Taste Pavilion, and Book Signing, from Chef Tyler Florence!


As I mentioned in my previous post...here we are at the Taste Pavilion, on the second day, November 5th. at the Metreon! I happened to stop by the Alexia station to sample their delicious Sweet Potato Bites. Spicy, light and totally addictive.
Judy's Breadsticks lovesticks...all organic incredible, crispy, and so delicious!
These amazing breads are all organic, and vegan. I enjoyed the bread with cream cheese spread...had at least 3 pieces...yumm!
Lynda Najarian...Creative Director-Founder

Different kinds of fig dips featured...on the left, and right is pork tenderloin on skewers
Lettuce wraps, a huge favorite of mine...from ALASKA SURIMI SEAFOODS!
The famous Warren Pears...so sweet, and juicy!
Food tasting is not complete...unless you can have cupcakes with the creamiest swirled frosting!
I decided to check out the terrace, and of course...the VIEW!
I met some feathered friends, who were also checking out the view!
The BEST part was, Celebrity Chef, Tyler Florence...from the Food Network, signing his newest copy of his cookbook!...I missed out on getting a book...sigh!
Another magnificent view, from the terrace!...a cloudy, windy, and chilly day, but the photos turned out great!
Chef Tyler Florence came back to the Grand Hyatt Hotel where we were staying...just happened to catch him outside and asked if I could take his picture...he was ever so gracious, and said yes. He then asked me if I would like to have my picture taken with him...wow! I was not expecting that, from my all-time favorite celebrity chef from the Food Network! He is so, so creative, talented, and super laid back kind of person!
Patience is a VIRTUE...and patient, I was! I could not get through the crowd at the Book signing, to meet him in person, and unexpectedly I met him, afterwards. Later on, for the Gala Dinner, he gave us a fabulous cooking demo, that was equally laid back, and done with ease, and sheer casual, but with elegance, that only Chef Tyler Florence can do! Looks like I have more to show you of this unforgettable event!

    Oh, sounds like you had a ball! Your picture with Tyler Florence is just great! Too bad about the book, though. I love the looks of all that food but I love those lettuce wraps best. Can't wait to see more. One of these years, I've got to go!

    Hi Elisabeth! What a great write up on the foodbuzz festival. I think the best moment is you having a photo taken together with Chef Tyler Florence. Btw, thanks for highlighting to me on the linking back in my posts. Made me realised that it was not done right, and I have now gone back in and fix up the issue. I am still drafting my posts and can't wait to share with everyone on what else we did togehter. Take care my friend. Hugssss, Jo

    Csodás élményben volt részed, és általad, nekünk is. Személyesen megismerkedni neves séfekkel, mint Tyler Florence és még fotózkodni is :), szuper!
    Én is nagyon kedvelem a grissinit, a saját sütésű kenyereket, a körtét, nyersen vagy grillezve. Szívesen betérnék én is egy ilyen Taste Pavilonba"

    Csodálatos!! Csodálatos ez a sok finomság. Jó nagyokat nyelek, és sóvárogva nézem a képeket. Minden egytől-egyig egy ételköltemény.
    Gratulálok a híres séffel készült képhez. Nagyon jól néztek ki egymás mellett, csinos vagy. Sokkal nagyobb élményben lehetett így részed, mintha a könyve dedikálásán a közelébe kerültél volna.

    Továbbra is fantasztikus ételeket mutatsz nekünk, azok a kenyerek csodásak!
    Na és, hogy végül sikerült egy közös fotót készítenetek a séffel! Egy dedikált könyv semmi ehhez képest! ;)
