I started this blog almost three years ago. I started it as a way, basically, to explore my passion and to live closer to food. When I wrote my first post I never dreamed of the places it would take me, or of the amazing people I would meet along the way. I am constantly astounded by some of the incredible food bloggers, all over the country, but especially here in Boston. Tonight launched the Boston Food Bloggers website, a site which brings together all of us who have found writing as the outlet for our passion.
It was an incredible evening in which 100+ bloggers gathered at The Gallows in Boston's South End. I stole some bites of food as they passed by, and each that I tasted were delicious, however it wasn't the food that stole the show this evening. It was the amazing people who crammed into the restaurant who upstaged it all. The group of people that were gathered this evening just remind me of an incredible journey that we've all started on.
Every person in that room comes from a different background, but we are all bonded through the love of food. It continuously amazes me how much passion we all have for culinary pursuits, despite where our past has been. I love that I can walk away from an evening among such a wonderful community with a renewed love of the blog world and full of inspiration from my fellow bloggers.
Rachel, you did an amazing job organizing with Christine from Urbanspoon.
I am so pleased to be a member of such a group of fantastic people!

It was an amazing night! So excited to meet so many great Boston bloggers! Thanks again to BFB, Urbanspoon & The Gallows for hosting!
Nice to see you there! You're so fast... I just drafted my post, but it won't be ready for a couple days!
Can't believe I was out of town for this (no more events on long weekends hehe)! Glad it was fun & hope there are more bloggie events in the near future!
I heard it was wonderful! So sorry I couldn't be there!
Bravo! Well said! It truly was a heart (and stomach) warming event! What a fun night!
beautifully stated :) I'm sorry we didn't get to chat last night!!
Very well stated! Had a lot of fun last night catching up with everyone.
Too bad I was out of town and missed this! Hope to meet you at some other event!
Emotions running high! It's almost impossible to capture the amount of energy, camaraderie and conspiracy (the best kind) from last night's blogger party -- but you pretty much nailed it. Thanks so much for coming, and can't wait to see you at another Boston excursion. Cheers, Christine
Enjoying all the feedback from this event. Had tix but could not make it. Look forward to meeting up at future events.
The Souper
So true! It's hard to put into words what it felt like to be in a room full of amazing food bloggers. We are so lucky to have such a large, friendly foodie scene!
Such a fantastic night! Rachel really outdid everyone's expectations I think!
I have to say that this is the best "recap" of the evening yet, because it is exactly what I would have written! It was so great to finally meet you!
