Melbourne’s top food and drink blogs

Today it is four years since I started this blog and decided to update my list of the top food and drink bloggers in Melbourne. Out of the 80 or so I listed two years ago about 46 survive. The others have either moved interstate or abroad or just stopped.

The list here is any blog that has updated in the past six months. I’ve also included some commercial food and wine blogs.

I’m certain that some blogs have been left out or some dates may be wrong. Please leave any I’ve missed in comments and I’ll update this post.

in the meantime, why not enter my competition to win one of ten Vietnamese BBQs.

It looks like food blogging may have peaked in 2007, a year in which they got a lot of publicity. Perhaps now people take the easy option and turn to Twitter instead.
