Best Eats

Our favorite food items, in no particular order!

Carbonara Pizetta from LA Style

This small flatbread is made with white sauce, Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Bacon, and a black pepper drizzle for $8.

We loved that most of the flavor is garlic and parmesan! The bacon wasn’t a super strong flavor, but we liked how the dough wasn’t too thick and didn’t overpower the toppings. The whole pizza was well-balanced and a hit in our books.

Pork Chile Verde Chalupas from Paradise Garden Grill

This is two chalupas filled with pork in salsa verde, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and queso fresco served with Spanish rice and refried beans topped with queso fresco for $14.99.

This totally blew us away! The taco shell was a perfect combination of soft and chewy, and the pork was seasoned so well that the flavors exploded in your mouth. The pork had a bit of a kick, but it was balanced by the lettuce, tomato, and lime.

Aguachile Loaded Chips from Paradise Garden Grill

For $13.49, you can grab these zesty chips topped with lime-cooked shrimp, fresh cucumbers, and red onion with aguachile salsa.

Another hit from Parade Garden Grill! We felt like every chip was perfectly seasoned, and the agua chili salsa had layers of flavor. The chili powder provided a kick, and there’s some in the salsa verde as well, but nothing too crazy. There were so many flavors, and we loved that it was all cooled down by the onion and cucumber. The shrimp added an extra flavor without being too briny, and you can even sprinkle lime on top. SO good.

Spinach Artichoke Grilled Cheese at Pym Test Kitchen

This grilled cheese is made with spinach and artichoke on parmesan-crusted sourdough, served with potato bites for $14.99.

The parmesan-crusted bread gave this sandwich incredible crunch without overpowering the flavor. The cheese was perfectly melty and gave us that iconic cheese pull, and the spinach and artichoke flavor really came through. If you love a good spinach artichoke dip, you’ll probably really like this grilled cheese.

Best Drinks

Our favorite drinks of the festival!

Pickle Whisky Sour from Peppers Cali-Ente

This drink is made with bourbon, pickle, and lime juices, and sweet and sour rimmed with Tajin Clasico and Tajin Chile-Lime sauce, and garnished with a pickle spear for $19.25.

We thought this drink was so unique and not something you’d find anywhere else. If you’re someone who could drink pickle juice straight from the jar, you’re going to love this. It had the crispness of a pickle spear, and the Tajin added a nice flavor.

California Punch from California Craft Brews

It’s made with mango puree, guava nectar, cucumber syrup, and lemon juice, garnished with a mango-chile lollipop for $9 and is non-alcoholic.

This was a fun blend of unique and fresh flavors with an emphasis on the fruit. The garnish was flavorful, and it totally rises above your average mocktail. It’s a solid choice for a non-alcoholic option.
