I'm in for Boston. "lastnightsdinner" is in Providence, perhaps we could convince her to join a Boston potluck? Anyone else out there Boston based?

Hey, everybody, one important detail about the Bay Area gathering has somehow been overlooked. One participant, Amber Olson, drove all the way down from Mendocino and stayed in a hotel that night, so that she could attend! (That's roughly equivalent to driving from Baltimore to New York City.) Talk about dedication and enthusiasm. These gatherings are amazing -- both for the food (as one would expect) and for the camaraderie! ;o)

Both gatherings look so beautiful! How wonderful to meet other Food 52 enthusiasts. I am keeping my fingers crossed that one materializes in the Midwest.

Both potlucks looked great! Anybody in LA jumping on board? Please let me know. I can spread the word pretty quickly if need be.

How cool! I am so flattered to see the Chocolate Bundt Cake made the rounds in DC, too. Looking for to NYC!

Where can I get the recipe for the pork roast prepared by Porktopurslane? It is not listed on her web site. Thanks Tom

Tom,
I took 8# of boneless, skin-on pork shoulder, scored the skin, and marinated it for 48 hours in an herb paste of sea salt (which acts to 'brine' to pork), fresh garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, lemon zest, toasted + ground fennel seed, dried chile de arbol, and black pepper (pounded it all together in a mortar + pestle and combined with a little EVOO). After marinating, I let the shoulder sit out for 1 hour while the oven preheated to 450 F. Roasted shoulder in a roasting pan on a rack for 30 min at 450 (helps to crisp/caramelize the skin). Turned the oven down to 240 F, added a cup of water to the roasted pan, and let the pork cook slowly for 18 hours. Yes, 18 hours. Re-crisp the skin at 450 or under a broiler before serving the pork.
Hope this helps Tom!

It was absolutely amazingly great! Maybe the best pork shoulder I've had. Ever. Thanks for posting the recipe. I'm definitely making it.

Sounds like you had fun.
Too bad I am busy these days, but had time freeing up, I would have worked on a canadian extension of your community. Canadians are big on food, so it should not have been an issue to gather people in big canadian cities. Just for the love of food. For now, congrats for those potluck dinners. Great way to gather around our passion for food.

You are so lucky to all have gotten together! It's awfully lonely here in San Diego...I have plenty of friends who like to eat my food but just don't "get" the food52 experience. Thanks for sharing the great photos.
