Sunny Saturday was spent in Santa Monica for the Artisanal LA Spring Show. After attending the Holiday Pop Up last year, we were quite excited for more of the yummy treats the show would provide. We were looking forward to visiting the bakers we love and sampling food by local artisans we had yet to discover.
The venue at Santa Monica Place was amazing. Bright and airy, full and spacious. There was a lot of tables and seating areas available, great music, and lots to experience. I loved the design of the event and signage. Also loved the energy!Vendors were great and below are a few of many that caught my eye.
Shortin' Bread's red booth was my favorite. Their short bread was equally delicious. Lisa & Mo showcased great, healthy treats. I Heart Pies had savory and sweet pies. I heart their peep pie! All Spice Cafe gave the hubs lots of sauces to try. He loved their ghost pepper sauce.
Embrace Sweets are the sweetest ladies. We met them at UniqueLA last December and their brownies are my fave. Brandt Beef had lots of great cuts. Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop's dressings are among my favorite things to add to a salad. Maestri Pasta makes heart shaped pasta, love!
We got to sample some yummy food, too! Cold cuts by Primi Al Mercado, macarons by L'Artisan du Chocolat, bread pudding by Creme Caramel LA, and acai lemonade personalized with our choice of fruit or herbs by Veev.
And we took home a lot of treats!
Thank you Artisanal LA for keeping our mouths smiling and our bellies full :)
