New England Dessert Showcase
I was there! I just wanted to chime in since everyone is asking for reviews. It didn't have quite as many exhibitors as I would have thought but it was a great time overall. It sounds like everyone else who went thinks the same thing. It had a nice balance of trade-show-ish aspects and then a huge public side. Lots of food, lots of Grey Goose. I agree with whoever said it above that giving $ to the local biz is better. The event did a real nice job with that.
They had a nice balance of bigger companies and then smaller companies, especially those micro ventures. (fyi, sponsor, the Cholive is a huge company and from my real job in sales, Grey Goose spend serious cash too). Personally, my favorite was the number of events you got (two the night before, two after and the showcase) but moreso, the live demos were the best. Nicole Coady did a bang up job on her demo. That alone was worth admission to see a chef that renown do her thing. I hope its back next year. It was well done.
