This year, I kept it pretty simple at the New York City Wine & Food Festival. Instead of snapping a billion photos, I only whipped out the camera for a few items that I wanted to remember in particular. I do wish I recorded some video of the kitchen staging tour we got behind the scenes of some of the ShopRite booths. But anyway, three pics. First, a mountain of beef bones that served as a stage for holding baked clams.

Next, wagyu beef. This was a tray of rump roast.

And finally, Strip House’s table had these awesome pig heads on display, where they were serving delicious bacon with fresh apple.

That’s it. Nice and quick.
