There are many reasons we will never resist the chance to visit Las Vegas. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, and we are hoping the calories do as well. The Great American Foodie Festival is one of the largest and most celebrated food centric festivals on the West Coast. They do things a little differently here. Instead of relying solely on the pool of incredible local talent, they also bring in chefs from across the country, making this a celebration of some of the nation's biggest and brightest culinary talents. In addition to over 50 of the country's best food trucks, there are demonstrations led by celebrity chefs, a beer garden, carnival style games and rides, and an eating contest — because, America! The cuisine is diverse — from Southern comfort cuisine to the eclectic flavors of the West Coast— so there's something for every taste bud at this truly not to be missed annual event.
