The Local Palate Marketplace vendors are out and about this spring, showcasing their goods around the South, and here's who we've seen in the field at events.

In early March, the Local Palate team attended Charleston Wine + Food where we caught up with some of our Southern makers.

Brothers Quintin and Marcus Middleton of Middleton Made Knives led a guided knife skills class about preserving the longevity of our knives and how to effectively and safely wield the tool. From breaking down a chicken to prepping veggies, the Middletons demonstrated various applications of the knife as they assembled a chicken and red rice dish.

Over at Culinary Village we found more friends showcasing their tasty and unique wares and couldn’t help but choosing a few of our favorites:
