| - Devoured Culinary Classic, formerly the "West of Western," culinary festival, was a huge hit! I attended on this past Sunday, and ate my way through the many local restaurants that were there. It was well-run, it happened to be a beautiful day, awesome people watching, and oh so many friends in attendance... what a blast!
I didn't take the time to see the Ansel Adams exhibition, so I will have to return to PAM again soon to do that. I did, however, eat the following:
-Scallop with English Pea Risotto from Different Pointe of View
-Shrimp Ceviche from Chelsea's Kitchen
-Gazpacho from Arcadia Farms
-Posole from Green
-Ginger Sweet Potato Pudd'n from Breadfruit
-Lambchop with Farfalle and Savory Creme Brulee from Talavera
-Waloo Tataki in lettuce wrap and Grilled Chicken Meatball from Hana
-Machaca from Kai
Apparently, I missed a kick-ass Beef Wellington from Petite Maison as well as samples from a handful of other restaurants. Jared made up for what I passed on, including a Crab Cake Slider from Relish and three-four extra servings of Cowboy Ciao's Frosted Flake Ice Cream & Brittle with Malted Oatmeal Cookie.
Yes, I will definitely have to try to get in an extra workout or two this week to make up for all of those extra calories I "devoured" on Sunday.
Thanks to Phoenix Art Museum, Local First Arizona, and The Arizona Republic for putting it on... I look forward to this annual festival in the years to come!
