Scenes from IFBC 2011 New Orleans
August 31st, 2011 § 19 Comments
I’d say
that this past weekend at IFBC
was among the very
very
best of my life,
but I’m not convinced that quite captures how much I loved every
single
deep fried,
sweet southern
minute.
I felt engaged in each session.
I ate my (and your) fried food quota for at least 16 full weeks.
I “found” beads in the French Quarter.
I may have even [successfully?] guilted my dear friend, Andrew Scrivani, into photographing my second book, a cookbook.
I laughed and loved with dozens of friends.
I Bourboned more than one Street.
I danced and cocktailed and hurricaned til each morning came, hot and humid.
Made absolutely certain to publicly embarrass myself no less than 3 [three] unmentionable times.
Slept a combined ten hours in 5 days.
…
The International Food Blogger Conference New Orleans was
incredible.
Can’t wait for Santa Monica 
…and of course IFBC Miami 2012
just sayin’! Fabulous to finally meet you! PS- IFBC was UH-mazing – great job!
Ha! It seems a lot of people are publishing their IFBC posts today! Loved, loved, loved every minute of last weekend and I CAN NOT thank you enough for giving me the opportunity to come. And I’m so glad I got to meet you!
After IFBC Miami, IFBC Memphis at the Peabody Hotel would also be a good choice in the future!
When will you be in Santa Monica! I’d love to come and say hi!
I may be late to this train, but–A Cookbook?! Very exciting!!! Already going on my wishlist! lol This conference sounds absolutely delightful. Glad you had such a great time!
Love the pics! Looks like an awesome time…so jealous!
This seems like such an awesome experience! I need/want to go next year!
Andie, you did an AMAZING job organizing this conference. I had an amazing weekend as well, and as you know, I was very excited to meet you! I posted the pic I snapped of you, me and Marissa in the recap I did on my blog. I’m so glad I was able to attend. I met some amazing people and came away with some great tips and ideas. I can’t wait until next year!
No guilt trip involved, whatsoever. I am excited about the possibility of working with Andie on her book. Judging by how exciting and well organized IFBC was on her watch, I am sure it will be amazing. You all need to come to Santa Monica.
I’m so happy that you had such a great time! I can’t watch the video at work right now because I don’t have sound on my computer though
Can you please do a recipe about spinach and artichoke dip for me? It’s one of my favorite dishes to make and I’d love to see your take on it.
I just realized its pictures not a video haha. Great pictures Andie!
I want your job! Want to trade, how does being a 6th grade middle school math teacher in Brooklyn sound to you Andy?
these pictures!
i wish there was a conference for us “just blog readers” to go and meet the people we follow everyday.
we feel left out
Glad you had such a great time in my city! Sounds like and looks like you got all of the goods
Ack! You’re teasing us with a 2nd book, when we can’t yet have your 1st!
When is Santa Monica?
I love the pictures, Andie! I wish I could have gone… maybe next year!
Awesome pictures- they totally take me back there! And all that food looks incredible. Did you manage to score a muffaletta when you were there? They’re my absolute favorite sandwich.
Your posts make me feel like I was there with you…and your words make me remember how important it is to “follow bliss” in moments and do what I love in life.
Thank you!
The photos were great and a perfect reminder of a wonderful event! Thanks for putting everything together. We really had a great time meeting you and everyone that attended.
