When EatingOxford.com went live in November of 2009, offering a comprehensive list of the restaurants in and around Oxford, along with a regularly updated blog that keeps locals in tune with what’s going on around town, it filled a void for food lovers, and its popularity quickly grew.

To date, more than 100,000 visitors have come to read nearly 300 posts on the EatingOxford.com blog, helping to move it up the ranks to No.1 blog in Mississippi on Urbanspoon.com and keep it there for more than a year.
