"It is a traveling food and beverage event," she said. "This is our first time to Philadelphia but we've been doing this for about 4 years and we have about 12 (events) per year."

This event is clearly popular as the event is expecting about 1300 people, and among those in attendance was Mike from Northeast Philadelphia.

"There's a lot of different bacon things that I didn't think I'd see here," he said. "Like the waffles, the mac and cheese bacon thing, that's pretty cool, then they had some burgers and chicken. It's not just bacon, it's a lot of different things so it's pretty cool."
