Cheese Spread — Murray’s Cheese
Several different types of cheese, a savory boar salami, some olives and baked cheese sticks drew long lines around the cheese empire’s stand throughout the entire event.
Pintxos Morunos — Boqueria
Tender lamb skewers paired with pickled shallots and a bright salsa verde were a fan favorite — luckily the chefs were able to keep up with demand of the hungry attendees.
Red-wine sangria-marinated skirt steak paired perfectly with crispy dressed lettuce for a scrumptious bite that had guests coming back for seconds and thirds.
Salmon Pastrami — The Stanton Social
For tons of classic New York flavors in bite-size portions, eventgoers reached for house-cured salmon pastrami, horseradish cream cheese and pickled mustard seeds atop crispy rye toast.
Tuna “Crudo” — Barraca
We heard several guests oohing and aahing at the complex flavors delivered in the melt-in-your-mouth raw bluefin tuna paired with briny fried capers, black truffle aioli and crunchy garlic chips.
Eggplant, Goat Cheese and Honey Crostini — Huertas
Roasted eggplant with silky goat cream cheese topped with honey made for a bite that straddled the line between sweet and savory; it was perfectly scrumptious.
White chocolate truffles filled with yuzu and sansho, a citrus-flavored Japanese spice, were the perfect sweet bites to round out an evening of decadence.
