Our kickoff Gobble Up show in 2017 was a huge hit, and we are excited to bring this new specialty food show to Seattle in 2018. This specialty food show will be geared to both everyday customers, as well as to restaurants, chefs, and other professionals in the industry. It is exciting to us that so many people have made craft food their full time business, and we want to connect these makers with restaurant owners and chefs, as well as everyday consumers. By dedicating an entire show just to these special crafty folks, we’ll be able to get so many more of their products in front of the food lovers who want to find them!
