FOOD BLOGGING IN INDIANAPOLIS
Today's edition of The Indianapolis Star includes a 761-word article on Indianapolis-area bloggers who write in part or exclusively about food. The journalist who wrote the piece, Abe Aamidor, contacted me about two weeks ago, asking if he could interview me for the story, which is titled Bite by Byte, and can be read by clicking here.
As the article points out, Indianapolis doesn't have a lot of food bloggers, but there are few good ones (and no, I don't consider mine to be among them). In addition to this one, three other blogs were profiled:
- Scott Hutcheson's My Life in Words
- Jennifer Bortel's Contributions to IndyScribe
- Renee Wilmeth's Feed Me/Drink Me
With so many great restaurants and food markets in Indianapolis, it's actually a bit surprising that there aren't more food-related blogs, but with blogging still very much in its infancy, there's still lots of time for local residents to pick up the slack.
As for my own food-related postings, there aren't a whole ton them, but some can found here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here, as well as here, here, here, here, and here.

I could not find an email address for you, so I'm leaving this as a blog comment. What do you think about getting together the four Indiana "Food Bloogers" for dinner one night. Drop me a line and let me know.

I saw you in the funny papers!! I never realized that that was anything other than a hollow good-bye salutation.
I don't have my blog up yet, but the book has been helpful. Janet is working on one for the race team; mine comes next.
Later,
Actually, Indy Scribe seems to have a lot of restaurant reviews. It's not exclusively food blogging, but I'd say it's probably a hefty portion of their articles (no pun intended).
Congrats on the article. I once thought about doing food reviews, but it seemed at least in the newspaper and local magazines that Indy dining was pretty well covered. I didn't know what value added I could bring to the table (excuse the pun). My blog readership is largely outside of Indiana so I don't know how relevant it would be to them.
