. "This has to be one the best culinary events I have been to. The participants were awesome, from tasty appetizers to meal samples to deserts my tummy had a warm and full feeling when I left. My taste buds were stimulated at each stop, the chefs were friendly and more than willing to tell you what was in it, and how it was made. \n\nDrinks were also taken care of from different wines to iced teas and various coffees to margaritas and vodka drinks. Also Fiji Water available for those that just wanted the simple wet. \n\nThe portions were more than plentiful as there were a lot of booths. Crab burgers, Kobe burgers, scallops, shrimp, lamb chops, carved duck, pastas, all were awesome. Just thinking about the experience is making me full. All for $20, not sure there was a better deal in town over the weekend. The weather also played a role as it was the first weekend that it was nice an warm in Phoenix. Can't wait for the next one!"^^ . . "1"^^ . "2010-03-17T00:00:00"^^ . "5"^^ . "2"^^ . "3"^^ . .
