NYCWFF Grand Tasting 2016

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.

Hand Pulled Noodles Class

My buddy scored some tickets to this cool Xian Foods noodle pulling class at the New York City Wine & Food Festival, and he was kind enough to bring me along.

Basically, they taught us how to make dough, and then gave us some pre-made dough and all the ingredients to make some delicious tingly beef noodles, which has become so popular at their restaurants. Here is the man behind the brand, along with some wheat flour noodle dough:

And here is a video of me pulling my noodle:

And then some all-important final photos, and behind the scenes action of us taking photos.
