You’ll find offerings from Martha Stewart, Rocco DiSpirito, Ming Tsai, Tony Abou-Ganim, Alicia Silverstone (Yes, the one from Clueless), Paula Dean, Guy Fieri, Frank Bruni, Anthony Bourdain. Bobby Flay, Gabriel Kreuther, Alton Brown, Rachael Ray, Giada De Laurentis, Tyler Florence and many others.
I will be attending, so you can do so vicariously through my upcoming TidBite postings. Stay tuned.
Is the festival website blocked? I have been trying to access all day today to see what is still available and i still get a “Cannot display the website” message on my Internet Explorer–any ideas? Thanks
I just contacted the people at the festival to let them know there’s a problem with their site.
I suggest trying later — or tomorrow.
thank you–were you able to access the site?
I just heard from the PR person who handles the festival — that the site is up again and working! So you should be able to access it now.
