As a Seattleite, teriyaki delights me. I’ve been on dates, love teriyaki, been on dates and eaten teriyaki, but have never experienced such psychosis..thank goodness.

Today: Everett Street Food Festival
I love food trucks and street food. So, this looks a heck-of-a-lot-of fun. If I can make it, I’ll be there.

Go to this if you’re into feasting on the best street food in the Puget Sound. Here it is– the official lineup of # FoodTrucks coming to Everett this weekend. We’ve pretty much covered every major food group except pizza, but really, you can get pizza anywhere! Bring on the po’ boys, crazy hot dogs, mile-high sandwiches and the eclectic gut-bombs!
Thoughts on Taste of Edmonds and Bite of Seattle
At the risk of sounding curmudgeonly, I’m not a fan of these community events: the Taste of Edmonds, and it’s older cousin, the Bite of Seattle. Perhaps it’s a case of “back in the day” sentimentality, or just that grumpy “get off my lawn you damn kids”, but these events just grate on me. I’m charged an admission fee to wander through booths and buy one dinner (I suppose I could buy several dinners, but I’m really trying to make less of me in the world).
What I’ve seen the past few times I’ve gone are loads of booths, where you buy full meals. That’s not a “Taste”. The value of an event like these is to sample the wares of many (all?) the vendors. In the recesses of my memory, there’s notes about buying a punch-card that entitled you to one sample from each vendor. Perhaps another sign of aging, but if it’s not my memory, it should be.
To be more specific to the Edmonds event, I have another issue: most of the vendors I remember seeing don’t have restaurants in Edmonds. They seem to be, predominantly the same vendors who attend the Edmonds Arts Festival, amongst other area events. Blah!
Add into that the closing of my beloved Farmer’s Market for a day, the masses of traffic that descend into the Bowl, and that the Edmonds Boys and Girls club is displaced for several days, and my aggravation meter pegs high. Maybe that’s the larger issue. Maybe. Still, I’ll be sitting this one out, and back in the area after the madness has passed. But before the streets are swept, I expect.

Garlic Festival 2013, Sept. 26th – Oct. 13th.
The crisp air of fall returns and so does Lombardi’s Garlic Fest! After a 5 year hiatus, Lombardi’s Garlic Festival is back, from September 26th to October 13th!
We’ve created a special menu featuring the “Stinking Rose,” in appetizers, entrees, and desserts; crafted garlic infused cocktails, and cooked up a host of special events to celebrate “the love of the bulb.” And of course it wouldn’t be Garlic Fest without the “Guess how many garlics” contest.
Favorites from our Garlic Festival menu include; Baked Gilroy Garlic with crispy Italian bread, 40 Clove Roasted Chicken, Pasta Nera, with garlic tiger prawns & black linguine, and our ever popular Cappuccino Brownie. Absolutely Heavenly!
Special Events Schedule:
Everett Marina
Thursday, October 10th, Garlic Cocktail Class, 4:00-7:00pm. Drop in for a garlic infused cocktail crafting demo, tantalizing tastings, and nibbling with Blue water Vodka owner, John Lundin and Lombardi’s GM, Josh Pedersen. $20.00, includes light appetizers, cocktail samples & sales tax. 425.252.1886

Northwest Chocolate Festival : This Weekend September 20-22
I love the text above. Gorgeous font, IMHO. Anyway, what could be more awesome than a chocolate festival! I’m not sure I can fit this one in, but really, REALLY want to. And not just because my favorite chocolate company ever, Theo, is involved.
Anyway, go. Just. Go.
Event this weekend @ Lynnwood Convention Center : Celebration of Food
Just read over at My Edmonds News about this weekend’s “Celebration of Food” festival.
Sadly, I’ve yet to step foot inside the Lynnwood Convention Center. I guess I need to check out their calendar of events more often (read: >0 times).
Anyway, combine the local nature of this with a celebration of food, and this is one I really shouldn’t miss. I’ll plan to head over.
More details about the event at Edmonds Community College and at the Food Revolution Snohomish County’s Facebook page.
And, lastly, a video with some additional background.
Hope to see you there!
