AZCentral is taking over Salt River Fields again. The Food & Wine Experience is back, and this year it’s bringing together an impressive amount local culinary talent, and internationally-known culinary superstars. Our own Chris Collins will be heading out to join in on the food-centric spectacle. Here’s six things to know before you go.
Seeing Stars
Last year’s event saw celebrity chef, author, restaurateur and host of ABC’s “The Chew,” Mario Batali, and now local chef, Scott Conant, who’s also an author and judge on Food Network’s “Chopped.”
This year, festival attendees have the chance to meet Martha Stewart. That’s right, the Emmy award-winning television show host and best-selling author is coming to Scottsdale.
Martha Stewart Experience
Martha will be sharing her culinary knowledge live at the Martha Stewart Experience, where guests can have a rare “up-close” experience with the lifestyle leader. Although the experience will require a special ticket, it’s well worth it, as it includes wine tasting, a Martha-curated gift package, book signing, two complimentary bottles of wine, access to the VIP Grand Tasting and much more.
