Celebrity chefs and the people who love them gathered this past weekend for the 34th annual Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. The festival went off without a visible hitch as hundreds of purveyors and tasters gathered in the tall white tents, a set up that mimicked the towering mountains behind the scene.
Top talent such as Marcus Samuelsson, Andrew Zimmern, Anne Burrell and Richard Blais hosted demonstrations in the tents, while skilled sommeliers from around the country poured glass after glass of amazing wines. It's safe to say none went hungry or thirsty during these three days of extravagant excess. Photos by Linnea Covington.
