\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m now reminiscent of the Second Annual Foodbuzz Bloggers Festival<\/a>\u00a0that took place\u00a0November 5 – 7th in San Francisco.\u00a0\u00a0I had a wonderful time meeting hundreds of notable Food Bloggers throughout the weekend.\u00a0 This report is our final in the 3-2-1 Foodbuzz Blogger Festival\u00a0Wrap Up.\u00a0 Wish I could dig into it all\u00a0again —\u00a0Perhaps next year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Gala Dinner hosting 350 Food Bloggers on the last night of the festival was held at The Grand Hall, Ferry Building, which was nice and worked well.\u00a0 The table settings were striking\u00a0and filled with a sea of Wine glasses for pairing with each dinner course.\u00a0 Bonny Doon Vineyard<\/a> poured it all.\u00a0 Thanks!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Roasted Golden Beet Tart <\/strong>was paired with 2009 Bonny Doon Vineyard Ca’ del Solo Albarino.\u00a0 And my favorite was the Rosemary and Garlic Infused Rack of Lamb <\/strong>paired with the 2006 Bonny Doon Vineyard Le Cigare Volant.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before entering The Grand Hall for dinner, we enjoyed hors d’oeurves and more Wine outside.\u00a0 I was most impressed with the Cucumber basket weave mat beneath the Hoisin Beef and Scallion Rolls<\/strong> — It greatly contributes to\u00a0presentation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the dinner ended with a Tarta de Almendras with Oranges<\/strong> — Would you believe its crowning garnish glory was made\u00a0of Parmesan Cheese?\u00a0 It was and I loved\u00a0it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I met countless Food Bloggers who flew in from everywhere — A few special friends included Ginny of Food-G<\/a>, Geri of The Princess Gourmet<\/a> and Mimi of Cute Pig<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also had the pleasure of meeting Rosa of The Catty Critic<\/a>, Kat of\u00a0Kat’s 9 Lives<\/a>, Elizabeth of Ms. Lin Guide<\/a>, Jennifer of\u00a0Kirbie’s Cravings<\/a>,\u00a0Donald of Mochi Thoughts<\/a>,\u00a0and several others soon to be linked below.\u00a0 If pictured and your name and link isn’t included, PLEASE send your information, because I really want to include it — Didn’t collect all the cards I wanted.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before the Farewell Brunch the next morning, I thought I might be\u00a0done meeting and eating, as I’d overloaded on both throughout the weekend — Then met Angela of the Spinach Tiger<\/a>,\u00a0a fabulous lady living an admirable life in Tennessee.\u00a0 Getting to know her\u00a0over more food and drinks capped\u00a0the weekend.\u00a0 It was certainly a pleasure\u00a0meeting all pictured\u00a0bloggers and other fabulous mentionables\u00a0soon to be linked\u00a0here in an update.\u00a0 Thanks Foodbuzz. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
