SXSW 17: Food Bloggers Bash at the Cedar Door
What’s the tweetiest community in Austin? High tech? Politics? Music? Movies? I’d put my bets on the food nation. I see more activity on Twitter, more foodie blogs, more Yelp reviews, you name it, about restaurants, food trailers, gardening, recipes and sustainable cooking and eating than any other general topic.
Peter Tsai and Kristina Vallejo
Which reminds me of the focus groups we conducted in 1994 for the launch of the XL weekly entertainment magazine. The No. 1 entertainment choice for Austinites? Going out to eat. Hasn’t changed since then.
Vivian Chang and David Park
The Food Bloggers Bash at Cedar Door, timed to SXSW Interactive, saluted the networkers and thinkers in the field. (Merrily, there was more food in the back room than during the Texas Social Media Awards the night before.) Even though I rarely post here on food, my husband Kip and I are avid cooks and devout fans of Austin’s restaurant community.
So these, to some extent, are my people. Loved hanging out with them and Statesman foodie cicerone Addie Broyles.
