Hello Lovelies,
This past weekend in Las Vegas was the annual Foodie Fest. It has food from local places around the Las Vegas area as well as other states such as California. I have never attended Foodie Fest in the past, not because I didn’t want to go I just always had work. Well this year my job requires me to go to foodie fest YAY! I absolutely loved it! I can’t believe I have been missing out on some really awesome places… Foodie fest is a 3-day food event with carnival rides, live music, boutique shops and of course tons of food and drinks! I know I said I had to go to Foodie fest for work and I did, but not all three days. I have been very busy these past couple of weeks therefore not a new post in over a week… I apologize Lovelies. I have a lot of exciting things to share with you though from these past couple of weeks. Within the past month two of my friends have gotten engaged and I took both of their engagement photos. It was so fun and beautiful and I can’t wait to share them with you. Also this past Saturday I had tickets to see Jessie James Decker with some of my girlfriends. We did happy hour at Katsuya inside SLS, they have the best happy hour for any sushi lover! I will be sharing all the dishes we had and just how great happy hour is next Monday!
Now back to Foodie Fest! I arrived Sunday afternoon around 2 and walked around checking out all the different types of food and was trying to make a decision on my first stop. Remember how I said I went out Saturday night? Well I was feeling it Sunday so what caught my eye was a Buffalo chicken sandwich with hot sauce, caramelized onions and blue cheese crumbles it was hang over heaven! This lovely lifesaver was from a food truck “Devilicious” they had this exact sandwich, but on French fries along with a garlic parmesan and much more. I paired my sandwich with strawberry lemonade from “Liam’s Lemonade stand” I loved how refreshing the lemonade was with fresh strawberries added it was the perfect amount of sweet.
While I was eating I had two Lovely people sit with me Sally and Jacobo they shared with me their experience at Foodie Fest and Jacobo said he attends every year. We all decided to check out “Fluff Ice” to have some dessert they specialize in shaved snow ice cream. I tried the Thai tea because I love, love, love Thai tea! It tastes just like the drink and was pretty creamy. Sally tried their frosted milk drink and shared a Thai tea ice cream with Jacobo. Fluff Ice offers stamp cards for every order over $4 and after nine purchases you get a med drink or ice cream for free! Who doesn’t like free stuff for getting what you love!
After dessert my friend Ally and Will showed up and we went and got drinks from the Station’s Casino stand draft beer right off the tap! Yum! After walking around playing games we went to this Louisiana food stand “Pearson’s” , where they were grilling shrimp right in front of you, the smell carried through the isle where we were walking and we had to stop and try some dishes! I am a huge fan of spicy food as I have mentioned before so getting the Jambalaya was a must! I told the cook extra spicy who was grilling the shrimp he was so friendly and nice he made sure it had a kick to it! My friend Ally got the catfish po’boy and hush puppies. Everything was very good and very homemade tasting felt like I traveled to the South.
My Lovely boyfriend finally joined me at Foodie Fest after all the football games finally ended... (Men and football!) He was hungry of course and a large stick of shrimp someone was carrying around caught his attention! It was at least a 20-inch stick filled with grilled shrimp, it came from “Nic’s” the line had at least 20 people in it, but it was worth the wait! Those shrimps were so delicious! We met up with more friends and continued to walk around and continue eating and drinking. I saw my two of my favorite trucks “Dragon Grill” and “Oming’s Kitchen” I had to stop by for a bite! My boyfriend had the combo dish from Dragon Grill with all their top sellers Dragon fries, taco, and a slider. It is the perfect trio to keep you coming back! I stopped by “Oming’s Kitchen” to see the Lovely Salome she is the sweetest! I got my favorite Chicken bowl with a little siracha on top…Yum!
Look Steve Aoki loves Frach's fried ice cream too!
After that is was time for dessert again! Fried ice cream was calling our name so we headed over to “Frach’s” and enjoyed some out of this world ice cream! I wish this truck was a local, California is it’s home until the next Foodie event! My overall experience was so much fun! I am so happy I got to attend finally and enjoy all the wonderful places to eat drink, I will be back next year fa sure! Thank you Foodie Fest for letting me partake in this event and I look forward to your next lovely visit!
