(The following is a special series on Bluejeanfoodcritic.com written by guest contributing writer William Knowles. He highlights his passions of of trying something new whenever the opportunity presents itself, or possibly something old, but new again since it has been a while. I hope you enjoy his very special perspective that I am sure many of you can relate to. Follow him on his exciting journey “Around Town”)
I had the good fortune to attend the Philadelphia Inquirer’s annual Travel & Culinary Expo on Sunday, February 21st. This year’s event was held at the Valley Forge Casino Resort, located right off the Schuylkill Expressway near the King of Prussia Mall.
The festival contained a wide variety of events and expos that are intended to entice you to try some new ideas and exotic locales while planning your travel. On site travel agencies enabled those interested in booking vacations right away the convenience of doing so. For those who are new to international travel, a passport station was on hand to provide detailed information on how to apply.
Themed food stations included New England based Cabot Cheese (tied into vacationing in Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York), Passanante’s Home Food Services, chain restaurants such as Bahama Breeze, Godshall’s Meats (with delicious turkey bacon fried on the spot), and some local favorites like Tony Luke’s and Fat Jack’s BBQ. 2 Chicks with Chocolate, previously featured in the Around Town segment, provided some fantastic desert.
