Posted Nov 07 2009 10:00pm

Totally heart Foodbuzz today :)

What an amazing event!! Foodbuzz has really rounded up the most amazing food vendors in the area. All gourmet and totally divine. My mouth has never been so happy!!

I was up early this morning being on East Coast time and all, but we were prepared for that. I read blogs and then met Tina, Shannon, Meghann, Sabrina, Britney, and Emily in the lobby for a morning run along the water! It was a glorious 5.26 (yes, 26!) miles of chitter chatter. We broke at the end of a pier for some mid-run photos

Before we left I munched on a Glo-bar. Wish Angela was here!

Once showered and dressed, we headed over to the Ferry Building for a morning playground. Total foodie and photography heaven!!!!

We waited in a long line for the infamous Blue Bottle Coffee. I got a Cafe au Lait.

Wasn’t sure what to have for breakfast, but I wanted something authentic and local. Tina ended up getting an Arborio Rice + Brandy bread that was out of this world good!!! I had two bites :)

We walked all around the farmer’s market and I had one bite of a bunch of delicious samples!

And then came to Noe Valley Bakery and decided a pumpkin scone was exactly what I wanted. It was AMAZING!! I shared with the group and probably had half to myself. And I can’t stop thinking about it!!
