So, instead of writing a laboriously long blog post about how amazing the Food and Wine Festival was, let me just hit the high notes and tell you what we ate. Everything tasted amazing, except for the Taste of Scandinavia. I think it was just a preference thing, but that was the only dish Ryan and I didn't enjoy. I put some favorites below, but it was really hard to choose because everything, and I seriously mean everything, was so tasty!
