I always forget to take a photo of the best taste at a
food fest. That’s because I gobbled it up before I think of snapping one.
That’s how it was with Crow Bar’s Black Label slider.
Very juicy and served with cooked sautéed onions, it was the best of Saturday’s
Tasting event.

The Newport Beach Food and Wine Festival held its first
ever event. It didn’t attract the high end chefs and restaurants as would LA
Food and Wine or even LA Times The Taste. It was a mixture of chain
restaurants, food trucks and catering services, and even event venues such as
the Honda Center.
Fresh from his visit to Macau, Chef Pascal Olhats brought
a minchi dumpling and his take on egg tarts, a staple in Macau. Olhats also
gave a demonstration outdoors on how to make minchi. Beautiful, yeah?
He was quite an ambassador for the region, talking about
his trip and encouraging guests to travel there.
I concur. As far as cuisine, it was some of the best food
I’ve had in my life. I used to audit Kimpton restaurants so I do have
knowledgeable taste buds. My best overall meal ever was at Manuel’s on Taipa
island. As mentioned before here, even a chef and FB manager were avid fans.
Here’s a look at some other tastes from the festival.
