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.
Looks like so much fun! I've been terribly sick for more than a week now…so sad I missed it.
Thanks for hosting- it was really fun and great to meet so many of the philly bloggers!
Messy and Picky, your place was absolutely perfect for the event. Thanks for hosting. It was nice to see so many new faces.
Thanks again for hosting! It was great to see you guys again.
thanks for hosting! i didn't really get to talk to the two of you, but you have an amazing home. thanks again!
That looks like it was a lot of fun. Actually, one of the reasons I finally got motivated and put together a food blog was so that I'd be able to meet other local food bloggers, but I completely missed that there was a potluck coming up. How would I go about finding the next one?
Thanks again for allowing me to be part of the gathering! I had a great time drinking, eating, and chatting it up with complete strangers:) I'm looking forward to our next food-lovers engagement!
Looks like I missed a good time. Sorry I couldn't have been there but I was called into duty to pour vino alongside some visiting German wine growers. See you next go 'round, I hope.
Thank you again for hosting us in your amazing home!
