The Mayor of Flavortown

Flavortown’s Next Mayor!

When I received this prestigious honor, I asked Shah (our inaugural Flavortown Mayor) what it means to be mayor of Flavortown. 

He responded "it's up to you".

So here's what it means to me:

This person should be an inspiration to all Flavortown citizens - in work ethic, in enthusiasm for Tumblr and our wonderful community

This person should be a visionary - a vanguard of Bold Flavors, leading the way with creativity and style

This person should be helpful AF - this one is self explanatory

And as I thought about these attributes, a clear successor came to mind: Caragh!

Caragh, thank you for all you do, for being a one-woman tour de force, champion of our communities, and the literal voice of Tumblr. We love you.

The Mayor of Flavortown Award

Today we announced the first winner of the Mayor of Flavortown Award, an informal and unofficial award that will go to anyone who brings the boldest of flavors, the spiciest of wings, and the most uplifting portion of donkey sauce to the lives and work of those around them.

We hope to rotate this award every once in awhile among members of the Tumblr staff in celebration of their amazingness. The Mayor will have the ability to pass their office along to whoever they wish, whenever they wish. We may call upon them at times to make bold pronouncements and give spicy hot takes.

Stay tuned for more mayors!

Note that this award is in no way endorsed by Guy Fieri or Food Network or his restaurants or anything. Not yet anyway.
