MN Food Bloggers : Corner Table

Posted by on Thursday, 17 March, 2011

On what felt like the 1st day of Spring in Minnesota, the MN Food Bloggers group had their 2nd meetup at the South Minneapolis restaurant owned by Scott Pampuch, Corner Table.

Corner Table is located in the King Field neighborhood of Minneapolis and has a wonderful feel to it when you step inside.

Stephanie Meyer, the organizer of the group, has many and wonderful connections with the Food Bloggers in Minnesota, and so getting a ticket to this event is a prized gift.  You get the opportunity to meet many talented people who cook in a variety of styles and complexities. Each with their unique take on cooking, and they are also very welcoming when you get to meet them for the first time in person.

To say that Scott Pampuch knows how to cook and put on a good spread of food is an understatement. You can tell when he talks about his work that he really has a passion for it.  His presentation shows that he genuinely loves what he does and takes care in doing so. Below is just a brief showing of what his talents are.

The group that assembled together all came because they are Food Bloggers, or at the very least, a foodie. They aren’t looking to talk about the latest prepackaged food product or brand, they want to hear and taste things fresh from the market, garden or farm.

The topic was food, but even here, the paparazzi where in full effect. Snapping up pictures of the various food offerings and the foodies in the flesh.

At the event, Scott shared a new offering that he is going to make available soon, it’s a CSK or Community Supported Kitchen service. It will allow people to get on a weekly basis, a box of foods that have been prepared for families of 2 or 4, which are quality farm foods for people in the metro area.

After the presentation was done, Scott invited all of the guest that were interested, to come into the Corner Table kitchen and cook up the contents of a CBK box.

Scott Pampuch, Corner Table and Stephanie Meyer all did a great job with the 2nd, in what hopes to be many, MN Food Blogger events.  If you are a foodie and enjoy lively discussions as well as taste testing a variety of quality food, make sure you get a ticket this wonderful event.
