Fabulous Food Show November 13-15, 2009

[PieSusan]

I usually attend The Fabulous Food Show at the Cleveland I-X Center. Every year there are different food tv chefs who come and local chefs and pastry chefs who also show off their expertise and food items. This past year they focused on "Ohio proud" products. I did a lot of my foodie Christmas shopping there.

" I did a lot of my foodie Christmas shopping there."

So, what were the goodies you got that are from Ohio?

It didn't show me anything. Oh well. Thanks.

It has a product menu, you click on an item and it will show you purveyors. It is a pretty cool site.

Also, I posted some places in this thread:

It would be a lot of fun if any of the Ohio foodies had a minimeet at this event. I did that in the past with people at another site. I know it is a long way off but it would be fun and you can keep it in the back of your mind. Or we can make reservations and eat at Lola's (Iron Chef Michael Symon's restaurant). I did that in the past, too.
