It’s the middle of June, so that means we’re getting closer and closer to the Atlantic City Wine & Food Festival in Atlantic City, New Jersey! I’m super excited about it this year. It’s going to be so much fun, and it’ll be so nice to get away for the weekend. As I said in my previous post, the festival runs from July 28 – 31, 2011.
Did you buy your tickets yet? If not, what are you waiting for?!
I’m going to four different events, and I’m sure they’ll be a lot of fun! Here’s what I have on the agenda…
Friday July 29, 2011:
Guy Fieri’s Cheese Steak Battle
Time: 9:00pm – 12:00am
Saturday July 30, 2011:
Time: 10:00am – 1:00pm
Join Sunny Anderson for some Sliders and Spirits on the Rooftop Pool at Caesar’s!
So it looks like Saturday is going to be a busy day, but it will definitely be worth it! I’m sure after Guy’s brunch I’ll need a nice long nap to prepare for Sunny’s fun festivities that evening!
If you’re going to the Atlantic City Wine and Food Festival, what events are you attending?
Why, yes, I am attending ACFWF.
With you! To all of those events. Just got my ticketmaster mailing yesterday.
This was the worst event I ever attended and I’m seriously disappointed as a loyal food network fan.
With a name like “Guy Fieri’s Cheesesteak Battle”, I assumed 2 things: (1) It would be a “battle” like iron chef or chopped and (2) Guy Fieri would actually be there…like a host or MC. Neither of which were true.
Event was outside in 90 degree heat, it was muggy and started raining. You had to wait in overcrowded lines for cheesesteaks and walk through grass which turned to mud. My wife and her heals didn’t appreciate this at all.
We paid $80 a ticket because we thought we were going to a 3 hr event/show, INDOORS, with FOOD NETWORK QUALITY CHEFS…NOPE. Cheesesteaks were from sub-par establishments and chain restaurants. Lee’s Hoagies had the best steak and it was a 6 on a scale of 1-10 for anyone who has ever been to philly.
We left after an hour and a half so maybe Guy eventually showed his face. I don’t really care, it was an awful event that took advantage of Guy’s fans by attaching his name to it. I had come to expect more from the Food Network brand.
