Recently I shared with you my Top 10 Snacks I couldn’t wait to try at this year’s Food and Wine Festival. Well I am back from my trip (and probably 5 pounds heavier!) and I now I’m excited to share with you what ended up being my Top 5 picks that I think everyone should try this year.
5. Chicken Sausage with Creamy Polenta and Minus 8 Onion Jam, Canada Booth: I was really looking forward to the other two dishes at the Canada booth but decided all three were worth a try. The polenta was so good and there was just a tad bit of a kick. At first I thought the onion jam was too “onion-y” but it really worked well with the whole dish.
4. Crème Brûlée Vanille Chocolat: Vanilla & Chocolate Crème Brûlée topped with Caramelized Sugar, France Booth: So creamy and so rich! And deliciously vanilla and chocolate. The mix of the two really knocks this one out of the park.
3. Soufflé de Yuca: Yuca Soufflé topped with Griddled Cheese, Dominican Republic Booth: This wasn’t even on my list of things I really wanted to try but walking past and seeing “griddled cheese” I decided to stop. I’m really glad I did. This booth is back with a bang after going on hiatus since 2007. The souffle was good – I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect but the cheese – oh the cheese! Grilled goodness and lots of it! Don’t pass this one up.
2. Tacos de Camarón: Battered shrimp, Pico de Gallo, Pickled Onions, and Chipotle Mayonnaise, Mexico Booth: This was a close second to my top choice. I could have eaten 10 of these. They had a nice kick to them but weren’t overly spicy. The shrimp was deliciously breaded and everything blended together so well.
1. Seared sea scallop with Spinach-Cheddar Gratin and Crispy Bacon, Scotland Booth: Oh. My. Goodness! This was so, so good! The line was one of the longest I stood in (even on a rainy Sunday night) so I knew there had to be something worth trying there. It was creamy and rich and the bacon was perfectly crispy. This is another dish I could eat over and over again.
So these are just my opinions on the Top 5 Snacks at this year’s Food and Wine festival (and in full disclosure I was 23 weeks pregnant at the time of our visit) but I’d love to hear yours!
