Addie Broyles   

When it’s your job to write about food in a city like Austin, what do you do for fun?

For Addie Broyles, a Show-Me-State native and graduate of the University of Missouri journalism school, anything that involves swimming holes, photography, gardening or her curious toddler or musician husband.

In Relish Austin, a column and food blog for the Austin American-Statesman, she writes about everything from farmers to food tattoos, blackberry pie to barbecues.

On The Feminist Kitchen, she tackles issues related to the f-words: food and feminism.

She is a leader in the Central Texas food blogging community, which has more than 200 food blogs by her last count, and has been named one of the top food writers on Twitter.
