TAGS: tasting, pebble beach, monterey

In the past few years, we've made it a point to attend one event at the Pebble Beach Food and Wine festival.  They get the really famous chefs from all over the country - lots of guys from Chicago this time especially.

Unfortunately, the Thursday tasting was quite crowded - not so much in terms of having to wait for food, but in terms of one's ability to move about.  We've been to events before at the Inn at Spanish Bay, but this one seemed more crowded than most.
