.

Yours,

john

Sounds like newbs flying by the seat of their pants. Not saying their job is easy, but why do something like this if you're not even the slightest bit prepared? It's not like they just sprouted up 2 months ago and had no clue.

Cake Wrecks is amusing, just like I Can Has Cheezburger, but I wouldn't classify them under Best Food Blog just like I wouldn't classify I Can Has... under Best Pet Blogs (oh wait, they ARE!). Of course, the categories aren't the fault of the the blog owners, but I think someone at Weblog Awards should have been accountable or had the sense to correctly categorize certain blogs.

I had never heard of this Cake Wrecks;
not a bad site and pretty clever but I agree, it belongs in the "funny" category.

This sux. I'll be voting everyday *fingers-crossed*
Maybe it's better that our community stays in hiding for a little longer????
