Ok…. It’s finally over…. Plus the two days I had to work after. I did not get all the pictures I wanted because it was such a whirlwind. I was involved with all the pre-planning and the following events:
Saturday mezcal tasting with a vegan chili and hearts of palm taco. Taco shown below. It was awesome!
Sunday was a 6-course meal

And because I was sick of eating vegetarian and vegan dishes for 3 straight days, I came home, took a hot shower and made a bacon Swiss cheeseburger. Devoured it with a couple cold beers! One of our VPGs was a tote from RG which served as a great backdrop to my burger. Yesterday, before Steve left for the airport, I showed him this picture. He loved it!
The food does actually look great. However, why the vegan/vegetarian focus? My impression is that this dinner is a celebration of beans and vegetarian would certainly limit your food choices.
STEbbq you are not wrong. I would have killed for some brisket from Heritage or some ribs. It’s just the way the shop rolls. We do about 60-70% vegetarian. That said, our carne adovada and red pork pozole are to die for!
In a million years I would never guessed that was a taco. They need to invite a couple of Mexicans to "show up with a goat and an onion" and show them how it's done.
