Ellen Manning wins Best Food/Drink Blogger at the Midlands Food Drink & Hospitality Awards
Congratulations to Ellen Manning on winning “Best food/drink blogger at the Midlands Food Drink & Hospitality Awards (MFDH).
Ellen said “This week, much to my surprise, this little slice of WordPress Wonderland won the Best Food/Drink Blogger category in the Midlands Food Drink & Hospitality Awards (MFDH). I was up against four other bloggers who are all very good in their own right. I read all their work, I follow them, I get inspired by places they go and often follow in their footsteps. I didn’t expect to win, but I did.
The thing about awards, much like opinions on restaurants, is that they’re subjective. The MFDH Awards involve a public vote but also a panel of judges. Ultimately, it’s they who decided who won, as they did for those restaurants, bars, chefs, sommeliers and other hard-working members of the food and drink industry. And for whatever their reasons, they decided to give it to me this year. I don’t think it’s necessarily because I’m better than the other finalists, but I guess the judges decided I wasn’t worse. Either way, they recognised the work I’ve put into this blog, they recognised the votes you guys gave, and they gave me a lovely certificate, a trophy and a title I can bandy around until next year’s worthy winner is announced.”
