EPIC + EAT Vancouver May 2010
So one knows it is not wise to go grocery shopping on an empty stomach.
Well guess what we did on Saturday May 29th, 2010?
Nila and I tredged through the rain to the temporary relocation of EPIC and EAT Vancouver.
Normally EPIC is at the older Vancouver Convention Centre and EAT is under the BC Place Dome.
However this year, because of renovations at both locations,
the two festivals were conveniently located together under the new Vancouver Convention Centre.
My schedule in May was booked solid for every weekend, so Saturday was my only day to go out to check out these events.
This year I did not snap as many photos, as I was cramming myself with tonnes of samples, snacks and drinks at EAT Vancouver.

Next time if they are held together in the same weekend, I’ll try to do each one separately.
We only had under 40 minutes to check out EPIC as we were distracted by the massive food at EAT Vancouver.

From 2008 EAT! Vancouver
Last year I was so excited to come across the results of the two competitions at EAT! Vancouver.
B.C. Chefs’ Association chocolate competition and B.C. Chefs’ Association culinary salon cooking competition.
I was so amazed by the colours and detailing of the details of the chocolate, butter, and food preparation.

I guess I should have waited until the last day.
I went on Saturday May 23rd, to check out new products, do some sampling and enjoy the sites.
I forgot I went on a Sunday, where I got to see the results of the two different competitions.
We arrived later in the evening, and I couldn’t find the right area of the chocolate works.
It turned out that people were starting to eat off the results of the chocolate competition, so by the time I got to the area to take some photos, the majority of the entries were broken apart.

Oh well, there’s always next year.
I’m definitely going earlier on the last day.
