Fair Food

I have the wonderful opportunity to go to the fair this week with Bite Club from the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.  I was picked by them to judge the different fair foods and as a group we came up with the fair favorites.  As you can see by the picture above, I love me some BBQ.  And it was a good rib, a bit to much sauce for my taste, but a good rib. And you can see below the table of food we had to work with that day.  There was everything from BBQ to funnel cake.  I will say that the food from the Guy Fereri booths we a little weak this year, small portions, and a bit over cooked.  I tried the Pazole for the first time, and really enjoyed it.  Need to try it at a real Mexican place soon.  Lastly, I must say.  The Elvis funnel cake was amazing.  Funnel cake with peanut butter and bananas, ohhhhhhhh so good!

Food Table

Been a while

So I have been a total blog slacker much to the dismay of John Corippo . So what have I been up to when it comes to the world of porky goodness? Same as ever. Been in a creative slump with this project. But yesterday I had an epiphany. I was talking to my good friend from Sally Tomatoes, Gerard, and we got on the subject of filet of beef. Now this is normally sliced in to steaks, wrapped in bacon and grilled to a medium rare perfection. My idea was to wrap the whole filet in a pork belly, and slow roast it over potatoes and veggies. We will see if we can pull this off. On another food related note, I have been chosen by bite club eats to be part of the fair food scramble. Basically I get to go to the Sonoma County Fair, eat fair food, and then write about it! Sounds like a great day. I will be blogging and facebooking from the fair so be on the lookout!
