Curious as to what some of the best bites of the night were? The Korean tacos from Coppelia Restaurant, the 'four alarm' chili from Butcher Bar, the pulled pork sliders from Dinosaur BBQ, and the ditch dogs from Ditch Plains were among the most scrumptious, while a scoop of mango sorbet from Ciao Bella was a perfectly refreshing way to wash it all down. That being said, not one spot disappointed and there really were too many places to talk about them all! You'll have to just check it out for yourself next year if you really want the scoop on this great event.
