Even with all that activity, Taste Washington is the kind of event you really should bring a friend with, because it’s so much more fun to talk about the food than it is to just sit and eat. Oh, you’re still going to have a delicious time, but sitting and chatting about that awesome burger from Relish is better to me than eating it and rushing to the next booth.
Taste Washington continues to be an amazing chance to learn a lot about the Seattle food and wine culture in two days. I’m so excited to see where they’ll go next year.
