The Jacksonville Foodfight

OK This was my first time attending the Jacksonville Food Fight. I had some high expectations as far as food was concerned, and i was excited about how it would be set up and how i was going to feel once inside. When we walked in the music was on the smells were amazing and the people sounded wonderful, everyone seemed to be having a great time. It was great to go upstairs and see all the people and the different stations of foods. I mean there was so much food. There was of course your everyday cool spots like hooters, BJ’s and such you had some very good tapas;things you don’t eat everyday, Little but pack much Punch. You also had meatloaf sandwiches, sandwiches that had pulled pork with a lime dressing with a handmade slaw. I mean there were all kinds of venues. I even tried raw meat. OK but it was not too bad when i put some special green salad withit. Now i am one that likes to try all different kinds of food. I would try something once.  I would love to travel and taste stuff like bulls balls, LOL, and Lambs eyeballs, not to mention live squid, i mean it can’t get much better than that besides adding some meal worms and Crickets and lets not forget the ants lava  and ants that when roasted taste like nuts. What! I would be all over that. None the less they had some of the most beautiful cupcakes there, Chocolate fountains, White Chocolate fountains, rice dishes, I mean everything from A-Z and then some. The spirits were great. However, for me there was one that stood out the most and this was a simple margarita  now with this margarita he made it right there on the spot but he added another  liquor to the mix and that was the best thing i had tasted all night! It wasn’t too strong it was perfect! And guess what i have never like margaritas! but i feel in love with this one.That was a good ass margarita. Now i must admit as far as food nothing really made me say wow that was awesome there was nothing i went back twice to taste. I was very excited when i saw the crab cake factory there because i have never tried them on my outings, so to see them there was great because I had been talking about going there.I was a bit full but i just had to try these crab cakes i just knew my mouth was going to be happy. I was like what in the world is this. It was mushy it was just not appealing i ended up throwing it away and i felt bad because damn this is an event to bring awareness to hunger here in Jacksonville and providing for those that don’t have so i kinda felt bad about throwing it away, but i was so disappointed. However, I’m not going to hold it against them i will just have to go in and have a seat at the Crab Cake Factory and hopefully they will change my opinion. There were 2 floors of food and beverages. I also enjoyed the frozen drinks, they had pina colada and mango it was awesome. I was like the girl in pulp Fiction “I Said Got Damn” The cool thing about them is that you can have this delivered to your event and they will set you up and all you have to do is prove the alcohol. So i look forward to having this at our upcoming event. You will love it. So here are some pictures i took so that you could get a feel for who was there. I wish i could allow you to smell and taste what i did. I look forward to the 20th Annual FoodFight. I had a nice time. This is an event that you wouldn’t want to do alone even tho you can meet others i think it’s so much more fun with a friend but still mix and mingle. So if you didn’t get a ticket you need to make sure to get your tickets for the next one. It’s for a great cause and it also brings awareness to the fact that the food banks are seeing a rise in the amount of people coming to for help to feed themselves or their family and like i say there’s nothing stopping you or i  from begin in that position, and if that were the case you would hope to be able to get help to feed your family. So whenever possible give to the food banks and to others that are trying to help other people. Every little bit helps. So here are some of the pictures from the 19th Annual Jacksonville Foodfight!
