In the April 2010 issue of Martha Stewart Living, you may have noticed a snazzy spread all about some foodie movers and shakers. We here at MSLO have deemed this rogue bunch "The Tastemakers." Who are they, exactly? They're culinary artisans-- people who are putting modern spins on traditional foods, like beer, cheese, bread and meat. To celebrate these innovators, Martha Stewart HQ recently held a "Tastemakers" event. All of those featured in the article were represented, doing what they do best-- dazzling the crowd with their delicious food.
I was there with my microphone in hand-- take a listen!

Valuable information. Fortunate me I found your website by accident, and I'm surprised why this twist of fate didn't happened earlier! I bookmarked it.
