The Best of Epic Meal Time (Part 2)

It’s been almost one year since we did the original best of Epic Meal Time so I thought now was a good time to look at the best of this year in EMT.  It’s no secret to regular readers that we’re big fans of food and cooking.

With the start of a new year today, let’s take a look back at the last 12 months on the blog. Last year was another massive year for the blog.
