| - I know that last year's event didn't get great reviews (2012), but I have to say they must have fixed things for 2013 because I had a great time!
I scored a pair of tickets to this event through a Yelp Elite Contest on Twitter... so that alone should make it 5 star right? ;) I only had GA tickets which means I didn't get to experience the VIP entry which was an hour earlier. From what I hear that was really the way to go. But in any case, The food here was endless, the drinks were available around every corner and to top it off, I had several friends there so the social aspect was a blast!
There were few few stations that had lines, most you were able to walk up, take a plate and enjoy! Those areas that did have a wait, man was the food worth it! I only tried about 40% of the stations, that was due to the fact that I spent so much time socializing. :) But that doesn't mean I went home hungry, in fact I went home stuffed! As for the alcohol, one of the event sponsors was Bombay Sapphire and I'm not a fan of Gin, but I still was able to find several drinks I enjoyed and left the even with a healthy buzz. I loved the Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte.
My favorites from everything I tried were:
Todd English P.U.B.'s Hoisen Braised Short Rib Sandwich
Pok Pok's Khanom Jiin Naam Phrick (mmm... coconut curry)
And Kuma Snow Cream
What a great evening of tasting! So many of these foods were things I'd never be gutsy enough to order, but enjoyed immensely at this event! I hope they do it again next year!
