Ask and ye MAY receive! At this months Austin Food Blogger Alliance Board meeting, Megan, our membership chair and blogger at Stetted, asked me to share a list of all of the folks who participated in the Austin to Boston Food Swap. I’m keeping a tally of all the bloggers who write about the #atxbos experience here, but thought the complete list deserved its own space.
