The menu was stellar as seven local restaurants showcased a bite of their delicious food. Here is my plate of goodness:
The menu included:
Etta's - Rub with Love salmon with cucumber slaw.
Purple Café - Gorgonzola stuffed dates with pine nuts. 
Al Boccalino, Seattle’s Little Italy - A cold soup with oven toasted beets, balsamic vinegar, orange juice scented with thyme. 
John Howie Steakhouse - Sliced filet mignon (I didn't get the description on this one, but it was fabulous!) 
Roxy’s Diner - Hot pastrami on rye with mustard. 
BARRIO - Achiote rubbed prawns with spicy red sangrita. 
Sand Point Grill - Peach Shortcake - Washington peaches, gluten-free nutmeg cake, honey yogurt whip and tart berry syrup.
I couldn't believe how much food we got for $10...I definitely did not expect it! They had this going on all weekend and I may have had dreams about that salmon and pastrami sandwich! I thought about going back, but the crowd was pretty intense! As we meandered the rows of vendors, we each picked up a mango lemonade...YUM! I also got a nutella crepe and it was just meh, ok...

Have you been to any good festivals lately? What is your favorite festival food?

That is hilarious!!! The food looks wonderful! I have never been to a food festival. I would love to try one though :)
ReplyDeletehaha, great picture! I feel like that sometimes after eating so much. Especially at fun summer events like this!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of prawns and spicy red sangria. What a combo! And beets in salads is one of my favorites. I think they really add so much texture and flavor.
Looks like you seriously made good on the amazing food offerings at the festival. There's a garlic festival in a town near the Bay Area that I've always wanted to attend. I love garlic, so I can imagine that there's plenty of delicious, garlic-saturated recipes to try there.
ReplyDeleteLOL at the food coma photo! Those gorgonzola stuffed dates from Purple are so good, I order them every time I'm there.
ReplyDeleteThe steak and peach shortbread look fantastic. Thanks for sharing. :)
