“Pssst,” I heard in my ear followed by a wave from Ryan to follow him to the newest selection.
It was the beginning of Meatfest, my friend’s annual party to showcase delicious meat. You name the meat and it was probably there at some point or another throughout the night…brisket, pork, cured meat, smoked and fried meat, chicken, bacon…I could keep going.
I couldn’t even tell you what Ryan led me to for my first bite of Meatfest but I know it was delicious! And even better, I was one of the first to try it and waited in no line.
15 minutes later, “Pssst,” I heard in my ear followed by a wave from John.
This time I followed John over to the tent for a variety of cured meat…Bresaola (a dried beef filet), duck breast prosciutto and hot sopressata. All homemade by Ryan and John! OMG! Amazing.
A little while later, “Hey! Elena,” I heard above the crowd, followed by a wave from Scott.
This time I was flagged inside the tent to cut the line for a taco. Not just any taco but one that was made with smoked ribs that were then taken off the bone and battered and fried.
The food just kept getting better and better as the day went on. And I just kept feeling more and more special. Who knows why I was one of the first to try these amazing creations, but I was not about to complain.
I left Meatfest 2018 with not only a full stomach but also a very full heart.
