I'm sitting in the demo tent listening to the Saints playing great funky blues. I'm singing out loud and probably look like a dork, but I'm having so much fun, I really don't care!
My second foray into the food tents was even better than the first. First I visited Eve herself, of Eve (the restaurant). She was serving up a really interesting spiced bulgar salad. It had peaches and honey, but also a nice little kick of spice and arugula. It's a recipe from her cookbook - check it out for a really nice light summer supper.
Arbor Brewing Company had a fantastic idea - they served up their homemade black bean burgers in a mini-size for one ticket. This means you can actually get a taste of everything at the festival! The burgers were very tasty, on a tiny, toasty, wholegrain bun and topped with fresh salsa.
Perhaps my favorite food of the event so far has been Slow's chicken wings. First of all, they look like the actual wings of actual birds - wing tips and all. Slow's gets all their chicken from Miller's via Eat Local Eat Natural. Then the aroma: woodsy, smoky, spicy. And the taste - good grief, how to describe? Rich, meaty, smoky, and not at all greasy. Absolutely fantastic. I gnawed the bones to the nubs and was tempted to slurp on one like a pacifier for the rest of the afternoon!
