Ninth Avenue Food Festival 2007

I’ve lived here so long I guess I don’t feel a need to spend too much of the Food Festival weekend walking around Ninth Avenue but I did a little wander and here’s a picture:

Ninth Avenue International Food Festival 2007

I ate a plate of paella from Costa del Sol – which probably wasn’t the best paella in the world but I haven’t had any seafood for a while and I can always eat rice so I was happy enough. Plus, it was an inexpensive sampler.

This is my favorite part about the Food Festival. All the local restaurants bring their food specialties out to the street. So you get dishes that aren’t at every other street fair around town. And you know the food is cooked in a restaurant kitchen. Where the food is kept in refrigerators and the staff have access to bathroom facilities where they can wash their hands.

Hey, it’s worth thinking about.
