The Austin Food Blogger Alliance City Guide (#atxcityguide) was first created by a group of Austin food bloggers in 2010 as a resource for visitors in town for SXSW. The guide was updated and expanded in 2011, to share posts from local food bloggers to help out-of-towners as well as locals navigate the ever-changing Austin food scene.
