The four-day food festival may be known for being a bit more affordable than its counterparts. But it’s still a dizzying array of stalls. Add to that the daily-changing special programs and masterclasses, and you need thorough planning and recon. Luckily, we’ve done the work for you. Here’s an essential to-do list of what to tackle day by day.
Thurs, Mar 26
- Don’t forget to take a trip the Cheese Room, making its debut this year, with a dedicated truffle cheese section.
- Not too many special events on the first day, but do schedule in a session with Jean-Phillipe Patruno of Una (9pm). He’s hosting a masterclass all about his signature Spanish dishes.
Fri, Mar 27
