History and growth

[edit]

The Daily Meal was launched in October 2010 by Spanfeller Media Group,[7] a venture backed Web-based content company led by Jim Spanfeller.[8] The Daily Meal provides both original content and that which is aggregated from various contributors and media partners.[9] The website draws over 8 million unique visitors per month, according to Google Analytics, and ranks as one of the fastest-growing content sites of all time.

In February 2012, the site unveiled a new homepage design and launched The Daily Meal Video Network, a video platform fully owned and operated by The Daily Meal.[10] The Video Network is available across the site’s multiple channels and offers features including step-by-step recipe guides; behind-the-scenes looks into trendy eateries; and discussions with top chefs and culinary stars.[11] The Daily Meal launched The World of Wine in July 2013, one of the largest resources for wine lovers available on the web. Covering more than 60,000 wines, the special section merges thorough descriptions of the world's wine regions and grape varieties, with tips on wine–food pairings, recipe ideas, winemaker's notes, and suggestions for similar wines.[12]

Editorial staff

[edit]

The Daily Meal is under the editorial direction of Colman Andrews, a co-founder and former editor-in-chief of Saveur magazine. Andrews is also a recipient of eight James Beard Awards and the author of numerous cookbooks. His most recent work for Chronicle, The Country Cooking of Italy, was named International Cookbook and Cookbook of the Year by the James Beard Foundation in 2010. Colman has been a regular guest chef on NBC's Today Show, and has appeared on Good Morning America, several PBS programs, the Food Network, the Lifetime Channel, the Discovery Channel, and numerous regional cable and morning talk shows.[13]
