About San Diego: The Gourmet Experience
Like I mentioned earlier this event will be held right here in San Diego on October 9-10, 2010 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds [even though you're not supposed to call it that anymore], the event features countless exhibitors showcasing and selling gourmet cuisine, products and services crafted for the everyday gourmand, "foodie" or just plain everyday folks who love a decent [well made] pile of chow on their plates. So after the preview-event is over I will be back on my keyboard to let you know the skinny, so stay tuned.
My Recommendation: As I said, last Tuesday I would get back here in time before you make your plans for the upcoming weekend. Which according to the weather report I looked at, should be bright, warm and sunny! Okay, so I went to the "Preview" event last Tuesday night fantastic and it was something everyone should definitely check out! Make sure you say "hello" to the great folks at Sip, Smoke and Savor if you like Cigars, Chocolate and Scotch [and who doesn't] and the food samples alone are going to hit your palate with a bomb of great flavors, definitely worth the price of admission. So there you have it, go check the Gourmet Experience this weekend and enjoy, cheers everyone!
