Meet. Greet. Eat. Share.
Over the weekend, more than three hundred Foodbuzz Featured Publishers followed the same agenda at the Second Annual Foodbuzz Blogger Festival. Publishers flew in from across the country and around the world to San Francisco—the home of Foodbuzz—for a weekend full of tastings, seminars, and the chance to meet and learn from one another.
When I launched Kitchen Confidante, I imagined blogging as a solitary pursuit: cook, photograph, write. As the readership grew, I discovered that comments turn into acquaintances and sometimes friendships. The blog became a community.
I was surprised to learn about food blogger conferences happening nationwide—events that often sell out. Once I realized Foodbuzz organized a festival for its Featured Publishers, attending was an obvious choice. I knew I had to be there.
For me it was a short drive across the bridge, but many attendees arrived from every corner of the U.S., plus Canada and Bulgaria. As always, I felt proud of San Francisco, which I consider a true foodie utopia.
