FOODSTOCK

Light rain, mud up to your ankles and cool temperatures didn't stop the crowd from flocking to Michael Statlanders FOODSTOCK on Sunday, which drew up to 28,000 people! There were 100 participating chefs, and with the spread out set up, getting around was muddy but pretty easy. Some lineups were outrageous, The Flying Chestnut had a 1 hour lineup by 3pm, but for the most part we waited an average of 10 min. Statlander was serving up a potage of sorts, with tons of harvest veggies including brussel sprouts and served in a cabbage leaf. Other highlights were Cafe Belong chef Brad Long shucking oysters, Kaiseki Sakura was hay smoking marinated fish served on sliced daikon garnished with onion and garlic from Eigensinn Farm, Hasaii Bakery's German style apple pie with spiced whipped cream, and so so many more. If you weren't there here a few pictures of the event.
