I love EAT Vancouver!
Let’s Eat [Vancouver] !
Each time I’ve been to EAT Vancouver I’ve encountered new exciting delicious things that are now in my kitchen! Nothing beats an edible tradeshow : ) See you there!
It’d be great to be able to go and see the chocolate competition!
I love it too! Eat, eat, eat!
Always a great festival! Yum!
So much to do…so little time. Always have enjoyed EAT and I hope to be enjoying it with you Cass!
I would love to win tickets to this festival!
I love EAT and all the nEAT things to discover! And I have a crush on Chuck from Chuck’s day off…so I must go:):)
Thanks for the info about the festival – noticed it in the Straight this week and it sounds awesome. I especially love that they have the Soup Nazi making a celebrity appearance. 🙂
as a foodie and eating my way around Vancouver, I’ve actually not been to Eat Vancouver. I think it’s about time I go and check out the event, the food, and the activities. I think it’s going to be extra special as it’ll be held at the gorgeous Vancouver Convention Center. So I hope I get to eat my way around the festival :p
Wow! I would love to check this show out!
Last year’s event was awesome, especially with the chef showdown… can’t wait to see what’s in store this year!
I have never been, so this would be awesome to win =) Let’s EAT!!
I look forward to this EVERY YEAR!!!!
What a fantastic idea. I’ve never been to one and really hope to take part this year! Sounds like a lot of delicious fun.
I have really enjoyed attending EAT! Vancouver in the past. The seminars/pavilions sound interesting .. maybe I will catch you & Nina there.
oh! my dad would love to go to EAT Vancouver, especially if we won them from his favorite website Good Life !!

I checked out eat a few years ago and would love to go again!
