National Food Festivals and Food Events, March 16-23, 2010

by POPSUGAR Food 0

The biggest St. Patrick's Day weekend celebrations have passed, but Spring has reared its head, and the festivities will go on. Whether it's celebrating the Persian new year or learning how to pour the perfect Sidecar, there's something happening on your side of town. Ever since last year's Top Chef challenge, we've been waiting for chef Charlie Palmer's Pigs & Pinot, which starts Friday. On Saturday, we'll head over to the Chocolate Salon to gorge on a collection of the most exciting chocolates in the country.
