- 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.

Well, I listened to you and didn't vote, but not because I didn't want you to win. I have an excellent track record of not voting and having those who I want to win win. So by not voting for you, I increased your chances of winning.
Congratulations!
OH MY GOD, congratulations! My pesky (but lovable) little sister is growing up - I'm so happy for you.
It was a much deserved win! Your blog is my favourite out of all the nominees!
Congratulations again!
Yay! ^_^ Congratulations, you totally earned that win!
After signing up, spent a whole lot of time perusing all the category's nominees. So many!
I only voted in one category ;)
Congratulations again! You totally deserve it :)
WHOA CONGRATS ROBYN!!! [HIGH FIVE!] It's about damn time! Haha! Keep up the awesome writings!
Congrats! I totally voted for you, even though you said not to. Your photos and awesome posts pretty much guided my last trip to NYC.
You are funny. Congrats!
That's fab! See? Everyone loves you! :) Just keep on eating for us, ok? :)
while I did not vote for you, asdf{#insert_integer_here}@mailinator.com might've voted for you several times.
Congrats yo. Reverse psychology always works. NO ONE LIKES BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO.
Congrats! I knew you would get onto that list...hope all is well!
After you said not to vote for you, I immediately went to the website and voted for you. Humility wins again! :)
Heehee. Congrats! And yay for rebellious readers.
Marvo: Thank you for the luck your non-voting brought me! YOU ARE THE KEY TO MY SUCCESS!
Susan: Hehe, thanks! Maybe I am a real woman now!...or...nah not really.
Su-Lin, Jenneke, Serena, Gordon, Belinda, Terry: Thanks you!
eatyourheartout: Hehe, thanks! There are so many blogs to look at...I only voted in a handful of categories where I recognized the nominees. ;_;
Aubrey: Thanks! So glad I could help. I keep meaning to make a one-post guide to NYC, but...time..fail..
Kim: Thanks! I SHALL EAT!
Nicholas: SOOOO SLIICK you are. Hehehe. Thanks for your support. :)
Angela: Thanks! Some call it humility; I call it severe lack of self esteem. WEEE!!
Janet: Thanks! Look at all these rebels. The sweetest rebels!
Yay! Congratulations! I am so happy for you. I love your blog because reading it makes me smile. :D
Congratulations! I always love reading your blog and, of course, the photos are always impeccable. Keep on keepin' on!
Congrats!
Congratulations! You deserved it.
Whoohoo! Yay for Robyn! You totally deserve it for all your fun and crazy fooding.
Congrats, Robyn!
Reid, Marie, Matt, Erbe, Jason, Reese: Thanks, y'all!
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....
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!!!

but YOU'RE the girl who ate everything!!! DX
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.
2) I'm glad you won!!!!
Congrats!
ps, don't stop saying "innards" I like it.
I work in the Saveur office and I didn't even know this. Congrats!! You so deserve it!
Janet: AHH I bring a BELATED THANKS! Also, INNARDS INNARDS INNARDS.
Claire: You mean there isn't a poster in every hallway of your office that says (in super bold font) "ROBYN WON THIS AWARD!!!"?...cos that makes total sense. Thank you!
