The 2010 Fabulous Food Show

The 2010 Fabulous Food Show in Cleveland was again - fabulous!

Tens of thousands of people visited the IX Center Nov 12-14, 2010 to sample new foods and beverages, learn cooking techniques and see their favorite Food Network stars. Busloads of people from Buffalo, Chicago and other cities mixed with happy food adventurers from the Cleveland area.

For many, the highlight of the show was the appearance of their favorite celebrity chefs. After their demonstrations, the Chefs appeared in the Autograph Pavilion to sign books and take pictures.

One thing that was different about this year's show was the great interest that was paid to the Cleveland Browns game which was shown in several booths. Cheers and moans could be heard throughout the hall and when the overtime game ended badly, the crowd quickly dispersed and went back to their food interest.

ClevelandWomen.com exhibited at the show and gave away thousands of dollars worth of spices and seasonings from ACH Foods (Durkees, Tone Brothers, French's Dec-A-Cake and others) to attendees.

The 3rd in the Cleveland Cooks cookbook series was introduced at the show. This volume features ethnic recipes from Cleveland. Cleveland is home to over 100 different ethnic groups and many of the best recipes are included in this 250 page volume. Learn more and Order here.
