Another Monday, another industry night like no other.

“IN,” hosted by Feed Your Soul’s Christa Glennie Seychew, is an industry night open to the public with a focus on certain specialties and unique offerings from week to week.  Attendees will get a chance to hang out and meet with industry people including foodies, chefs, bloggers and other food lovers.

This 21+ event is held in the contemporary room at Sea Bar and features free tastings, special guest appearances and friendly competitions.This week’s featured item is maple—highlighting the area as a top producer of the delightfully delicious and savory treat.

All samples are free (but limited) so arrive early for a chance to try all that’s offered. Here is what’s in store for the next “IN,” to be held from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. on Monday, March 4. All descriptions are from the “IN” Facebook event page.
