I Won a 'Best Food Blog' Award from Saveur!
- A winner is me!
What I learned yesterday:
- You don't listen to me.
- Reverse psychology works.
Because how else did I win an award for "Best Restaurant/Dining Coverage" in the 2011 SAVEUR Best Food Blog Awards? Especially since I was all like, "Don't vote for me, guys."
Thank you for disobeying my commands and voting for my blog; it means a lot to me. ;) I didn't mean to pull the ol' reserve psychology trick though; I am not that crafty. And I certainly didn't expect to win. Your support blows my mind, guys. The impact is so strong that it has turned my brain into jelly. Jelleeeuhhfmmgfflggulgspootlepip
Ok my brain has reformed itself. And I've sort of rewarded you with a new post I put up about an hour ago! Alas, it has little to do with the category I won in, but it features numerous photos of a cute puppy, so...so...you will like it, maybe!
Thank you all again! You've all rightfully earned an (optional) giant plush manatee hug.

After signing up, spent a whole lot of time perusing all the category's nominees. So many!
I only voted in one category ;)

After you said not to vote for you, I immediately went to the website and voted for you. Humility wins again! :)

YEA! Go Robin!

Congrats, you deserve it! On one note, I've always wanted to ask you--why do you say 'innards'? I find it quite annoying to be honest....
Posted by: Day at May 23, 2011 8:04 AM [#]
Rosebud: Thanks!
Day: Thanks! As for "innards" I can't say I have any explanation for why I say it besides...it's like other words I use a lot: I like it. I'm not sure how long I've been using it. I suppose if enough people told me they didn't like it, I'd stop.
even though you feel you didn't deserve this...you should totally just let that inner giddy burst and spill out all over.
i've been reading your blog, plus your entries at serious eats, and i love it. your rants plus the occasional coherent lines make for a great read. Congrats!!!

Maylen: Thanks for reading! Letting my inner giddy burst out sounds a bit messy, but maybe it'll burst out in...mmm..candy!..in which case that's ok.
aimbones: Ah yeah...that blog has been around for a while, but mine's older. It's a shame we have the same blog name. :[ At least our food topics are totally different!
Hi Robin!
1) I didn't vote for you.

Congrats!
ps, don't stop saying "innards" I like it.
