| - my wife treated me to the event this year and can i say "oh poor poor belly". as usual, i follow the 20 minute rule...eat and drink as much as i can in 20 minutes because afterwards, i'm a sorry, full, lazy SOB.
this was an amazing event. it replaced Crave (now defunct i guess) AZ as my favorite food festival. the tickets may seem a bit steep at first, but with so much great food and drinks, it pays for itself within 20 minutes.
i was surprised to see all the places we had eaten before. i sometimes think we don't go out as much, but apparently we do. North, Switch, LGO, Postino, True Food, Stingray, Roka Akor, just to name a few. all excellent small plates. the wines scattered throughout were just as tasty. i was driving, so i didn't partake in too many, but what i tasted was excellent.
AJ's had a desert table and fortunately, i was a stuffed piglet so i physically could not eat anymore, however, if was on death row, this is what i would request as my last meal.
the museum was a great place to hold this event. it wasn't overly crowded and there was plenty of food and drink to go around. even water! there were cooking demonstrations to top it all off.
if you go, bring something to take home extra cookies in. wear sunscreen and a hat. enjoy. wonderful event!
