me and broad appetit.

June 8, 2009

last year i had a real tough time with this festival. when i got there, most of the lovely chefs/restaurants had run out of food.

this year, we volunteered.  WE SERVED BEER. (so fun.)

our breakdown:

1.) THANK you, veron and cute hubs. if you hadn’t brought us the delish macarons, we would have missed out. peeps: if you have not tried these delightful treats – post haste it over to here and order online.

2.) risotto is not an under-a-heat-lamp type of dish. sensi was serving up some delish butter poached lobster over a lemon risotto. while all the flavors were there, the risotto just didn’t quite make it during the transition. (for three dollars, i would eat it again.)

3.) if you were drinking beer, hope you tried the new sam adams’ harvest. made with wet hops (as opposed to dry) and three different types of hops from new zealand, this is a mouthful of taste in a beer. it really stood out among the tasty beverages that were being served at our truck.

4.) other highlights in no particular order: harry kollatz- looking loverly in his seersucker suit, bourbon bread pudding- oh so delish and a stand-out shrimp and grits from the yellow umbrella (which you can purchase to-go from the  store).   

if you were there and found something lip-smackin’- i would love to hear about it – drop me a line.

  1. I had hubs be the first in the risotto line so ours were still satiny creamy. It was kinda embarassing because he was hovering until they were ready to open..he.hee.
    Glad you liked the macarons..I told him we can’t let our beer pourers go hungry. ;)


  2. sensi’s zabaglione with berries was delicious (and refreshing in the heat). :)

  3. Black Sheep’s curry lamb was also the bomb! And can’t go wrong with Buz and Ned’s pulled pork sandwich and baked beans. With Buz himself manning the grill.


  4. veron: yummy yummy.. thanks for looking out- we are most grateful.

    brie: i heard it was delightful. happy to have a good opinion of the desserty-ness

    liz: black sheep is most mmm all around. i saw the flay slayer and his pig statue. :) good stuff.
