Tiny Bites in the news!

10 Comments June 30, 2008

The past week has been a flurry of activity in the Tiny Bites sphere, starting with the funfest that was SteakCamp and culminating in 2 mentions in the local press. I’m awestruck that this little blog has gotten the attention that it has since my first post only 4 months ago. Here are the pieces and the people that have given Tiny Bites some media love, for which I am truly grateful.

Cyberbuzz.com and 24hrs: SteakCamp recap and TastyBites.ca

Tiny Bites in 24hrs!

The original issuer of the SteakCamp challenge, Buzz Bishop, was kind enough to mention Raul and myself in Wednesday’s CyberBuzz sidebar. The URL went to print as tastybites.ca, but with a little bit of webmaster magic that morning, I got that link pointed to this site rather than to a 404. Thank you for the mention, Buzz!

Tiny Bites on the WestEnder Fresh Sheet

There’s another new local food blog to get addicted to. This one is called Tiny Bites (TinyBites.ca), and it’s brought to us by Karen Hamilton, a young “techie by day, foodie by night.” The blog is only a few months old, but it’s already jammed with photos of food and restaurants to salivate over, and the posts just keep coming.

Tiny Bites in the WestEnder!

Andrew Morrison, the man behind Waiter Blog and now Urban Diner, has been writing kick-ass pieces on Vancouver’s food scene long before I had the inclination to try my hand at it. Imagine my surprise when emails and comments flowed in of his mention of this site in the WestEnder this week! I’ve been giggling like a schoolgirl ever since. Thanks Andrew!

    Jay: Ha! Those kilted days are long past. The hat is a new purchase…you like? Celebrity and I don’t mix well so don’t you worry about that =)

    [...] to meet food writer Andrew Morrison over the past few months.  Our acquaintanceship began with his plug for Tiny Bites in the column he writes for the WestEnder.  Since then, I’ve had the privilege of joining [...]
