On Sunday, March 28th, I was asked to be a Culinary Judge at the Bon Vivant Food & Wine Tasting Event held at Rawhide. This event benefits the Boys & Girls Club of the East Valley. I, of course loving food, gladly accepted the invitation to judge. Upon arriving, I was assigned the category of Desserts. Wahoo, I was hoping I would get this category!!! I, along with Dinna Higgins from the Mesa City Council, judged over 8 different restaurants and caterers selected desserts. We had everything from truffles, fondue, bread pudding, key lime tart, flan and many more. The winner was the fruit flatbread - flatbread topped with warm chocolate syrup, fresh raspberries, strawberries and bananas!! Unfortunately, the restaurant or caterer was kept from us when selecting the winner, so I am not sure which restaurant/caterer produced this heavenly dessert!!! After judging the desserts, I was asked to judge the best booth at the event. This single-handedly was Rawhide. What a great booth - wonderful presentation, great service and amazing food!
My husband Greg had the opportunity to attend this event, for a change. What an event to attend. He was able to sample food, wine, beverages, and liquor while I was fulfilling my judging duties!
I am suprised to say... I think I can have had enough dessert for awhile!!
