  1. I went once, that weekend we were there for my birthday and met you for dinner. I quite liked it, and thought the little tasting sizes were great. You have a more refined palate than I do, I think.

  2. @Amanda: I did have fun the first few years I went! It's much smaller than when you were last here (due to budgetary/revenue issues) - there's really not much food variety. :-(

  3. That was my first impression the year I moved here and why I've never gone back.

  4. And there's always alligator - or something that tastes like it! :-)

  5. I am with you on the food truck love. I have not been to the Taste in about 12 years, but honestly if I had realized the food trucks were going to be there I would have gone there this year. Looks like you got some delicious eats, I have some trucks to add to my must try list.

  6. Those donuts look AWESOME!!!

  7. @Althea: Not anymore. :-( No more alligator on a stick & no more massive turkey legs.

    @Jacky: I *only* went down there because of the food trucks! The last time I attended was in 2003... or maybe 2004.

    @Jenny: They were AMAZING!!

  8. I haven't been to Taste of DC in years, but it used to be so crowded that not a lot of fun was had. I bet they have a ton of food trucks there now, I wonder how they handle it.

  9. The fries do look great.
    I went once in the beginning, the early 90s. I didn't like it then either. I thought the portions were enormous, way too big for a "Taste." Enjoyed your post...if it makes money I bet they continue it.
