Food Fête was founded in 2004 by Jeff Davis, a veteran public relations and marketing executive whose background includes senior positions at PR agencies in addition to running his own boutique technology PR firm in San Francisco.

In 2003, Jeff tested his culinary skills at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. And while Jeff's not ashamed to admit he's a culinary school dropout, that experience became the catalyst that launched a new business combining his PR know-how with his lifelong culinary passions.

In a few short years, Jeff has grown Food Fête into one of the gourmet food industry's most highly-regarded events that brings food companies together with the food press. Not only does he spend a lot of time researching and reviewing new food products, he understands the nuances of what's important to the media, in order to keep them coming back to Food Fête year after year.
