Chef Paul Gelose
As Think Tasty has been conducting polls seeking the best restaurants in regions across the USA, we have discovered many exciting and interesting restaurants and chefs.

As the expo becomes filled, you still can sample and chat, but it’s louder and pretty crowded. So, this year we tried a different strategy.
