The Delicious Food Show

October 25, 2013 By Lena

I struggled to find an appropriate title for this blog post, but then I realized it’s probably best to keep it simple, as “The Delicious Food Show” really does speak for itself. Yes folks, there are delicious times ahead.

If you live in the Greater Toronto Area, good news! Your weekend just got a little more tasty.

“From the creators of the One of a Kind Show and the Interior Design Show comes the Delicious Food Show, returning for its sophomore year to the Better Living Centre in Toronto, Canada from October 25-27, 2013. The Delicious Food Show is an interactive consumer-based tradeshow showcasing the latest and hottest in food products, wine and spirits, restaurants and food equipment.

Mike Chalut will host The Food Network’s Celebrity Kitchen presented by The Home Depot Canada, upon which some of the world’s most notable culinary genii – including Martha Stewart, Michael Smith, Nadia G, Chuck Hughes, Lynn Crawford and David Rocco – will lead cooking demonstrations and entertaining presentations. This year’s show is solidifying itself as the food show of all food shows – get ready to sauté, sizzle and simmer the weekend away.”

As a woman who appreciates delicious food, I am thrilled to have received a media invitation on behalf of The Home Depot Canada. Today, I’ll be attending a press conference with Ms. Martha Stewart, touring the incredible show floor and of course, sampling the most delectable food from a host of exhibitors.

Special features at this year’s show include the Food Network’s Celebrity Kitchen presented by The Home Depot Canada; a fleet of Toronto’s mobile kitchens by sandwich rebel Fidel Gastro; Naturally Delicious, the best in all-natural, (oh-so-trendy) glutenfree, organic and free of additive and preservative items; Fiesta Delicioso presented by Avion Tequila on Friday, October 25, 2013 at 7pm – come for the tacos, stay for the margaritas!  Click here for a full list of show features.

So, it’s time to find my favourite stretchy pants – today will be spent feeding the mind, body and soul! I’m off to the Delicious Food Show. Have a great weekend all!

    Sometimes, just looking at the beautiful food presentations, yes, just Looking at them, is enough to satisfy my cravings for sweet, savoury, or otherwise tantalizing food.

    • Lena

      November 3, 2013 at 7:54 am

      I agree! It’s called enjoying the bouquet while resisting the wine :)

    I am becoming a foodie and really enjoy going to foodie events. Missed this one I am on the west coast. Great one happening in Whistler Cornucopia trying to get up there for that one.

    • Lena

      November 3, 2013 at 7:56 am

      I’d love to do a food show in Whistler!

    have you seen the food Martha Stewart has been tweeting some well most of it looks horrible. you need to teach her how to take a foodie picture.

    This was quite an enjoyable show for 2 reasons. I got a chance to meet many of the people I follow on Twitter, like Lena herself, and also to be there to witness the final battle in Abbey’s Kitchen Stadium.
