Broad Appétit 2009
I took to the streets this Sunday to visit Richmond’s food festival, Broad Appetit. I also snapped some photos of the event.
There were many tasty treats. The last thing I had were these tempura-fried shiitake’s from Acacia. The whole ride home, my mouth was overwhelmed with significant mushroom flavor. While they needed salt, they flavor endured.
The red velvet cupcake from Baby Cakes was absolutely delicious and very classy looking. T-Bone’s barbequed pork ribs were so tender, but the sauce was lacking in a flavor punch.
The surrey sausage, fried crisp, atop a freshing tomato salad was divine, from Comfort. The roast beef sandwich from Kitchen 64 was tasty, with mushrooms, but it lacked drama.
What was the best thing you had? Fellow food blogger from Veronica’s Test Kitchen was selling her Parisian delights… and these were (by far) the most delicious thing we ate at Broad Appétit, 2009. Her passion fruit macaron was absolutely incredible. Depth of flavor, excellent mouth feel and chew, and ultimately impressively satisfying. Kudos Veronica!

Thanks for stopping by! I am extremely flattered with your compliment. Hubby and I did horde some passion fruit milk chocolate at home…one of our favorites.

Veronica’s macarons were definitely delicious - I loved the hazelnut macaron with salted caramel filling. So good.
Aside from those, we really enjoyed the kibbeh kebabs from Sticks and the jicama / pork summer rolls from Savor were so good on a hot day!

I loved the banh mi — Vietnamese pork sandwich from Cafe Gutenberg. Also the picked shrimp from Julep’s. I was totally surprised!
