Michele too I simply returned from a wonderful long weekend inwards Portland, where nosotros attended the 2012 International Food Bloggers Conference. It was our kickoff see to “Stumptown,” too nosotros thoroughly enjoyed our remain (although, I never did meet fifty-fifty 1 stump).
People were really friendly, too the local nutrient scene was equally vibrant too interesting equally I’d heard it would be, but the highlight was the photography workshop I got to participate inwards amongst my friend, too celebrated NY Times nutrient photographer/writer, Andrew Scrivani.
Despite a few modest fry glitches, nosotros somehow managed to fool the large audience into thinking we’d set on an informative too highly entertaining show. My theory is that they were too so hung over from the nighttime earlier that they weren’t fully aware what was going on, but nevertheless, the reviews on Twitter were embarrassingly positive.
In example you lot missed it, here’s a video that my friends at Jenn-Air shot, showing some highlights from the session. I’d similar to give thank you lot them for sponsoring the event, along amongst Anolon, Wüsthof, OXO, too Ninja. Also, a huge give thank you lot you to Sheri, Barnaby, too the residue of the Foodista/Zephyr Adventures’ squad for inviting me to participate, too for putting on such a fun event. See you lot side yesteryear side twelvemonth inwards Seattle!
For additional coverage of the event, I invite you lot to banking concern stand upwardly for out Andrew’s IFBC post, likewise equally my novel friend Paola Thomas’ entertaining recap here. Enjoy!
A Few Random Post-IFBC Thoughts:
Saying Goodbye to Social Media
It’s over. The social media bubble is simply almost to burst, too anyone who is unfortunate plenty to hold upwardly standing underneath it when it does is going to teach soaked amongst scalding hot irony. That’s right, the really nutrient bloggers whose unbridled enthusiasm for social self-promotion helped construct this cheesy soufflé, are at in 1 trial tiring of the pungent scent, too openly rooting for its collapse. Shame on us. I’d produce a Facebook poll to meet what you lot think, but yesteryear the fourth dimension I figure out how to set it up, the site volition in all probability hold upwardly down.
Instagram, FTW
One app immune to this social media fatigue is Instagram. It seems equally though nutrient bloggers beloved it simply equally much equally the nutrient inwards their pictures. It’s no wonder. Thanks to Instagram’s filters, those forgettable jail mobile telephone telephone shots nosotros used to post service are at in 1 trial vivid works of art…every 1 of them…brilliant. What used to hold upwardly a blurry eggplant is at in 1 trial transformed into a scene too so poignant, Joseph Pulitzer would weep. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to fix a shot of my truthful cat sipping on a cappuccino.
Portland Has Great Food
Michele too I had 1 keen repast later on some other during our stay. We enjoyed the uniquely delicious cuisine of Le Pigeon, got our smoke on at Ox, too dined al fresco at Departure, where nosotros experienced a sentiment equally spectacular equally Chef Gregory Gourdet’s food. And, don’t fifty-fifty teach me started on the amazing local beer too cocktails. I hold off frontwards to a furnish trip soon, too so nosotros tin plough over the sack banking concern stand upwardly for out all the places nosotros missed. Thanks in 1 trial to a greater extent than to everyone to chimed inwards amongst recommendations!
