Recap of Stir It 28: Haiti Fundraiser In Los Angeles
What a wonderful feast we had at the Haiti Fundraiser on Sunday! There were plates and plates of delicious finger foods that were being passed around by our fellow food bloggers, as well as fancy cocktails being stirred up by Grey Goose and Natalie from The Liquid Muse. Chrystal Baker, our lovely hostess from The Duo Dishes, organized the event beautifully and Greg from Sippity Sup provided an amazing location for the party – a charming and lavish home in the Hollywood Hills.
We want to share with you some photos we took from the event so you can see all the hard work that everyone contributed to make this a successful fundraiser. To see full-sized images from other food bloggers, check out the Facebook photo album that Chrystal has put together.

The Grey Goose bar had some signature cocktails for us to enjoy - like the "Hearts for Haiti" and "Celery Delight."

Daniel passed around our Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Chipotle Mayo Sauce. It didn't last very long!

All in all, it was a stellar event and we had a great time eating, drinking, and most of all, mingling with our fellow food bloggers and guests. We didn’t get to chat with every single person there, but I’m sure there will be other foodie events in the future to meet again. Thank you for having us a part of this fantastic fundraiser! Cheers!
I have seen the photos circulating and jealous that New Jersey has nothing like this, or the support of bloggers!
Glad you have fun!
Party in the Hollywood Hills! Would have loved to have been there!
It was great meeting you at the event. I’m really glad that we were all able to help and participate. Hopefully we’ll have an LA meetup soon.
Krissy and Daniel your Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Chipotle Mayo Sauce totally ROCKED!!!! It was a fabulous evening and for such a great cause!!! Looking forward to future blogger events!
Love the recap! What a great event it turned out to be, so glad I was able to be a part of it. LA Foodies = Amazing group of people!
Looks like a great event! We had a nice turnout in Atlanta, too. Lots of great people and fabulous food! The AJC (newspaper) was supposed to run a piece, but I have yet to see it. If they do, I will post a link on my blog.
great recap to a great event… your dish was great and the only squeeze bottle action of the day!
Oh how wonderful! I’m glad that you were able to participate in such a great event!
Thanks for posting this! We had a blast here in LA, and our team really rocked it out. Big thanks to everyone, especially those who had the sense to take lots of pics.

I had a good time and it was great seeing you again. No flu for me, just tons of work stress that leaves me tired 24/7
Thanks so much for this great post-Post! STELLAR EVENT is an excellent description. The food was tremendous and getting to know more LA Food Bloggers was a bonus. Congrats to the organizers and I look forward to participating in more of such beneficial events. Our hearts go out to the victims of Haiti.
Wow, I loved looking through all these photos-sounds like it was a wonderful event! I am super jealous of those lemon bars-they look delicious! I may just have to make some this weekend
That was a lot of fun, and I’m glad I got 2 helpings of your bacon wrapped scallops. I knew it wouldn’t last long!
BTW, maybe we should all get together for dinner or something along with Tammy! Let me know!
