The admission to this event was provided by Pacific Wine and Food
Classic but the opinions expressed here are my own.
This
was my first time experiencing the Pacific Wine and Food Classic. It was a
sunny summer day but since the event was right along the Newport Dunes’ beachfront, a sweet,
cool oceanic breeze made it a very comfortable event. Another positive is that
the event was not oversold so it wasn’t overly crowded and had plenty of areas
to stop, relax, and enjoy the food & wine.
Here
are some of my favorite bites and creative presentations (there are even more
on the YouTube video above):
Melissa’s
Produce served up a deconstructed street corn with hatch chile powder. I am
a HUGE hatch chile fan and just love this…
And
Keitt Mango Agua Frescas hit the spot with its creamy, tropical flavor.
Texas de Brazil served
up Skirt Steak with mashed potatoes. This is my favorite churrascaria in Orange
County!
Villa
Roma served up their famous Paella. Watch the video above to see it in all
its magnificence!
Silva’s Fresh Eatery + Churrascaria
served up Ceviche. It was perfectly made without being overly lemony.
Atria Senior Living served up Hamachi
Poke…
And
Salmon Poke. I loved that they had the essence of the authentic poke without
adding avocado or tropical fruits. Shaka, chefs!
Toast Kitchen and Bakery served
up a Lemon Sorbet with fruit and chia seeds. It was a simple dessert yet so
elegant!
Chunk-N-Chip served up a Maker’s Mark ice
cream with bacon brittle and burnt caramel orange sauce sandwiched between gluten-free
chocolate chip cookies. I’ve been following Chunk-N-Chip since 2010 and they never
disappoint!
Golden
Spoon served up Affogato (vanilla ice cream in espresso). For a minute, I was
taken back to Italy…
LSXO served up Chocolate Whoopie Pies…
And
Vietnamese bún (cold vermicelli noodles) with beef. Such a refreshing dish and
perfect for a summer day!
