You’ve probably noticed the abundance of foodbuzz banners that are dotted in prominent places around this blog. Food buzz is a pretty cool digg-type resource for food lovers that offers restaurant reviews, recipes, food related videos and other really cool food-type stuff gathered by other foodies from all over the globe. To quote their about page:

We love food!

In fact, we’re passionate about our adventures in all things edible. Be it dining out, cooking at home, discovering a new flavor, drooling over a food blog, or swapping recipes with friends, count us in. And we know we’re not alone. There are so many like-minded gourmands out there, opening great restaurants, dishing out new blog posts, cookbooks, videos, recipes, menus and reviews, that our attempt to stay current on the tastiest bits of information, begging to be digested, was becoming a serious challenge.

So we created Foodbuzz: the first-ever community site devoted exclusively to food and dining content-an unparalleled resource for searching, surfing and sharing with fellow foodies everywhere.

From the professional chef to the casual diner and everyone in between, our online community is a one-stop shop for food lovers to find exactly what they are searching for without having to navigate around multiple sites or mull through irrelevant results from general search engine queries. Search results are community-driven and contextually relevant, providing users with the unique opportunity to surf original and user-generated content based on their search criteria. As a community, Foodbuzz enables you to share your thoughts with the rest of us. We’ve created a space where you can not only submit recipes, videos, news, photos, restaurant reviews, blog posts, new restaurants, favorites and forums, but also comment and vote on content submitted by others. Think of it as an exchange of appetites.

Catch the buzz!

I am privileged to be among their featured publishers along side several of my friends and fellow bloggers such as kellypea of Sass and Veracity, Susan of The Well Seasoned Cook, and my mate Peter from Souvlaki for the Soul. (Just to name the few I could get to quickly.) Users of the site have the ability to vote for their favorite recipes and foodies, to rate restaurants, to see what others are saying about their favorite eateries, etc.

If you like what I’m doing here, please take a half second to hit the main page of this blog and click on the “vote me up” button in the center of the page. It seems there’s a lot of competition to be the most popular, and while I’m not a glory hound by any stretch, it just feels nice to get a little buzz now and then.

If you’re a food blogger, take a minute to find out if they’ve already set you up a page. (This isn’t content theft, as they simply link back to you from your feed titles. In the industry we call these “seed” entries, they’re a new company, so it’s normal.) I know for a fact that my fellow Texans FoodieBride and My Kitchen in Half Cups have already got them, all they need to do is claim them! (It’s an honor folks, they picked you as some of the best out there and included you, it’s pretty cool, really. They did the same for Elise and Emeril.)

so take a few minutes, sign up, vote for your favorite foodie, tell everyone what your favorite place to eat is and most of all Have Fun!  It’s addictive, really.
