Another year, another 365 days of the greatest food culture ever.* Besides a great year for our blog, the Foodiggity Shop saw some respectable growth — with traffic up around 75% from last year, going worldwide with the addition of international shipping, and the addition of a few new products to the lineup. So, thank you to all of our loyal fans and customers.

Without further ado, the reason why we’re here… Foodiggity’s Best of the Year. This time, divided into two categories — trends from the past year, and the obligatory “Best of,” with a clear standout for our most popular and successful post and product of the year. Please enjoy, and Happy New Year.
