Flavor Forays

Stir the pots. Meet the characters. Listen to the stories. Flavor Forays plans, organizes, and executes extraordinary culinary adventures that bring together the top leaders in the restaurant and hotel industry and suppliers for immersive, unforgettable experiences in food meccas all over the globe. Our goals are education, inspiration, and appreciation of culinary cultures.

The premise of these conferences without classrooms is to create new relationships and enhance existing ones between the kingpins of the restaurant and hotel world while jointly experiencing unique regional cultures and flavors.

Industry conferences, while interesting, can’t compete with getting out of the classroom and meeting the farmers, the fishermen, the winemakers, and the producers who make these food cultures unique. Food Arts magazine’s closing become the impetus for us to continue our relationship with our readers and sponsors at live events that connect attendees to these artisans. Thus Flavor Forays was born.

Flavor Forays of the future: We’re exploring the possibility of future Flavor Forays to Brooklyn, New York, Portland, Oregon, Nashville, Tennessee and more—they’re secrets for now. (Who’s up for a truffle hunt in Italy?). We’ll keep you posted.
