The Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show

The 2008 Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show in Washington, D.C. featured more than 200 companies ranging from specialty food companies, caterers, stationers and party planners to kitchen planners, personal chefs, and appliance manufacturers. Additionally, the show featured numerous cooking workshops as well as local chef cooking competitions.

The most anticipated part of the show had to be two of the special guest stars: Paula Deen and Bobby Flay. Both Paula and Bobby were featured at the Land O’ Lakes Celebrity Theater at which they prepared several dishes for the crowd.
