Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Boneless Heritage Ham
Definitely ham, brie, a little garlic aoili and a little spicy mustard on ciabatta.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
I don't know how to choose a favorite! Definitely bacon-related. Battered bacon with maple dipping sauce... that's a bizarre and wonderful bacon memory.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Edible Chocolate Box from Charles Chocolates
We just made awesome chocolate-ginger bar cookies, and they may be my new favorite!

I'm definitely missing The Amateur Gourmet! Should definitely be there in the humor category.

Oh, easy! A popover with strawberry butter from Popover Cafe.
Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box
I have two -- I am thrilled to hear a food reviewer on Studio 360 admit that one of his favorite meals is Macaroni and Cheese with chopped up hot dogs. Delicious! I also recently tried battered bacon with maple dipping sauce at the Commonwealth Gastropub in D.C. Awesome, but I couldn't eat more than 1 piece. Bring on the pork!
Cook the Book: 'Simple Italian Snacks'
Brie bread, aka brie wrapped in crescent rolls, maybe with some jam if we're being fancy. Very easy and tends to impress company.
Cook the Book: 'Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin'
I invented a salad dressing this weekend -- honey, sushi vinegar, good olive oil, salt, and pepper. Not very hard to come up with, but for some reason it really impressed my husband. And it was delicious on a fig and pancetta salad.

Will you push Netflix to add DVDs of your show?

Stuffing. Specifically, cornbread, sage, and sausage stuffing. I've even made it when I haven't to stuff it into.
Cook the Book: Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges
Hot spicy singapore style noodles. Delicious! Pick me!
Cook the Book: 'Dolce Italiano, Desserts From the Babbo Kitchen'
Tiramisu it is, preferably with a nice little kick.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Elements of Cooking'
I'm gonna go with seasoning. Adding the right herb or spice, or even salt, can take a dish from ho hum to yum.

No Pioneer Woman?

Eating Asia, for Dave Hagerman's amazing and Robyn Eckhardt's prose, is a sad oversight.
Food Blog Award Nominees Announced
There are so many great blogs to sift through in my internet. I'm kinda okay with the missing obvious ones like cake wrecks, etc. This is like a best of "indie" awards list. [shrugs]

Where's The Girl Who Ate Everything?!? Humor, photography, city and writing should have had a spot for Boppy. No Cake Wrecks, either.
Food Blog Award Nominees Announced
Any photography category that doesn't include either Smitten Kitchen or MattBites is missing the boat, big-time.

I like the blog Roving Gastronome http://rovinggastronome.com/mainblog/
she's really funning and interesting. I'm not sure which division it would fit in.
Food Blog Award Nominees Announced
Ree from Pioneer Woman Cooks should definitely be there ... at least on the humor list, or the rural division!

Don't worry about Serious Eats not being on the list. Despite what you might think, my question was not a fishing expedition for compliments. We have the support of our community, which is enough for us ;) I really do want to know about under-recognized blogs that you think should have made the cut. FWIW, Amateur Gourmet won best humor in 2004 and best blog post in 2007.

Simple: white bread, mustard on the swiss cheese side, then ham, then plenty of lettuce, then mayonnaise. But you know what, nearly every variant listed here...sounds good too!
