Once again, Keren Brown (aka. Frantic Foodie) has put on another successful Seattle food networking event - the fourth such quarterly Foodportunity event, held at the lovely Palace Ballroom on the anniversary of the first Foodportunity event last year. It's a great place for foodies, writers, chefs, producers and restaurateurs to network, mingle, and sample good food and drink.
As usual, there were many participating restaurants and food producers, as well as guest chefs and food writers. Here are some photos showcasing a few of those who participated. I apologize in advance if I missed key folks, or didn't name someone. There were so many people there--it was huge! So, these are only the highlights, certainly not a comprehensive listing of Who's Who.
Enjoy!
