Previously held in Center City, Fairmount, South Philly, and Fairmount Park, the food blogger potluck came back to Center City last weekend. About 40 people gathered at Messy and Picky HQ for the 5th installment of the potluck. Approximately a dozen blogs were represented by around 20 bloggers with the other half being friends added into the mix who undoubtedly heard of the good eats to be had! We were more than happy to let everyone run amok in our place — especially with the promise of delicious leftovers to last us for weeks (or in our case, more like days)!

The dishes were very dessert-heavy, but that was all good. The sugary dishes were evened out by more wine than the 40 of us could drink in four hours. The non-sweet dishes were all the more special with meatball subs courtesy of fries with that shake; a rocket, pomegranate, goat cheese salad courtesy of Fork You!; an Indian dish courtesy of Philly Food Guys and cheeses from the hosts and the Inky's Rick Nichols who was curious to learn more about Philly's ridiculously well represented food blogging scene.

We forgot to pass around a piece of paper to have a list of every blog in attendance, but such is life. Everyone had a great time. And Picky got to take some fun photos of everyone and they couldn't refuse because they were at our house! e brought over some fun cups leftover from the potluck at her house awhile ago. They were put to good non-drinking use:

It was great to see everyone and we're looking forward to gorging ourselves at the next foodie potluck! Some more photos of the food and the nose cup fun in this flickr set.
