Last week at the Smart Kitchen Summit, fifteen startups reinventing the future of food and cooking came to Seattle to show off what they are working on.

Not only did company founders get on the main stage to compete in a timed three minute pitch session, but they also showed off their technology in the grand lobby of Benaroya Hall as part of our Startup Showcase happy hour event.

I had a blast walking around and talking to the founders as I tasted beer from a home beer fermentation appliance, munched on 3D printed popsicles and watched robots make crepes. I want to thank every startup that came to Seattle. It took lots of hard work and effort to participate in the Smart Kitchen Summit and we here at the Spoon and Smart Kitchen Summit appreciate it.

Below is a slide show with some of my favorite pics from the day.
