    Has @Smorgasburg Jumped The Shark Fin Soup? Has The Brooklyn Food Start-Up Marketplace Gone Corporate By Allowing Cooking Channel To Stage An Event?

    ’m a fan of small-business and a fan of food so I’m always happy when I see the two come together. What I am not happy about is when I see a larger corporate entity take advantage of small-businesses by moving in on their turf without showing proper respect.

It started last year and is a great opportunity for local food-startups to sell their goods. Most of the items you can not find anywhere else in town other than Smorgasburg. It’s a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon and it’s a great destination for your out-of-town guests that want to experience the area’s artisanal food start-up boom.
