My husband and I parked, and went into what we hoped was the entrance to the restaurant. There was no sign.
We uncertainly started to make our way down a dimly lit hallway when another couple came up behind us.
Uncertain that we were headed the right way, my husband asked them, “Do you know where you’re going?”
The woman laughed. “No,” she said. “We were just following you!”
It was an interesting experience working as an event volunteer last weekend at the International Food Blogger Conference. I stuffed swag bags, alphabetized name badges, registered attendees, prepared platters of food, broke down literally hundreds of cardboard boxes and hauled trash. I even had a flashback to my college days as a barista when I spent two hours doing nothing other than brewing coffee.
The biggest perk of this job was that I got to eat some amazing food: lamp chops with a wasabi crust, mini beef bahn mi sandwiches by Lisa Dupar, steak tartare personally prepared and served by Daisley Gordon of Campagne, geoduck ceviche and all the Theo Chocolate I wanted.
I also got to see and hear from Morgan Spurlock of “Supersize Me,” fame, “Saveur” magazine editor-in-chief James Oseland and other famous food folk.
