On Saturday Dan and I went to the "Great Taste," a fundraiser for the police and firefighters where you pay $20 and eat samples from various restaurants in the area. Of course the only reason we went was to support those who provide for our safety, not because of the delicious food or anything. I forgot my camera, but Dan took a couple of pictures of me eating with his phone, but I didn't even bother to look at them because eating pictures are never good. So I scanned the list of participating restaurants and the foods they offered. (It's pretty blurry, just click it to see it better.) I was so disappointed in the capacity of my stomach! I envisioned myself trying it all, but after about six places I felt like another bite would result in throwing up! Dan and I took a little break after that to digest, and then tried a few more places, where I could only take a few bits from each. I circled the foods we tried, and the others will just have to remain a mystery. If we do this again, next time I will prioritize, because I definitely could have done without Sizzler! I would have liked to have tried the sushi and oysters, but I knew if I tried those on a full stomach, it would not be good!! My favorites were Mi Tortilla's cheese enchilada, Mimi's artichoke dip, Super Suppers' artichoke dip, and BJ's mini pizookie.On Saturday Dan and I went to the "Great Taste," a fundraiser for the police and firefighters where you pay $20 and eat samples from various restaurants in the area.

That sounds pretty cool. I wish our firefighters and police would muster something like that up. They fund raise on the corners at the intersections and do, "fill the boot." The artichoke dips are always a hit for me when I go to a restaurant.
Shelley, I'm disappointed in the capacity of your stomach, too!
Hey, next time I want to come. I want to support the police and firefighters!
P.S. Love the song "Run" I just heard.
Sounds very neat, yummy and what a cool fundraiser! Do you go to the restaurants or do they bring the yummy food to a designated location?
ps I LOVE MI TORTILLA! :-)
Yeah, I'm with Lara...I want to support them too. Napa 29 is a super expensive fancy restaurant. Did you like the food? I think we will have to stretch your stomach next time before you go by going out and gorging a bit several nights in a row!
