You are killing me girl! All those presentations look awesome! And you seem to be on really good terms with all the chefs! Love the photo of you and chef Andrew!
Both of those two were great and I have one more really good one to post. Chef Robert is just a really nice guy, he's on good terms with everyone. I have been on good terms with Chef Andrew ever since I did his first cooking school. I did it for three years, plus we dined at Napa Rose often enough for him to recognize us by face.
I am so happy that you were able to enjoy the F&WF at DCA so much!! When I heard of the announcement my first thought was: Now Alison can use her VGC points again for herself!! I guess you are already booked for next year again?
Well, I have one weekend booked. F&W is traditionally after Easter which is April 16, 2017 so only two weekends are available to me now. I've booked the second weekend already, but the first is really expensive. I want to be sure it's a weekend that I will be going for sure so that I book with my banked points first. The weekend after Easter is the highest point season, so I'm not sure I'll keep both nights.
I have heard really good things about the festival as a whole and your presentations sound really wonderful. And the food did not look bad either! ;-)
I didn't get to see much of it (or as much as I would have liked), but I liked what I did do. I'll plan to be around more next year.
Interesting info about the buckle. In Germany there are a lot of cakes that are made that way. But then in Germany cake is not something that is served for dessert. Cake has its own distinct meal: Kaffee und Kuchen (I know that you understand this, but for everyone else: coffee and cake). This takes place some time in the afternoon between 2:30pm and 5pm.
Sort of like English Tea I take it. Sounds good! I could go for Cake and Coffee right now! It's 3:30PM!
