Cool food blog, not sure why it's on HN though.

Assuming the submitter created it (it's a Show HN), it's presumed relevant -- any new project from anyone in the "HN community" is a reasonable topic, even if it's not something which would be otherwise discussion-fodder for HN.

The submitter probably should include more info on the project (why, tools used, etc.) to make the posting relevant to HN, along with specific requests (like, "would you pay for this?" or "how can I make this work on mobile" or whatever).

Yeah, some more information about its creation would be appreciated.

Difficult to do under the stated rules of the forum. They'd have to do a blog post with the information sought and link to that instead of the project proper. Personally, I'd rather the link go directly to the project. But there's no way to add additional information to such posts.

I'm sure the creator will get around to checking the thread soon enough to answer questions.

Yeah, the right thing to do right now is generally to do a Show HN post with the URL, and then immediately make a post introducing yourself and your project and stuff in that thread.
