SORTEDfood Dinner Party!

On Monday, I attended the most unique dinner party of my life!  The Food Bloggers of Los Angeles hosted the talented and hilarious guys of SORTEDfood as they make their way across America on their #LostAndHungry tour!

I almost, almost submitted some of my recipes from Vintage Zest, but you know that I like to stay behind the camera.

Jamie, Ben, Barry, and Mike may have been lost, but they were definitely not hungry after their dinner with us in L.A.!  Here are a few behind-the-scenes snaps of the night.  đź™‚

Too many cooks in the kitchen?  Nah.  Half of us were documenting the process on social media!  I tweeted and Instagram-ed my fingers off.  đź™‚

A few of the guys paired up with our lovely food blog members, like Jamie here with Emily!

Kelly’s ingredients were beautiful even during the prep.

We had all kinds of dishes, like this Greek-inspired shrimp one from The Duo Dishes!

This is all how we bake right?  An open bottle of port and a recipe on our phones?  Count me guilty!

Speaking of phones, there was plenty of selfie time as well, of course.  đź™‚

By the end of our whirlwind cook session, there was a beautiful spread of dishes.

Of course, we all had to document it.  The boys brought out their big guns.  đź™‚

And remember that cake?  We certainly didn’t forget!  đź™‚

Lastly, what I like to call the “antisocial media” moments after dinner.  đź™‚  Hey, I’m guilty of it too!

For once, I didn’t feel the need to obsessively document the meal!  However, you can check out some of my Instagrams below on both Vintage Zest and The Episodic Eater.
