Tacos and Tequila Is One Tasty Good Time

Although I enjoyed Meatball Madness and the tasting tent, my favorite event at the New York City Wine and Food Festival was Saturday night's party, Tacos and Tequila, hosted by Bobby Flay.

Although I enjoyed Meatball Madness and the tasting tent, my favorite event at the New York City Wine and Food Festival was Saturday night's party, Tacos and Tequila, hosted by Bobby Flay. It could be that I much prefer tacos to meatballs, or the fact that hard liquor was served, but this shindig was fabulous.

I also had some fun celebrity chef sightings: I bumped into Anne Burrell at the bar, watched as Guy Fieri and his entourage arrived at the space and scoped out the scene, and met the lovely Claire Robinson in person. There were so many scrumptious tacos that it was hard to select one as a favorite, but I really enjoyed Sue Torres' taco, a smoked fish in a crunchy shell.

To them it means a lavish raspberry red tequila drink coated in edible gold. The specialty drink is called the Patron Red Carpet, and four thousand of them will be served at this year's Governors Ball.

Happy Hour: Bing Cherry Margarita

Last week Yum and I found ourselves enjoying pizza, cocktails, and the Argentina vs. Mexico soccer game. The pizza was a little too soft for our liking, but both the game and the cocktails went above and beyond our expectations. I had spent the day thinking about cherries and was delighted to see one of the seasonal specialty cocktails was a cherry margarita! Cherries muddled with tequila and lime juice served on the rocks with a lime zest salted rim sounded like heaven. It was slightly disappointing when the finished drink was made with a pureed cherry syrup rather than muddled cherries, but it was still cool, refreshing, and delicious. The lime zest really added a tasty zing to the salted rim, and if you love tequila you will definitely delight in this cocktail. Give this drink a whirl when you get bored with the regular old lemon-lime margs. To get the recipe, read more
