The Diva That Ate New York // The diva tasted
The worst part of my job is having to taste a range of foods, wines and beverages. I ask myself, “Why me?” :)
When it comes right down to it the Fancy Food Show (FFS) is not pretty or easy. Three days of tasting, even doing just three hours per day, is hard work! My new system of eating only savory food for the first two hours and doubling back for the sweet stuff for the last hour worked really well, but by the end of second day my buds and my dogs were B-E-A-T! and I had yet to set foot upstairs.
The next morning I was toast. Is there such thing as a food hangover? Or was it wine flu from the foodparty.com event the night before? Duty called so I dragged myself back for the love of cheese and smoked, fried, cured, marinated pork products that was my day three and it seemed to “cure” whatever was ailing me. Last night, I had a huge salad to ward off the scurvy and today I bring you my fancy food finds (if not necessarily faves).

After tasting all day at the Fancy Food we took a break on the Highline, which I was seeing for the first time—Gorgeous! I see picnics furnished at Chelsea Market in my future. After a perfect respite from the feeding, we headed over the food party hosted by School House Kitchen, Jimmys No.43 and Edible Manhattan to feed some more.

When you say rum, I hear mojito!!! It’s my new favorite beverage, mostly due to the use of tons of fresh mint, which I adore! So when I read on Peter Shankman’s HARO about the opportunity to score an invite to the Brugal rum-tasting, I heard a Mojito calling me and my hand shot up!
