I don't have much to say about the event, because I didn't take notes, didn't record it, and I was a bit nervous so can't remember many details about what we all talked about. Perhaps later in the day my fellow panelists and some of our fellow foodbloggers in attendance will chime in on their sites and I'll link.
We basically talked about the role of foodblogs in food media (were they a threat—ha!—to traditional media or a complementary source of info), why we started our respective blogs, what kept us blogging, which food writers we liked, and what other blogs we liked out there.
I felt I was a bit ineloquent at times and was told I was gesticulating too much, and I wanted to name a lot of fellow foodbloggers as daily reads but then fell flat and drew a blank, even though some of them were in the audience. Sorry, folks!
CONGRATULATIONS! I wish I could have been there. If I were still in NY I would have definitely been there. I count both you and Josh as some of my inspirations.
Hi, Reid. Thanks! Would have been nice to see you there and meet you in person. As for podcasting ... UGH! I wish someone would have made that suggestion before the panel. We could have recorded it and offered one. But other forms of podcasting, as far as my sites go, I don't know if we'd ever do one. Don't know how you'd translate burger- or pizza-blogging into an audio format.
That said, I'm working on a form of piPod but for burger-related material... DEVELOPING!
Thanks Reid. I didn't even think of that! I wish I did, because I have a friend who is a professional radio producer who probably could have created a quality recording.

So, last night was the Food Blog Panel at Makor Center. As you might know, yours truly was a member of the panel, along with Alaina "A Full Belly" Browne and Josh "The Food Section" Friedland. Andrea Strong moderated.

Hey Adam,

Do you know if there are any plans for a podcast?
