This event was not worth the $$$.
I was expecting something similar to Ottawa's Wine and Food show, and was very disappointed. When I moved here I searched for a similar event, its one of the things I missed about Ottawa, so I had this in my calendar for months.
The quality of the vendors food was subpar, basically cheap ethnic fast food I could get anywhere for about the same price. At the Ottawa show the vendors have seats at their booths and serve amazing food, albeit for a higher price. This event would be better with more local restaurants participating and serving small tastes of their menus.
I cannot believe there was an entire row of non-food vendors. Its a food show, not a travel show!
The only fun part was the alcohol section, yet after 4 laps and trying every booze vendor we left. We had a lot of tickets, figured we'd get drunk since the event was a bust. This event would be better if the alcohol section was 2-3 times bigger and featured more BC wineries.
I did manage to eat 9 galub jamons! mmmmm where can I get these in Vancouver (I live in Kits) without having to sit and eat at a restaurant?
