JJ Yulo's 10 Favorite Food Blogs

JJ Yulo | Published: Mar 1, 2011 - 9:47am

The food blogs that I read are meant to be fun and educational. I spend so much time poring over books and the web for the work that I do, and in between that I’m shuttling between meetings, the market, and cooking in the kitchen. If I’m going to sit down and read, it'd better be entertaining. No Big Bad Blogger stuff here (I wonder what happened to that issue?).

I’ve walked away from blogs that read so negatively. Some people dig that. As for me, well, life is hard enough as it is, don’t you think? As a wise man named Monty Python once wrote: “Always look on the bright side of life.”

Here, then, is a little list of food blogs that I like to visit. Not the definitive list as there are still a ton of excellent ones, but this is the kind of blog writing that I myself aspire for.

    marketman? what drivel that blog is. that guy is full of himself and his writing is boring and pretentious. no way that should be in anyone's top food blog list. sorry jj. thanks for the rest of the list though.

    A friend who follows JJ but never comments told me: I'm going to cut my head off if JJ mentions Anton Diaz's blog!! hahaha, I am so happy JJ didn't - I would hate to hang with a headless friend. Thanks for the list JJ. Excellent taste, as usual.

    u have to check http://www.flavoursofiloilo.blogspot.com. it features delectable eats in the province of Iloilo and the city.

    When you say Marketman comes off as "suplado", do you mean "snob" (high-brow) or "aloof" (unfriendly)?rnFor me, a regular reader, I find him "sosyal" but no snobbery there. Definitely a man-of-the-world, in the actual sense of the word, Marketman knows his food and I learn a lot from his blog.

    I like this feature :) I only knew of DCF, MM and Matt Bites. Happy to read about other food blogs.

    love this story. thanks jj, you have great taste :)

    Thanks. I discover food blogs through foodgawker. I just like looking at pictures. I like Marketman too b/c the comments are entertaining and helpful and not the typical "looks delicious it made me hungry". You'd know the blog is awesome if it attracts intelligent commenters and not trolls. Yes he is suplado (I hate his term "bastardized") but at least he aims to be authentic. And I appreciate that he reads the comments.rnMy favorite blogs are fxcuisine (the blog is no longer updated) and Bakerella. Yup, even dudes enjoy looking at those cute cake pops.
