Checking in on the foodie webs this afternoon (we spent the morning hosting an Eat Well Inaugural Potluck here in the office), I see that many of our favorites, including Serious Eats and Kim O’Donnel of A Mighty Appetite, are all a-Twitter about Obama Foodorama, a blog we’ve recently fallen for but neglected to mention until now.
Obama Foodorama is the brainchild of one Eddie Gehman Kohen, who has spent the last few days reporting from DC, and has apparently spent the last few years creating and collecting amazing foodie web art. Check out the buttons (we’re particularly fond of the Broc Obama head, and not just because it links to us) in the right side bar, and see more from Gehman Kohen’s other site (which she runs with her sisters Pleasant and Meghan), the Haphazard Gourmet Girls. Good stuff! (Side note: Eddie is so great that she actually offered to bake some Obama cookies for us to use as a visual image to accompany our post on our Inaugural Travel Guides, but wound up putting us in touch with the folks from Little Rae’s Bakery, instead)
While I’m at it, I’ll take the opportunity to point a few more of our favorite new food blogs, including Change.org’s new sustainable food blog, Slow Food Nation spin-off Civil Eats and Pooja (who’s graced our web pages a time or two) Mottl’s Breaking Green.
It’s inspiring to see this surge of such high-quality voices join the ranks of the sustainable food choir — and as we, as a country, get to work on the myriad social, environmental and economic problems we face, we will need all the voices we can get to help keep people informed, inspired and engaged. We hope that President Obama, or at least his team, will lend an ear to our efforts, and we hope that you will raise your voices among ours and our friends’ to let the incoming administration know how you feel about issues like CAFOs, food security and access, genetic modification and farm subsidies. And as always, we invite you to chime in here on the Green Fork, whether you send us a story or drop a note in the comments section.
