Mystery Meet #2 – Myers+Chang
I first heard about Mystery Meet in Delicious Dishings. The concept is simple. 20 foodies and bloggers meet at a restaurant for a meal. They don’t find out the location of the meal until the day before it happens. This was only the second Mystery Meet so some of the details are still being ironed out. Even so, I had a blast meeting some new bloggers and Bostonians who love food as much as I do.
We were given hints ahead of time as to the location of the Mystery Meet. Joyce guessed correctly that we’d be at Myers+Chang. She was also at the very interesting frozen entree event that I went to at Myers+Chang and I know I was excited to get to try an entire meal from the restaurant.
I didn’t take many pictures that night because I was just having too much fun. A lot of the food was the same as what I had tried previously. Everything was extremely delicious and fresh. It was all served family style so you could have more of the things you liked and skip on the things that were too spicy for you (I’m a wimp when it comes to spice). We even got to try an assortment of desserts at the end of the night. The meal was $36 not including tax, tip, and drinks. I had a lot of fun and definitely look forward to doing this again!
If you are interested in learning more about Mystery Meet, check them out on Facebook, twitter, or their website. Tickets went very quickly for this event, but have no fear, next month they’re going to have 30 Boston foodies at Mystery Meet. Some of the people I met last night include Joyce from Boston Chomper, David, the owner of Boston Chocolate Tours and his daughter Sam, Bianca from Confessions of a Chocoholic, Cynthia from Wicked Tasty Harvest, Emily from Angry Little Chemist, and Daisy from Indulge Inspire Imbibe.
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Interesting to know those things really happen! So what was your official feedback, and had everyone been raving about the food before the announcement? Hubby and I have eaten the Wanchai Ferry Sweet & Sour Chicken and weren’t thrilled with it (tasted very sweet and goopy, just overall processed). I guess it’s all psychological!
Hahahaha that’s so funny that they did a little switch on you. Like you pointed out, I guess that is how they did the Pizza Hut commercials.
I think you did a great, fair recap of the event. It was at least really nice to run into you there! And you got some great pictures.
Sarah – I updated my post to include more feedback. As I mentioned, we were discussing how the first two courses were much better than the entrees. At least at our table, there was no raving.
I’m glad you had fun, although I’m a bit perplexed that they thought they could fool foodies with a frozen dinner! I still haven’t been to Flour and really need to go – I feel like I’m a bad Boston blogger!
I agree Kerstin, most food bloggers probably don’t eat many frozen entrees… But it definitely wasn’t all food bloggers.
I heard about this event from Megan and it sounds interesting to say the least. It just seems like GM didn’t do their research because that is not similar to Myers + Chang’s food! Either way, at least you had fun with some other food bloggers!
