A Savory Sail through Savannah

My, oh My! What a way to spend the evening  tasting the best of the culinary best here in a foodies paradise, Savannah, GA. Thursday November 18th was the Taste of Savannah at the Savannah International Trade and Convention Center hosted by the Tourism Leadership Council Upon entering the  venue you could feel the excitement. The stage was set for the “Swingin Medallions” to perform hits from Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, The Fifth Dimension, Ray Charles, The Temptations, The Delfonics and Marvin Gaye. Just as we were choosing a table to sit down, a server passed by with a fabulous hors d’oeuvre. This first taste was ” Savannah Breeze Lobster and Mango Margarita”(had to eat it with a spoon) from Hyatt Regency Savannah. Wow was all we could say.  Now it was onto our first table with the “Fried Grouper Sandwich and Low Country Chowder” from Savor Savannah Catering.  Scrumptious!!! I think I was full after just tasting these 2 lucious temptations but had to go on for  more. We now were at the Vic’s on the River table with the “Low Country Lump Crab Spring Roll”,  luscious! Next we were at the River House Seafood table with a “Mini Seafood Strudel and the “Crisp Bluffton Oysters” from 45 Bistro. Again, Incredible!  “Butternut Squash Risotto” from Belford’s and “Crab Ravioli Meatballs” from Tapas by Anna was the next taste. I am truly full. BUT had to go on!! How can anyone eat all of this? “Shrimp Scampi” from Gaibaldi’s, “Lump Crab Cake” from DeSoto Grille and “Pan Seared Scallops” at Aqua Star’s table. I just could not go on. But guess what? The “French Cassoulet” from The Culinary Institute of Savannah, another favorite with me. Then the chocolate bread pudding from Boar’s Head Tavern was a to die for dessert. After that, I really was too full to thoroughly enjoy my food. I cannot even describe the rest of the Tastes. No one person should have to go through this torture we succombed to that evening. A food lover’s paradise of tastes!
