2016 American Made Summit Food
Year after year, our specialty purveyors offer their time and talents - creating intriguing, inventive, delicious, and portable foods for our Martha Stewart American Made Summit.
It’s important to me that we always offer attendees tasty and satisfying meals for breakfast, lunch and the various breaks. All our foods and snacks are prepared using all-natural wholesome ingredients. I want to thank Chef Pierre Schaedelin and PS Tailored Events for creating the delicious lunch for our VIP ticketed guests. Thank you to Honoree, Sweetgreen for providing their wonderful selection of salads. And, thanks to everyone on our American Made team who worked tirelessly to plan and oversee all the event details.
We closed this year’s symposium with a party sponsored by MailChimp, featuring some of our favorite New York City neighborhood vendors. We all enjoyed sampling the many dishes and ingredients! It was a spectacular day for all. Enjoy these last photos.
