Reader's Choice: Seattle Bon Vivant awarded Best Local Food Blog by Seattle Magazine
It's taken me a whole month to finally talk about it (tooting my own horn is not my bag) but I could not let the year end without acknowledging the honor of having my blog Seattle Bon Vivant awarded Best Local Food Blog in Seattle Magazine's Best of 2007 (December) issue.
This is not only an incredible surprise (to say that I haven't posted much this year would be an understatement) and great honor (Seattle Magazine, come on!) but what makes it most meaningful to me is that the selection was made not by a group of editors at the corporate office, but by the readers of the magazine. How incredibly sweet is that?
The funniest thing: I even got my own decal to display in my place of business. Ha! Where to put it, I wonder? :)
Anyway, heartfelt thanks to Seattle Magazine but especially to you dear readers, who have been along for the ride these past four years. It means more to me than you'll ever know and I'm so grateful.

Congratulations from one Seattle blogger to another! How VERY cool that you've been nominated -- and without advertising, no less! (I'm with you there, too...)

Hi Viv,
In the last few months, you may remember receiving an email invitation to become a part of the Foodbuzz Featured Publisher Program. With all the recipe-writing and food photography to be completed, we know emails can easily get lost in the shuffle, so Foodbuzz would like to re-extend our offer of inviting you to be a part of our food blogger network. I would love to send you more details about the program, so if you are interested, please email me at Shannon@foodbuzz.com.
And CONGRATULATIONS on being recognized as Best Local Food Blog! That is so exciting! We all look forward to your posts in the days to come. =)
Cheers!

You are terrific at what you do, that's for sure. I especially love(vicariously) your trips to other places, like France.

And as always your faithful readership stands at the ready!
BTW - you know you could get one of those small clear picture frames and put the decal in that and then put it on your desk.
Happy New Year.
Aww pops! Thank you!!! How the heck have you been? Are you still in West Seattle? It is so nice to see you! And yes, that is a great idea! I'll have to get something done and soon! :)
