Join Charlotte Food Bloggers

Are you a Charlotte-area blogger looking to connect with other foodies, attend events, and become more active in the local food community? You’re in the right place. Charlotte Food Bloggers is for bloggers who are home cooks, home brewers, chefs, bakers, mixologists, restaurant reviewers, writers, photographers, travel experts and food lovers — or any combination thereof. We love to explore the Queen City in search of the best food and drink, and then blog about it. We’d love for you to join Charlotte Food Bloggers today!

Beginning April 1, 2017, members are subject to a $20 annual membership fee; in addition, some events may be ticketed.

    • • North Carolina: Cabarrus, Catawba, Iredell, Gaston, Lincoln, Rowan, Union
    • South Carolina: Chester, Lancaster, York

• Content aggregator or review sites such as Yelp, Foodspotting, Zomato, etc. as well as Facebook pages and Instagram accounts do not qualify as blogs and therefore do not meet our conditions for membership.
