It’s only the first night of the blogger festival but it’s already apparent that the folks at Foodbuzz know how to show foodies a good time!
After arriving to the hotel, settling in and unpacking a few essentials I headed down to do some exploring. I ended up running into Sabrina, Meghann and Kath and decided to tag along with them for some sight seeing.
We ended up finding our way to a little fro yo shop that had pumpkin yogurt- yoCup.
Meghann, Sabrina, and I weren’t super hungry but couldn’t resist after having a sample. We got one cup of the pumpkin with graham crackers and spilt it 3 ways.
I’m pretty sure that yoCup needs to open up a shop in VA asap. It was some of the most delicious frozen yogurt I’ve had! After the little snack we headed back to the hotel to get ready for the welcome reception/ cocktail party on the 8th floor terrace of the hotel.
The view was awesome.
I couldn’t decide what to order to drink but ended up having the Untouchable Pale Ale.
It was a winner.

After chatting it up with a bunch of food bloggers I headed to the Taste of SF Street Food Fare.
Here’s what was on the menu for the evening.
By this point I was STARVING. I headed straight past the alcohol, cupcakes, and ice cream to a booth with REAL food from Tacolicious.
I had the black-eyed pea taco:
The black eyed peas, onion, cilantro and jalopeno mix was so tasty. I don’t know thought to put black eyed peas into a taco, but they are a genius.
After the amazing taco the food just kept coming. I had a Zucchini & Mushroom Pie from The Pie Truck
ALIVE organic, raw, vegan cuisine.
Two different flatbreads with cashew cream, tomato and basil- the one with avocado blew me away.
So very tasty.
A beet and blue cheese salad from Spencer on The Go.
A slice of a thin and crispy pizza from Pizza Politana
To top everything off I finished with a mini almond cupcake from Mission Minis. 
After all that delicious street fare I was stuffed! I hung around and chatted it up with some familiar (and not so familiar bloggers).
Brandi and I decided to call it a night and head back to the hotel together.
Tonight was a blast. I can’t wait to see what Foodbuzz has in store for tomorrow!
I’m off to rest up for tomorrow. Much thanks to the folks at Nature’s Pride for hooking me up with my sweet room at Hotel Vitale.
Here’s my living room for the next couple of days

And the snack bar! I love the options they have (hello pop chips and luna bars) but not the prices. $4 bucks for a Luna bar is a bit steep. I think I’ll just eat the snacks I brought and leave those be.
I’ll be back with more buzz tomorrow!!
