Delray Beach Garlic Fest~ Feb 2013

My first time attending the Garlic Fest here in Delray Beach which took place  at the Delray Beach Center for the Arts at the Old School Square. I have been living in South Florida for over 8 years. I have heard about this festival for  so many times from friends and clients. This Year is different this year my good friend just happened the MC of the 3 day event... Chef Michael Gelitto, an amazing chef opened a few doors and introduced me the powers that be @ the Garlic Fest. The foods the chefs, the judges and all the people that came truly made this an a event a real special weekend.
