Ok, here's my review of the offerings at the food and wine that we got around to. We didn't even get through half of our list, it was way too hot so we only could eat little bits at a time before feeling beyond overheated lol! Next time I decide to try doing F&W, I am going toward the end of the festival!
First up, Coastal Eats, the booth itself is super cute and very well themed. I got the Baked Scampi Dip, Oysters Rockefeller, and the Cape Codder cocktail. The Baked Scampi Dip was very fishy and the bread that was served with it was so stale it was almost inedible, it was a no go for me. The oysters rockefeller were superb. I didn't go into it with high hopes but omg they were creamy cheesy deliciousness. The Cape Codder was very refreshing and a fun take on my favorite drink, you could definitely taste hints of the lime and pomegranate in it!

Next we went to Mac & Eats and had the Cowboy Mac and Cheese which was very delicious and the best part? When you order the Cowboy they yell "Yee-Haw" everytime! Its great! This was a nice creamy mac and cheese base with hot peppers, but not too hot... I would call them mild, crispy onions and bbq burnt ends and pulled pork. yummm

The Fry Basket was next. We got the fry flight which was pretty good, our favorite from the selection of 3 was the barbequed bacon fries because the smoked aoli was delicious and complemented them well. The salt and vinegar fries were lack luster and the sweet potato fries just didn't have enough of the marshmallow topping and pecans so really only 2 or 3 fries got the full shebang. For drinks here we got the salty dog which was delicious and not too sweet and the 81 Bay Brewing Key Lime Lager which had zero key lime flavor so that was disappointing.

At Flavors from fire we got all three food items and the Bonfire Beer. The smoked corned beef was absolutely delicious as always. It was creamy crispy goodness. The banh mi bao was very flavorful and juicy I just wish it was a bigger portion. This one is a little on the spicy side, so if you're completely heat adverse I would stay away from that. And the rocky road chocolate cake was every chocolate lovers dream! It is super rich and warm and melty and I devoured it pretty quickly. The beer however, was not great. I think it might be because we just don't tend to like darker beers but we struggled to drink the whole thing between the both of us. We had to drink it though because throwing it away would be alcohol abuse! lol
