Top Local Bloggers In South Florida

South Florida was one of the last major metropolitan areas to jump aboard the blogging train when blogs began to get noticed several years ago. Despite the late participation, South Florida is thankfully now home to a number of really impressive blogs. These bloggers are some of the best talents behind local blogs for reasons ranging from witty writing styles and impressive photography to area insider information and plenty of personality. They blog on topics that include culture, food, lifestyle and fashion and there is something to capture the attention of just about any blog lover.

Food For Thought

The list of top local bloggers in the area includes an exception in the form of an anonymous blogger. He or she desires to remain nameless, citing the reasons as not wanting to distract from his/her day job achievements as well as not to be spotted on dining trips out. Whoever does write Food For Thought offers readers intelligent and detailed reviews about dining events, experiences and meals at South Florida restaurants and dining venues. The opinion-based reviews seem to be unbiased enough and they're clearly the expression of someone who knows food well and truly enjoys to dine.
