The follow-up buzz from Manhattan Beach Food & Wine makes me want more festivals that put the makers front and center — not just the chefs, but the olive oil people, bakers, winemakers, and small beverage brands doing the quiet craft work. The best bites at these things are usually the ones you can picture recreating at home the next weekend with a good loaf of bread and a cold glass of something local.
