Cooking Day

I went to the Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show today. I'll admit, I bought my ticket through Groupon because I wasn't sure it would be worth it, but it was pretty awesome. Tons of vendors had food samples, so I ate all day. (Salsa, wing sauce and barbecue sauce seemed to be the most popular foods for sale/tasting.)

My ticket included a chance to see a presentation by Paula Deen. I'm not in love with her, but I thought it would be cool nonetheless. She was pretty entertaining. However, the whole show was just her talking to the audience. She had a chef cooking in the background, and every once in a while, she would ask him how it was going. But I was hoping to see more cooking and pick up some tips. I did see some nice cooking demonstrations on the free stages, though.

I'd definitely go next year!
