Testimonials
"It's an exciting weekend, and the opportunity to meet top people in the business is something you probably won't get elsewhere. It's like going to an all-star game and being a part of it rather than sitting in the stands and observing."
Allen Pfenninger
"I will definitely return, probably every year, now that I know how upscale this event is. You did a great job."
Nikki Norman
"I am happy to pay the ticket price to gain tangible access to such an expansive list of culinary luminaries."
Deborah Szajngarten
"It was fantastic, and every year I think, ok, I'm done. But then I go back, and I love it. You guys come up with new and surprising things, and it all feels fresh! Keep up the good work. I'll be back!"
Tracey Aberman
"The opportunity to meet and have demonstrations by the chefs and speakers is worth every penny."
Catherine Berggren
"If you're a chef, or a concerned eater (and increasingly, there are a lot more of you out there), The Gourmet Institute provides a delicious forum for learning. Whether through cooking demonstrations or panel discussions, it's a place for us to share stories about the food on our plates."

"The Gourmet Institute is an entirely unique event that truly allows you to go behind the scenes of the magazine. As a participant since its inception I think I have enjoyed getting the insider's look just as much as the attendees."
