I’ve mentioned plenty of times how much I like shopping around Grand Central Terminal, and of course they have some St. Patty’s Day offerings. Yum! Their PR representative sent over some stuff for me to try… This Shamrock Brownie – you know I don’t like chocolate, but I had to take a big bite out of this (and stop myself from eating the whole thing). Super fudgy, dense, chocolaty… wow. If you like chocolate, you really need to pick up one of these adorable brownies – it’ll send you into choco-coma. Leprechaun cupcake – I gave this to [...]

Something exciting! another contest! Fellow NY food blogger, Cathy Erway (of Not Eating Out in NY) has written a book about her intense journey, well, not eating out in NY. I’ve been an avid reader and fan of her blog since near inception; it was something I considered a few times but I just… well, I can’t do it. No, that’s not true, I CAN, I just don’t want to. But I completely respect Cathy’s mission and have adored reading about it from the beginning and still now! Her book is due out on 2/18 and can be pre-ordered here (affiliate [...]

click to enlargeHere’s the big one! The dinner everyone wants to hear about… Outstanding in the Field, a giant warehouse, and a billion (okay, not a BILLION, but a lot) of food bloggers. You’re going to have to ignore my awful photographs and look at someone else who probably has way better pictures, because cold warehouse + poor lighting + jabbering away + wine refills + plus plus plus… let’s just say my photographs leave something to be desired, mm’k? I watched them prep these awesome bowls of soup – mushroom dashi, maitake, shimeji and enoki mushrooms. [...]

Also on Saturday, happening around the sparkling wine session I attended, was the Afternoon Tasting Pavilion at the Metreon. I didn’t take too many pictures for whatever reason, and don’t remember the names of everything, either. I just know I picked up a ton of swag and lugged it around for the better part of the afternoon… which translates to a great workout! And more prizes to be given away on the blog eventually. Ha. Some sort of ceviche that I recall being yummy. Mezzetta’s booth had these awesome basil-strawberry martinis. Pretty yummy. I wrote about Mezzetta once [...]
SF Foodbuzz Food Bloggers Fest – Cheese & Sparkling Wine Sessions (Saturday)

As part of the Foodbuzz Food Bloggers Festival, we were asked to sign up for informational/tasting sessions for Saturday’s festivities. I immediately signed up for CHEESE – Cowgirl Creamery – and sparkling wine. Good thing, too, because I later heard that they filled up so quickly, a lot of people were forced to take the other sessions! (Of course, the other sessions had swag, but I was happy with my choices!) The morning cheese tasting session… See the woman in the white coat? She kind of reminded me of the cheesemonger on Sex and the City, in that long ago [...]
