Dear Food Diary,I was fortunate enough to attend a unique event this past Friday. I'm speaking about Food Fight Fredericksburg. Five area designers and restaurants paired up to compete and each create a one-of-a-kind space along with a small plate and signature drink that encompasses a theme involving the adornment of women. Now the event was called Food Fight, however I personally felt that the amount of alcohol offered far out weighed the amount of food. By the end of the night, I was still kind of hungry and a little drunk. I would have called the night something different, something that included the word cocktails. Cullinaries and Cocktails? I don't know.
I would say the night was an interesting experience and I'm glad I went. Especially, since it was for a good cause, the Fredericksburg Area Museum and Cultural Center. But I will say this, if you plan to attend this event in the future, make sure you don't mind being on your feet. My feet were killing me by the end of the evening. I'm convinced the main reason The Orion won was because they actually gave the participants chairs to sit in, not that their food wasn't exquisite.
Of course they had some other great restaurants there. If you've ever tried Kybecca, Bistro Bethem, Foodie, or Castiglia's in downtown Frederickburg, you know they are worth walking around for. And I even got to try a couple foods that I've never tried before. I tried Quail for the first time and I got to try some fresh raw muscles. That's right I ate a slimy raw invertebrate and I liked it. Anyway thanks for reading my Food Blog. This is the girl who ate Fredericksburg saying don't judge me.
