Mr. Fab and wine
My favourite food is anything with bacon in it. Whether it’s an appetizer or a main course, bacon makes everything taste wonderful!
Too many delicious foods to choose from. My favorite food from last year’s fest was the pork belly Mac and cheese
mmm bacon…I’m sensing a theme! vanilla apple bacon cake. Scrumprtious!!
I’ve always had the hardest time trying to pick a fav food, but I think that Lobster has to take the cake (or my grandma’s curry, rice, and parathas – who can say no to home cooked Indian food? 😛 ) But those that you’ve mentioned might change my mind if I was lucky enough to taste them 😉
My favorite food hands down is Mac & Cheese. ANY kind. The cheesier the better. Mmmmmmm….cheese……
I’d have to say Duck Sliders from the Banff Ave. Brewing Co.
I have sooo many favourite foods but I’d have to say barbecued duck with a nice glass of red wine is my favourite!!!
Creme brûlée!
Hmmm…..I think its gotta be chicken. Soooo many yummy ways to cook it. But a very close second would be seafood. Oh but there are toooo many!
sushi – any kind but the more wacky the name and foreign the ingredients – the better. Fave ever is Gourd Kyanpyo from Nobu in dubai… i have no idea what was in it but I crave it.
Continuing on the Japanese theme, I was introduced to regional “street food” while living in Osaka for a year. It is called takoyaki — or Japanese octopus balls. Takoyaki is a mystery melange of fried dough, sliced octopus tentacles with crispy fish flakes and green onion on top, seasoned with mayonnaise and BBQ sauce (of the Japanese variety). Only place I know that sells it Japanese style in North America is a hole-in-the-wall in the East Village of Manhattan called Otafuku. Amazing.
I love TACO SALAD!
Congrats to marcinpogorzelski who is the winner of the tickets! Hope there is some Creme brûlée! at the event for you!
Pan seared scallops, wild mushroom rissoto, grilled asparagus. Served with a nice Chardonnay.
