great write-up – feels like i was there! and great photos. i know i’m cynical (and also a real hater of the food network) but seriously, someone has got to contain guy fieri. i know his “shtick” is prob. entertaining on a certain level but it makes my head spin. it’s just so predictable that he’d have the bret michaels meets evil kneivel thing going with his segment – he mind as well just bring in a big paper mache statue of his own you-know-what to bring the level of his manliness up a few emeril notches! lol – just made myself giggle at that thought.

ok, i’ll stop. but thanks for the write-up.

Hua: Nice recap of the SE posts. Even though we didn’t go, we’re riveted to that thread. It was ironic that we went to another food festival on the same weekend, Taste of the Nation Los Angeles and they nailed it…fabulous event. Over 46+ restaurants, unlimited tastings for 1 price and free ETOH and hardly a wait..granted it was probably 1/10 the size… We blogged about it on our site.

Stephanie and Kai: Fantastic photos!!! So glad to discover your blog.

I really liked this post. Everyone knows there were huge problems with the festival and critics just love to pan things. I appreciate that you acknowledged there were huge problems but then went on to find some great aspects and take some wonderful photos. Its really easy to b*tch and moan in life and in a food blog, its easier to be funny and to sound sophisticated. Its not as easy in life and in writing to appreciate the good.

You got some great photos! I sort of gave up after they started running out of food… Even through the festival wasn’t as good as people expected, I still had a great time and I’m already looking forward to the next time around.

Hua, I can’t agree with you more!
