One of the best parts of food blogging is getting to know other food bloggers- it's always fun to find people who share a common interest, and better yet, one that's easy to come together as strangers and meet over.  We recently attended an event featuring Michael Natkin, food blogger and newly published cookbook author, to meet and mingle with other local food bloggers (and Michael himself!).  The center of the event was his new book,...
