Who knew a food expo could be so much fun!
No better way to spend a Saturday than tasting wine, sampling food and buying a trolly worth of "show bags" filled with all kinds of products to take home.
I went with a couple of the relo girls, Georgia (Toronto) and Claudia (Germany), and actually thought when we started it was just a wine tasting. Literally half of the expo was dedicated to wine and I now know why the peeps I met up with on Friday night who had spent the day at the show were so wrecked!
It was not just a drinking event, but there were also many food demonstrations by top area chefs like Gary Mehigan and George Calombaris, and actually cooking classes like cupcake decorating and home barista skills.
A promo for the show stated "it will be like the biggest gourmet deli, most fascinating kitchen shops and award winning cellar doors – all under one roof!" and it absolutely was that--fresh fish, meats and produce, chocolates, spices, and small kitchen appliances. You could have filled your pantry, decorated and designed your kitchen and even drove away in a brand new Ford to be auctioned off (I guess I didn't win that)!
All I have to say for you peeps back home is if the food show in town is anything like this, I/we have totally been missing out.
