Last weekend was the annual Tastemakers event in downtown Pensacola. I think I had more fun this year because I knew what to expect and the restaurants seemed more prepared for the crowds. Tickets were $25/person for a passport to visit the twelve participating restaurants.
We met at
Seville Quarter where we enjoyed a Spanish Paella with Vina Borgia Garnacha. At Seville, we boarded the trolley and went to
Nom Sushi for Hiyashi Chuka (chilled Ramen salad) and Cucumber Sake Lemonade. The trolley took us to
Chrisoula's Cheesecake Shoppe,
Ever'man Grocery & Cafe, and
Pot Roast & Pinot. We were then dropped at the corner of the main drag (Palafox & Garden) where we made our way toward Main Street stopping at
Pita Pit,
Hopjacks's,
Beef O'Brady's,
The Tin Cow and
World of Beer. Unfortunately, we did not make it to Four Seasons to taste the fried chicken but we all know how good it is and will pay them a visit in the near future.
All in all, it was a great event with what seemed like a good turnout. We went on Friday but the event was Saturday night as well and the passport includes discount for dining until September 19.
To see last year's post...

The Wittekerke was served at Hopjacks with the Belgian fries but not available instead on tap.
We were happy to find it on tap a little later at World of Beer. |

The food looks excellent. I love tasting events where you can try a little of a lot of things. Wittekerke is a really good beer and the baklava cheesecake sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun and surprising how fast I felt full! I think was my first time trying Wittekerke. Now I need to find it in a store. The Baklava cheesecake was so good. I could have eaten five of those little things.

I love all of the attention to detail. Those sandwiches look so yummy right now, too :)

What a fun event! And OMGGGG the food...yes please! No seriously. I need those Belgian fries now! Love Wittekerke too!
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun...like a pub crawl but with restaurants and food. Obviously, drinks too. I love Belgian beer so i'm really surprised that Wittekerke is new to me :) The fries are amazing (fried in duck fat for added flavor)!
