The Top 20 Food Blogs That’ll Make You Hungry: Part I
Whether you’re looking for a new dish to make or looking for new ways to spice up your own, this weeks list is sure to help you out! This week we bring you a special treat with The Top 20 Food Blogs That’ll Make You Hungry. When I first started putting together the list, right off the bat I knew that this list was going to be jam packed full of great blogs. In response to this, instead of our usual Top 10, I decided to do a Part I and Part II to our list for a combined Top 20.
One of the great things you will notice about our list is the great diversity in topics that each cover. While the list focuses on the Top Food Blogs, each blog has its own unique personality and focus.
As usual in our rankings, we analyzed the blogs based on three categorizes: 1. Blog Site Traffic, 2. Technorati Authority, and 3. the number of linkbacks that the site had. All traffic statistics were drawn from Compete.com analytics.
As the title mentions, these blogs are not only the best of the best, but they also have the tendency to create feelings of hunger while reading them. While we couldn’t fit all our favorite blogs on this list, please feel free to tell us your favorite food blogs!

Awesome. ALL good ones and favorites on my list. I can’t wait to see version II. This is great, guys.
Part II might be coming out tomorrow!
Great food blogs but these are the ones everybody knows about. How about publishing a list of the lesser known Food Blog gems? There are many out there. I find a lot of them on food photo sites (like http://www.FoodGawker.com) and food aggregator sites like (www.FoodBlogs.com and http://www.FoodBuzz.com).
Thanks for checking it out Jane! Typically we love to feature the diamonds in the rough, so you might find them in Part II of our Top 20!
I love how extensive these food blogs are. Looking at the pictures sure is getting me hungry! I’ll have to try out some recipes. I agree with Jane that it will also be nice to see some of the less visited, yet up-and-coming food blogs. It’s wonderful that Viralogy promotes not only the top influential blogs, but also the smaller, developing ones. Looking forward to Part II!
Thanks for the great comment Meghan! I’m glad to hear that you are looking forward to Part II. We have so many great blogs that we had to split them up
Thanks, Joseph. Looking forward to part II. There are a lot of lesser known gems out there. I can name at least 50! Good luck sorthing through them all.
Part II is now out! Be sure to check out the 2nd part to our Top 20 Food Blogs!
Here’s a Top 10 for some excellent albeit lesser-known blogs: “Chef2video’s Top 10 Thoughtful Food Blogs” http://www.chef2video.com/node/2126
