RER Does The Foodbuzz Street Food Fair

Dinner· Fun

FacebookTweetPin
6 Nov

After some down time in the room it was time to head to the Foodbuzz Street Food Fair. It was held in the Herbst Pavilion in Fort Mason.IMG_3246

We arrived right at sunset and it was gorgeous.

IMG_3257

But, we had to peek over a dirty wall near some dumpsters to get a good picture….

IMG_3253 totally worth it 🙂

IMG_3259

Then it was time to EAT!

IMG_3261 How better to welcome foodies to a food celebration then with  “FOODBUZZ” written in cupcakes?!  Ahhhh! It’s good to be here.

IMG_3266

 

First we sat down and played a little game. Each food blogger was asked to bring a gift that represented their blog or area.  We exchanged them in a little game and I totally scored! IMG_3274

The plate of snacks on the table…

IMG_3275 Each of us took turns explaining our blog and our gift.

That is The Ravenous Couple and Sippity Sup. IMG_3279I got the Michael Pollan book “In Defense of Food”. I was SUPER excited about it and raved about how I love Pollan, and have read other books of his but not this one yet. I was very happy about this gift. So, I was very disappointed when after walking around and enjoying the food I came back to my seat to find my gift GONE. Boo. I’m upset. Let’s leave it at that.

Before I realized my gift was MIA we walked around and enjoyed a bunch of different delicious foods. I started with the vegan paella, which was amazing. Who needs meat when you know how to work the spices?IMG_3281 Then we made it to a place I love for the name, if nothing else…

IMG_3284

A veggie taco with beans! I love that. I appreciate when veggie options have more than just veggies in them 🙂

IMG_3287 While everyone said I should take “smells like enchiladas” as a compliment, I’d rather be called “tacolicious” any day. Thank you.

IMG_3288

 

Melissa and I shared some chips and salsa with our tacos!IMG_3285

Pizza was enjoyed. Nothing else to report about it.

IMG_3289

My favorite food of the night was this Indian wrap. It was full of veggies, egg, cheese and curry spices. I loved it!

IMG_3291 I think Melissa did too 🙂

IMG_3290

Finally, it was time for dessert!

IMG_3268 I had been planning on devouring these cupcakes since we arrived…

IMG_3271

But, I had to wait a little longer since the Food Network was there filming. The cupcakes where made by Mission Minis and the network is filming something for Cupcake Wars. In case anyone cares, I just came up with a name for my cooking show. Just saying.IMG_3301 It was cool to see the cameras following them around.

IMG_3299 And everyone clamoring to get in front of the cameras when it came time to dig in.

IMG_3303

 

But, no one wanted to take the first cupcake! Finally one brave soul decided to go for it. I wish I knew who this was… he’s my hero.IMG_3302

I had one of each kind of cupcake. The pumpkin flavor was AMAZE.IMG_3269

But, we all know I come for the ice cream!

IMG_3294 Organic Brown Sugar Banana Ice Cream to be exact.

IMG_3292

There was also a toffee flavor I tried. Real ice cream is so good, but my heart and taste buds belong to fro-yo. Growing up my mom would take us to fro-yo to celebrate accomplishments or down our sorrows, so it’s a comfort food thing I think 🙂

IMG_3295 Someone, who I will now say is smarter than anyone else I know, asked to have a scoop of ice cream put in their vanilla beer. Yes, they are smarter then you. But, that’s okay. Go make yourself a beer-ice cream float and just be happy someone thought of it even if it wasn’t you.

IMG_3296

The ice cream girls are my new best friends. I can be bought with ice cream, or money (that I can use to go buy ice cream). IMG_3297 

Tacolicious (that’s me) has to go to bed now. See you in the morning!

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      Great. I am sorry we did not get to talk more once the gifts were exchanged, but that’s the nature of these things. I am happy to get you pov here though. GREG

      I can’t believe someone would just steal your book :O
      If I saw someone walking around with my stolen book a fist fight would break out! D=<

      Thanks for the GREAT coverage. Those Mission Minis are the best cupcakes in California; I know because I was there and had six, five of them whisked onto my plate when no one was looking. I would walk a mile for another six, even in the rain. Thanks also to their baker.

      I can’t believe someone swiped your book. Asshats. But I’ve totally finished reading that book and will give you my copy. I’ve read it twice…maybe 3 times. Next time I see you, I’ll bring it!

      Street Food Fare was fabulous — and I’m so glad I got to meet you! And sit next to you for the ‘get to know you’ sesh & gift exchange.

      Though I’m super sad someone stole the gift from the exchange. I was so excited you appreciated it so much. Totally lame of whoever took it. Seriously.

      But I’m glad the rest of the weekend has still been fabulous 🙂

      Gah! This is the first Foodbuzz post I’ve read… I’m already jealous and not sure I can read any more!! 😉

      That really stinks that someone stole your book. 🙁 Boo to that. But, if you’re interested, I have the book and would be more than happy to send it to you!

      Have a fun rest of the weekend!

      I’m sure those pumpkin cupcakes were truly delicious — can anyone really tire of pumpkin by the first weekend in November? Not a chance.

      That was quite the move of desperation, stealing that book. How rude. Maybe Ben will feel bad for you and surprise you with a new one when you get home.

      AWE…Food bloggers should not steal. Maybe someone thought you forgot it and will give it to you in the morning. I was happy to see your site was up and I was able to read about all the fun I am missing.
