The food was once again a high point at the Fleurs de Fete. Obviously, many restaurant owners view the festival, rightfully so, as a chance to impress prospective patrons. And they came from as far away as Sidney to do it. And remember: these restaurants donate all of the food and the labor to make this happen. For some, Sundays are their only days off. Not Fleurs Sunday. They worked. They deserve our gratitude.
My top research associate — with whom I share a bed and a last name — visited a strong majority of the food booths at the Fleurs de Fete as part of the exhaustive work of being married to, well, me. Here’s which restaurants were there, and what they were serving (and if I left anybody out or got anything wrong, please post a comment to correct me!):
TomKatz: These folks put out quite a spread — a small meal unto itself, while it lasted. Baby octupus salad, a chorizo sausage wrapped in wonton, lobster empenada with lime aioli, gazpacho, a smoked mussel — all new dishes just for the Fleurs.
