Planning to start a food blog, but aren’t sure what to call it yet? I started the food (business) blog you’re reading right now so I feel qualified to pontificate about what you should name your food blog too. I hope you’re able to detect the hint of sarcasm from the previous statement.
Over the past decade, I’ve started (and failed) blogs focused on topics like marketing, air-traffic control, and remote control airplanes. During this time, I’ve watched as some blogs grow and eventually thrive, while others ultimately fail (even when they’re really good). These opinions come from years of writing about food myself, ultimately creating a successful blog, and paying attention to other people’s blogging journey.
Taking photos with food and drink is an important part of a food bloggers work.
Let’s get started with some of the top ideas I came up with for the most popular types of food blogs that publish recipes, restaurant reviews, meal plans, and lifestyle related pieces. It might seem like all the good names are already taken, but with a little creativity you’ll find that isn’t the case.
If you make it to the end of the post, I’ll share my tips and mistakes to avoid when naming a blog drawn from my experience. Here’s the outline with best name suggestions for 2022 and beyond.

Food and Lifestyle Blog Name Ideas
A food and lifestyle blog gives you more flexibility to write about a wider range of topics than just food. This approach lets you become a Chip and Joanna Gaines style of blogger. You could write about food, home decor, family, style, and share the personal things about your life too.
There are pros and cons to taking the lifestyle blogging route. On the positive side, you can write about pretty much any subject and it will be relevant. This format gives readers an opportunity to get to know you as a full person too and build deeper connections. This is all great stuff!

On the negative side, if you stretch the topics covered too thin. This can be extremely detrimental in the early days of a blog. If you’re writing about baking a pie one day on Monday, running a 5k on Wednesday, and building a DIY garden box on Friday it can be difficult for readers to understand your focus. They don’t know what to expect moving forward.
I’m not saying this approach doesn’t work, but most bloggers seem to be better served by focusing on a single topic at first. Then broadening out into different related subjects after a year or so of blogging.
This is the exact path I took as a blogger too. In the early days, I covered the food truck industry exclusively. Later, I started to talk about coffee shops, restaurants, and other food businesses. Here are some suggestions that fit into this broad category of publishing.

Tips for Choosing Food Blog Name
Don’t Go Too Narrow: If you’ve been reading other online tips about food blog URL and name selection, you may have heard the advice that you need to choose something super specific that identifies your niche. Something like “North East Organic Smoothie Chick” as an example.
Well positioned beverage photo for the blog.
This isn’t the worst advice in the world, but I have different advice drawn from my own experiences. I would rather choose a URL and blog brand that is somewhat broad and could be used to publish content across a variety of topics overtime.
One example is with the blog you’re reading now called Food Truck Empire. I wish I would have titled it something more general like Food Empire Pro so I could cover a broader range of food entrepreneurship topics without it being weird.
Side note: I will likely change my blog name in the future to expand the things I can write about. Going overly narrow can be very limiting.
Don’t get me wrong, in retrospect I would 100% still start my blog by focusing exclusively on a narrow topic such as the food truck industry. But after blogging about the same topic for a couple years it’s nice to be able to go out and speak with a restaurant owner or baker about their business to change things up.
The same issue could impact you too. If you start a meal planning blog, you might love creating food calendars for years. But eventually, you might want to do a review of a local restaurant you love to change things up. For these reasons, I like the idea of selecting a name that is a bit more broad.
You can still apply the popular advice of niching down your content by adding a tagline that identifies exactly what you plan to write about. For example, a general name like Yum Yum for Your Tum Tum: An Austin Texas Food Review Blog.
Should You Use Your Personal Name?
Should You Use Your Name?
There are hundreds of successful bloggers that incorporate their God-given name into the title of their blog. One popular example is What’s Gabby Cooking? started by Gabby Dalkin. Gabby has parlayed blogging success into exposure on broadcast television, multiple cookbooks, products sold through Williams Sonoma and of course makes a lot of money through advertising too.
Integrating your personal name into the blog works well for a couple reasons. First, it helps people connect with you directly. Readers can identify you as a living, breathing friend they can connect with instead of a faceless corporation.
The second advantage to using your name is practicality. By including your name in Gerald’s Keto Meal Blog, it becomes much easier to find an available domain name and brand that isn’t registered. This works best of if you have a less common name. Sorry to all the Jim’s out there.
There is a downside to be aware of when using your name too. If you ever want to sell your blog, it’s going to be more difficult. That doesn’t mean you won’t be able to sell it, but it will be more complex since most business buyers are usually looking to invest in a brand, not a personality.
If Tom from Tom’s Hot Dog Haven suddenly stops blogging, the regular readers will take notice if a business or another blogger buys it.
So there you have it. My two cents on coming up with a good food blog name that will serve you well for years to come. Happy brainstorming! Feel free to add any idea you’re thinking about into the comments field below and I’d be happy to give my opinion on your future blog title if you’re seeking feedback.
After you’ve got the blog name figured out, you’ll need something interesting to write about. Check out my process for coming up with awesome blog topic ideas here.
