NOWFE grand tasting, what to expect?

I went about five or six years ago, greatly anticipating the event because I consider myself a foodie and love to eat in restaurants of all types and price ranges.

That said, I left the event very disappointed in both what was available to sample and the way the entire event was set up.

Not meaning to kill your anticipation, but I was not impressed for what I paid. That said, here's hoping it's much better now and you have an enjoyable time!
