The 2022 Wine & Food Experience was presented by Talking Stick Resort at Salt River Fields in Salt River Pima – Maricopa Indian Community near to Scottsdale Arizona. The event was held November Saturday November 5th 2022 1-4pm with VIPS starting at 12:00.
There were culinary demonstrations, sommelier and mixology seminars, SAMPLES of FOOD, WINE, and CRAFT BEERS…
We skipped the alcohol and went to try the light bites that awaited us. First stop was Tia Carmen with chef Angelo Sosa himself serving and greeting people.
He actually made small talk with us. He told me that he is changing up his menu. He also thanked up for our visits and told me that he liked my necklace. I told him that we really enjoyed our visits to his restaurant. He served his FORKING FANTABULOUS tuna crudo today.
Next was…..
Chic Chef made mini tasting mozzarella and tomato salads.
Pearl’s mini doughnuts were fresh made to order and came in powdered and cinnamon.
Pool Boys offered tasting sized vegetable tacos that were very tasty.
Next was Lasgidi Cafe that offered a taste of jolif rice.
Sushi Roku offered SUSHI!
tuna crudu
hamachi crudu
Nomad By Food made very complex tiny taste of beef shanks on what might be laffah bread.
Dust Cutter was a no show.
Tash offered ultra mini dinner plates of piri piri steak with cauliflower mash.
Fraser’s Tavern was also there.
They offered-
tri tip sliders, chicken fingers, and butter cake.
Sysco offered shrimp ceviche.
Boars Head offered charcuterie.
If you splurged for VIP you were entitled to a few more wines and two additional tastings.
One was an amazing taste from the modern fine dining restaurant Sel.
It was a tapioca crisp with white miso daikon scallop, black truffle dashi, smoked trout roe, black trumpet and mushroom aioli.
The other VIP taste was from the Hummus Xpress food truck.
It was an ultra mini pita chip with taziki, hummus, vegetable and maybe chicken….We both didn’t think we got chicken but maybe others did?
That was the Wine & Food Experience at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick 2022.
