So it would seem that my dreams of being a food photographer are over, based on the ridiculously bad photos that I managed to snap at the Emporiyum. So depressing! But at least the food was delicious. That certainly made up for it! There was only one thing I had that was gross. It was some crazy cookie thing, that was all lemon and ginger and horrid.
Best of the Day:
Shake Shack (as usual): This time around they had their burgers as opposed to mushroom burgers and their custard of the day was Salted Pretzel. It sounds horrible but it was delicious!
Dooby's: Korean Fried Chicken. It was juicy and crispy even though it was smothered in some awesome sweet and spicy sauce. On top of enjoying every last bite, I was pretty proud that I managed to not get the sweet, sticky, spicy sauce all over my khaki pants (in retrospect, light colored pants - not the greatest fashion choice to eat in all day!)
City Dining Cards - I'm not sure if a specific restaurant cooked these up or if some awesome chef works for the City Dining Card company, but for $1 they were serving Amish hot pretzels with Beer Cheese sauce. Delicious! I would have paid 5x that amount. It was the very first thing I had all day and was pretty much the best!
Best of the Rest:
Fatty Sundays: Gourmet chocolate covered pretzels covered in toffee.
Sweet Lydias: Handmade marshmallows - soft and not at all like the bagged kind. But my dad makes them better so I was less than impressed.
District Donut: Chocolate Donut Holes - good, but their shirts were even better. All the District Donut chefs wore shirts that said "Semper Fry" : )
Wit & Wisdom: BLTs. Delicious!
Butter Brothers: The Butter Bun from yesterday. Warm and gooey but incorrectly named. It was way more cinnamony than buttery.
Charleston Biscuits: Buttermilk biscuits, that were soft and perfect. But they were serving them plain - major bummer. Another company was serving corn biscuits (which were so not biscuits) with honey. The biscuits would have been so much better with honey!
All in all, I left very stuffed and very happy!
