Last Wednesday Moviesandfood made it out to Taste of Somerville in Davis Square. I had heard good things about it and it didn't disappoint. I pad $75 for a VIP ticket because I'm not a peasant, I'm not an idiot either, a normal ticket was $60 why wouldn't you throw an extra $15? While some were turned off by the price considering it was a 2 hour event, as usual, moviesandfood said challenge accepted! $75 worth of food and drink in two hours? You kidding? While the peasants were waiting in line to get in, being Very Important, I was double fisting Red Bones ribs and a local IPA in no time. The assortment of foods there was unbelievable, southern comfort, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, seafood, American, there were times I didn't even know what I was eating. I even threw up in my mouth after eating a nasty piece of fish, but hey, it's all part of the experience. And if the diverse array of foods wasn't enough, the music was even more unpredictable. They started with some summer hits of the '90's, and by the end of it people were salsa dancing next to the Holiday Inn Express food stand that was serving Italian food, interesting combo but somehow it worked.
Great day for it too, 80 degrees and sunny. Not gonna lie I broke a sweat a couple times, whether it be because I was body checking people in line, getting the meat sweats, or shoveling spicy tacos down my throat from Ana's Taquiria, every time I felt pit stains coming on I'd stroll under the VIP tent to cool down with some delicious pretty girl drinks.
All in all it was a great event. I definitely recommend the VIP pass. My only complaints are it wasn't bigger and longer (that's what she said!), how is this event not an all day Saturday thing? And they should definitely shut down Davis square for it, maybe get some live music? Some eating competitions? Think big Taste of Somerville!
