Day 2 in Philadelphia was day 1 of the conference.  I learned a lot at the NATOA annual conference.

After the conference finished for the day, we did have to find something to eat so Gail, Connie and I secured reservations at Barbuzzo and enjoyed our early dinner!

Grilled Spanish Octopus — cantimpalo chorizo, fingerlings, cucumber, taggiasca roasted peppers, white bean puree, herb

Maccellaio Pizza — san marzano, fior di liatte, chorizo cantimpali, calabrian sausage, hot coppa, basil, tarragon-sesame pesto

Tonnarelli Nero — seared shrimp, calabrian chile, capers, cherry tomjatoes, uni butter, pangrattato

We shared everything family style so that we could taste everything that came to the table. 

After dinner, we joined the rest of the group for a little bit of karaoke in Philly before heading back to the hotel, doing some work and getting ready for the next day!
