Mom & I took BART to this festival in Berkeley. The main attraction for us is the chef stage, and maybe there will be some food vendor that catches her fancy. We arrived at the chef stage as they were handing out sauteed shrimp, so I walked right up and grabbed a few. Tasty, but... too salty! I think that's true for most non-homecooked food for us now. Certainly for me.
Next up was the blackened ahi. Pretty easy to do... just buy some K-paul blackening seasoning. Oh, and the butter goes on the fish, not in the pan. The pan is hot-hot-hot dry. You can blacken other fish, but you might have to finish it in the oven to be safe. Sushi-grade salmon would be good, too.
We walked around, and came back for the chocolate smoothie. We didn't get a taste, but their booth was handing out samples of their organic ice cream, which was incredibly good. I don't know what % of the current generation of kids can't eat there. They use nuts in everything. The chocolate smoothie has "nut milk" instead of dairy milk.
We tried the flacos.com which was pretty good. And we were nostalgic for the funnel cake, so we had one of that, too. Not as good as we remember it from the Pennsylvanian Dutch folks, but recall memory is known to be faulty.
