Well, I made it back safely last night from Miami. I had a really good time last year, but this year's
FNSBW&FF was truly outstanding. I met lots of amazing people, drank some awesome wine, scarffed on some all right food, and even picked up a few cooking tips along the way.
Here's a little slideshow of photos. I'm sorry if it takes a while to load.
It's so surreal to think that less than two years ago I decided to start a blog about Food Network people and now, just yesterday, I was sitting on a couch in the lobby of the Loews hotel next to Iron Chef Morimoto while waiting for Tyler Florence and his wife to come downstairs for coffee. So crazy!
Stay tuned over the coming days for my in-depth (perhaps obsessive?) coverage of the Grand Tasting Village, cooking demos, and late night parties... plus interviews with
Ace of Cake's Duff, Mary Alice & Geoff and
Tyler Florence. Also, be on the lookout for my interview with Adam Roberts on foodnetwork.com's
FN Dish. They already have some fun videos posted from the weekend.
Okay... back to reality.
