Vote for Kitchen Konfidence. Yay!!!

I highly recommend http://wholelarderlove.com/

It's head and shoulders above the rest, IMO. I particularly enjoy reading about Rohan's quest for self-sufficiency; and his approach to eating meat is honest and refreshing.

matt bites is the best!

Manger is the number one <3

Vote for Crepesofwrath.net!

like matt bites a lot for freshness but Manger is in a different league

www.SwellFood.com is the best, this is a great site about real food, but also photographed like someone who LOVES food!

Love Manger. LOVE.

please put up http://www.bettybake.co.za as a nomination

It is a little sad that this contest isn't about who is a good photographer and just about who is popular and has lots of friends/followers. Maybe an independent panel of experts might be a better way to do this in the future. Just a suggestion.

I think Slim Palate is pretty interesting, and he's only 17!!

Keirsten's Kitchen is great! She caters, too. The only Paleo Catering company in Maine!

http://www.whiskaffair.com/ is my nomination...

Literally found myself craving for some of the food on crepes of wrath. Good job. I think it is going to be a deserved win for them.

Vote for pickled Plum!!

I voted for: http://trishabeckelphoto.blogspot.com/

Beautiful photos!

I highly recommend Gormandize with A-dizzle and K-bobo!

Hunger and Thirst does a great job:

Oops, I need to brush up on my HTML tags. Here's the link for Hunger and Thirst: http://www.hungerandthirstforlife.blogspot.com/">. Hopefully this one works.

I love "MANGER" - Mimi's food and her husband's photography are beautiful!

The Clever Carrot has my vote! Gorgeous photos- literally mouth watering!

http://www.theclevercarrot.com/

I voted for Marmaduke Scarlet because her photos look really appetizing, http://marmadukescarlet.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/on-frosty-january-morning-nigel-slaters.html

But you can tell how much her photography has improved over the last year or so! (Hope she won't mind me saying that!)

I nominate www.YumVeg.com

This site is beautiful. Arminda makes healthy meals and takes her own beautiful photography to go along with her easy recipes. Love this site!

Voted for wander and scout!

Cannot figure out how is the right way to nominate, but I nominate Framed Cooks for best food photography.

Great race for that 6th spot! Congrats to thealbrecht for making it so close. Maybe next year! My vote now goes to Manger. Great photo's Mimi!

Manger is by far the best!

So someone has 47,000 followers on their Facebook page and posts every two hours with a link to come vote here... and then they sweep all of the food categories. This contest was not at all representational of the views of The Kitchn readers, which is unfortunate.

BUT- this has been a fantastic way to showcase tons of other really amazing blogs that I never would have heard of otherwise! Which is probably really the point, in the end.

Oops- I misread- they got two of the three categories. My bad!
