Although Clean Plate Charlie is the only food blog you really need to read daily, some people just can't get enough. Here are some highlights of other local food blogs:

The color scheme is a little hard to stomach (Pink and aqua? Really?) and it's not updated on a regular basis, but Eat It, Miami features fun restaurant reviews and a simple Eat It, Don't Eat It scale.

Foodtastic reviewed Bulldog Barbecue in North Miami earlier this week. You decide for yourself...

The Sun-Sentinel's food blog SUP is updated daily and features reviews and information about something Clean Plate Charlie rarely touches, huge chain restaurants.

Need something to wash all that food down? The South Florida Punch is dedicated to helping wine lovers in every possible way, like this article about how to truly appreciate wine.

Tinkering With Dinner is loaded with recipes and cooking techniques. Check out this steamed scallion and sausage buns recipe (pictured above).
