The event will take place at the Lexington Center and Rupp Arena October 2-3 and will include a host of chefs demonstrating their cooking techniques, seminars and workshops, along with more than 100 exhibitors including cookbook authors, Kentucky Proud producers and growers, specialty food companies, cooking-related equipment and product retailers.

Celebrity chef Bobby Flay will highlight the show with two live performances. Flay, the owner of several restaurants, host of Food Network's "Boy Meets Grill" and "Throwdown with Bobby Flay," and author of many cookbooks, is no stranger to Kentucky. For the last two years, he has been the official host and spokesman of the Kentucky Derby Party program and Web site, and has become a regular at the Derby.
