We went into Reston at lunchtime to have a look at the second day of 'Taste of Reston' and have some lunch. Two years ago we walked there, leaving all ID at home and had to get special permission from the organiser to be allowed a wristband which meant we could sample or buy alcohol.
This time we had the ID but with temperatures rising well into the 30's alcohol would not have been a good idea! The fountain looked very tempting though.
When we were there it was just the start of the second day and was quiet but it evidently got a lot busier. (Photo borrowed from Taste of Reston Facebook page).
There are many stalls run by local restaurants selling tiny taster meals and demonstrations like this one - sushi making. This is not our photo, it is again from Facebook but if you look closely we are in the background!
We only stayed for an hour - long enough to try out a few tasters such as smoked pork belly with bitter orange and fennel slaw and watermelon gazpacho!
Was wondering this AM where was you Sat blog, that spoiled my morning!!!! You have to be nuts to walk in a crowed like that!
ReplyDeleteIt must be quite a nightmare keeping the food fresh in that kind of temperatures. I am impressed with the attempts to control the drinking by the ID checks.
