I know a place . . . The Auckland Food Show

Food travel has become one of the hottest trends in recent years. You currently can’t sign up for a food tour of Beijing, or learn how to make pasta under a Tuscan sun, but what you can do is follow your nose to The Auckland Food Show (July 29-August 1), which brings international cuisine to you.

With more than 250 exhibitors, there’s everything from niche food to craft beer, and stars such as Josh Emett, Ganesh Raj and Michael Van de Elzen. Put on your best stretchy pants and show your belly a good time at the ASB Showgrounds.
