Food & Wine (and SO MUCH FUN)
I’m not really sure where to start with explaining the events from the Pebble Beach Food and Wine event that took place this weekend. I’m not even really sure how to explain how incredibly amazing it was to be a part of it. Every single square inch of the weekend was perfect. The weather was perfect, the company was perfect, the wines, food, traffic, celebrities, the whole experience was perfect.
After Anne and I picked up our complimentary tickets to the Lexus Grand Tasting Event from Kiersten, the Foodbuzz representative (thanks, Kiersten!), Anne and I spent the first two and a half hours making our way around the T shaped, and incredibly large, tent filled with samples of recipe masterpieces and expensive wines. It took us that whole time to circle once… the place was huge.
Anne and I took a lot of pictures but most, unfortunately, didn’t really turn out too great. Oh well, I have the memories!
We saw Anne Burrell of Worse Cooks in America
My favorite Guy was there.
I love Guy!
Michael Symon was playing with mint leaves…
And getting a blurry picture with me. Sad it was blurry but SWOON…
I even got to eat Michael Symon’s balls!
Meatballs, people! With sauerkraut and mint sauce. SO good.
Creeper Lori…?
No… Iron Chef Morimoto was signing a book for me!
Besides rubbing elbows with some of the biggest names in food, Anne and I ate…
We also did some alcohol tasting…
Sooooooooooo many pictures, none of the wines. There were over 300 wineries pouring and we didn’t made even a small dent in trying them.
Again, this was a wonderful experience and event!
We even played with Fork Art.
Overall, we had a blast. Check out Anne’s recap here! Thank you so much, Foodbuzz for giving us the opportunity to play with our food! …and score free goodies (Just so it’s clear, that’s water I’m toasting with…)
Bye!!!
