My name is Jimmy, and I’m the author of Eat It, Atlanta, recently named one of the top twenty food blogs in Atlanta. I think my site stands out due to penmanship, charisma, and a strong understanding of how to use a thesaurus. Also, I can afford a $1000 camera.
I started this site mostly with the intention of cooking and writing about it, but I love to go out to eat and take photos of my food. Since upgrading from a point and shoot camera to a digital SLR, people assume I’m legit when dining out, so I sometimes get better service. Unfortunately, I still have to pay for my meals.
I do go to the occasional PR orchestrated restaurant opening or event, but only if I have a genuine interest or could learn something. Also, be warned, if I have a problem with the restaurant during this event, unlike some other blogs in Atlanta, I’m going call them out.
I make $45 a month in ad revenue from Food Buzz, and have done writing stints for Air Tran Go Magazine and Creative Loafing. I lost money on both assignments. Clearly, I’m in this for the cash.
I write with no schedule, no editor, and about anything that interests me. As long as I keep having fun, making new friends, and learning a crazy amount about food and wine, I’ll continue to do so. Unless people hurt my feelings in the comments. I can’t take that.
