the green corn project: part two

after walking
the grounds for
twenty minutes,
i decided to check
out the vendors.

i decided to feed
my inner new yorker
with the fresh pizza
from Bola.

tomato sauce, mozzarella, and truffle oil

the godfather 

the godfather ingredient list

the magherita pizza

i loved the magherita and the 

truffle oil one.

next culinary dish was from

the natural epicurean, a 

culinary school located in austin.

they were offering

two different types of

bruschetta:

pesto-like base topped with sweet peppers

a pumpkin puree topped with micro greens

i adored the pumpkin one

as the flavors were

perfect companions.

24 diner were

there also, and had

the best rye bread

i've ever tasted.

the were making

pastrami, sauerkraut

and cheese sandwiches,

but since i don't eat red meat,

i kept grabbing

the rounds of bread.

dessert was extensive

to say the least.

started with this

odd combination

of spiced pumpkin cheesecake

topped with red chile mole

and a sliver of

ginger marinated pear.

barley swine's odd dessert.

i still don't know

if i like this or not.

the flavors were so

complex to the point 

they were too overwhelming.

so good.

confituras was

handing out

bags of homemade

caramel popcorn.

this stuff is addictive.

they also were sampling

mini brioche buns with

apple butter and pumpkin jam.

i will be purchasing

the apple butter.

teo gelato satiated

me with their

chocolate gelato

which was so creamy and perfect,

i ate it when it was around 48 

degrees outside.

love the pink

spoon!

hoover's was

there and they

had this really good

bean lettuce wrap

that was perfect.

whole foods made

a cranberry, goat cheese

kale salad that helped

clean your plate, i mean

palate.

well that 

concludes the two-part

green corn project

for 2011.

see you there next

year!
