One by one, the tents are disappearing as folks break FOO (Friends Of O'Reilly) Camp -- a weekend social experiment -- here in Sebastopol, CA. It's been an experience like no other, far exceeding any expectations I might have had. The key ingredient was the lack of a recipe. O'Reilly simply provided the kitchen, then invited 200 cooks to hack in the kitchen by tasting concoctions, sharing culinary skills, and collaborating on scrumptious new dishes. The result was a bountiful feast that certainly can't be mass produced. Indeed, all other conferences may feel like chain restaurants after this. As Emril would say: Bam!
