Omnivore - Notes from the Atlanta Food and Wine Festival: day 2
R-r-r-RE-CAP!
- Stephanie Dazey
- Pyrat Rum Daiquiri
For whatever reason, day two of the Atlanta Food and Wine Festival was a bit boozier than day one. After a delicious Pyrat rum daiquiri, it was straight to the Bourbon tasting trail for some Willett, Maker’s 46, and Buffalo Trace.
On an un-related note, margaritas are way better with calories (#Sinless Cocktails). And even though the reps were pushing the spirit’s cocktail potential, Pisco Portón is just fine on its own.
Now onto the day’s faves:
Best bite: Corned Beef Tongue Terrine with Swiss Cheese Espuma, One Eared Stag, Inman Park
Runner-up: Huli Huli Chicken and Sesame Couscous, One Hot Mama’s, Hilton Head
Bronze medal: Cured beef “Bacon” BLT with Tomato Jam, Parish
Best sip: Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Best beer: Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan, Miss.
Runner-up: Highland Kashmir IPA, Asheville
Biggest regret: Not standing in line for The Spotted Trotter’s pork belly 15 ways!?
