Fantastic Food Fest is the largest food and beverage event in Indiana. Foodies flocked to this year’s popular event Jan. 22 to meet celebrity chefs which included Food Network’s Chef Alex Guarnaschelli, Loreal Gavin a.k.a “The Butcher Babe,” and local favorite chefs Steven Oakley, Susanne Grier, Sabrina Richard, and Chef Tyler Herald. More than 10,000 culinary enthusiasts enjoyed cooking demos, tastings, workshops, book signings and checking out over 200 fine food and beverage exhibitors. The best part of the day was when Chef Alex Guarnaschelli said she was happy that she finally found Where’s Amy and presented me with a signed copy of her cookbook “Old-School Comfort Food.”
