You've probably heard about the famous Patchwork Show that showcases modern handmade goods by local emerging artists, crafters and designers. As its name implies, Patchwork Edible Edition - set for October 5 and 6 at SOCO in Costa Mesa, is the food version of the concept, bringing together visionary chefs, food authors, bloggers, handmade culinary craft vendors and food artisans - along with the you, the foodie public, for two days of eating, learning, tasting, and food shopping events from 11am to 8pm each day.
Specifically, the two-day event will showcase the flourishing artisan food movement in SoCal through an interactive weekend filled with baking programs, food trucks, restaurant pop-ups, book signings, beer and wine gardens, samples and more!
