\"levis\"<\/a>This inauguration Bite Silicon Valley 2015 wasn\u2019t only for foodies + techies get together, but also for a great cause, supporting two outstanding organizations in the Bay Area.<\/p>\n

Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties (SHFB) is the trusted leader dedicated to ending local hunger in Silicon Valley. And the 49ers Foundation mission is to ‘Keep Kids Safe, on Track and in School.’<\/p>\n

The two days Grand Tasting fill with food, wines, cocktails at the state of the art Levi\u2019s Stadium, the home of the 49ers. There was \"food_bite_silicon_valley\"<\/a>more than 60 chefs, 30 wineries, liquor, beer, sake, and more; all come together to showcase a dynamic weekend of exceptional bites, cooking demos, and chef collaborations. Bite SV featured the industry\u2019s leading technology experts and celebrity chefs such as including Jos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s, Michael Chiarello, Roy Choi, Dominique Crenn, Michael Mina, and Michael Voltaggio. And it\u2019s in the heart of Silicon Valley at the newest and beautiful stadium, the host of Super Bowl 50, and the first professional football stadium to have achieved LEED Gold certification. Levi’s\u00ae Stadium is predicted \"Bite<\/a>to be the first Californian pro sports venue to achieve net zero energy performance. There\u2019s no place better to host Bite SV than here.<\/p>\n

The two days Grand Tasting with over 700 guests for the first year. The two afternoons that you can get up close and personal with celebrity chefs for the first hour or so, it\u2019s best if you get the VIP ticket so that you can attend the wine seminars. You got to meet your favorites, TV celebrities, Master Top Chefs, you name it, they were there to greet and hand you food. There was no line on both days. There were plenty of food and drinks, floating all day, except a few stations the dishes were gone after 2.5 hours. There is no place else can do a grander epicurean event for foodies + tech together like Bite Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n

The best part of the Grand Tasting was that no food gone to waste. \"Bite<\/a>The excellent company Feeding Forward made sure all food leftover was to deliver to feed the less fortunate.
