These menus have blown me away. The food looks good, and I can’t wait to try these fantastic dishes. As a vegetarian, I am most excited for the Trowel & Trellis Hosted by Impossible booth. From that Outdoor Kitchen, I am most excited to try the Grilled Baby Vegetables with hummus cream and red pepper coulis; I love hummus; it is my favorite snack. Each year I have put off trying the Frushi, but this year will be the year I try it. You can’t go wrong with a cute pink snack.
Since I love cheese, I have my eye on the Croissant with goat cheese, herbs, and roasted garlic; this is a brand new item at the festival that will be served at the Fleur de Lys booth located by the France Pavilion. Another food item I am excited to try is the Plant-based Chorizo and black beans on a crispy corn tortilla with avocado mousse and queso fresco from Jardin de Fiestas. These are just a few items I am excited to try this year.
What items are you most excited to try this year? Let us know in the comments!
