Taste of Anaheim 2014

Mom Samoza gave is some tix for Taste of Anaheim 365 since she isn't able to make it.

It's like a convention showcasing a bunch of popular restaurants
These are some of the restaurants..

McCormick and Schmick's, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Mother's Market, House of Blues, Lucky Strike, Rainforest Cafe, Tortilla Jo's, The Catch, Slater's 50/50, Ruth's Chris Steak House, Roy's Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine, Jazz Kitchen, and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Those were at least the main one's we knew of.

We got there and immediately got our grub on!

Cute Entrance Stamp!


Bubba Gump's potato balls - these were alright. Nothing special


Toby Keith's pork slider - also just okay.


Tilted Kilt's pork slider - these were a bit more flavorful than the last, but still sub par


McCormick & Schmick's bacon wrapped shrimp - these were one of Jeric's fav!


Can't have an event without a free grocery bag! YELP!


Now for upstairs! Us in front of the event background!


Disneyland Resort's poke salad - I didn't try it, but Jeric said it was pretty good


ESPN Zone's caramel carrot cake - very delicious but super rich


ESPN Zone's BBQ pork sliders - soo many freaking sliders..


Disneyland Resort's filet mignon pita dish - the meat was tough for filet mignon


Jazz Kitchen's gumbo - this was finger lickin good


Catal's gazpacho shooters & poached belize shrimp


Blake's Place's BBQ pork slider - yes.. another one of these guys


House of Blues' pork slider - there seems to be a theme here..


Disneyland - Tangaroa Terrace's mango passion fruit parfait - this was my absolute fav!


Rubios' shrimp taco - it was meh.. presentation definitely blah.. the girl actually asked me if I wanted a better looking one. Hahaha. I rejected her offer.. I didn't want to wait for another


American Tavern's burger - I was too full by this time.. I don't remember even eating this


Manhattan's seafood mac & cheese and barron of beef.. the mac & cheese was my fav dish


Rita's italian ice - these were ugh. nothing like Joe's Italian Ice at all


Back downstairs.. they had a back area we didn't check out yet. We were way too full though. That's where they had Slater's 50/50.. but that line was waaay too long

We settled for this burger.. but I forget where from and the sweet potato thing was nasty!


There you have it.. all the food we tried with quick little reviews.

Definitely glad it was free.. we wouldn't pay $40 each for this.
