Welcome to our little food community, where we hope you’ll become more than an avid reader. In the coming months, we’ll be implementing a merit system that will allow you to become a contributor. We’re really excited to start a conversation with our readers, to share ideas and inspiration, and to embark on this culinary adventure together.

But first, we’d like to thank the Academy…

OK, joking aside, there are some folks we need to thank. Don’t fall asleep yet — there’s some important info following on how We The Eaters works.

First and foremost — Adam, our amazing web developer. Without you, we simply wouldn’t exist. Max, who braved a thousand edits to help us make the look of this site a reality. Our wonderful friends and family, because it’s your encouragement and excitement that’s kept us going.

Thanks for bearing with us. Speaking of us … find out more about the masterminds behind We The Eaters here.

There’s no real trick to using the site, but there are a few things you need to know:

Each month, there’s a theme. Each week in that month, we’ll serve up a different take on that theme.

August 2012:  Grilling
Week One: Grilled Burgers
Week Two: Grilled Sides
Week Three … We’d reveal more, but that would ruin the surprise. You get the basic idea.

So thanks for joining us — we look forward to cooking with you!
