Nice report, thanks for sharing....but of course, now I am hungry. The Ropa Vieja looks really good.

About the Food and Wine Festival... I was looking at the Food & Beverage Sampler plans they have listed on their website. Going off of the prices in the pictures a few post ago, are those plans basically not worth it at all? Or am I missing something?

[anonymouscactus"Excuse me, miss, may I pound my large rooster into your donkey?"]

If you are getting items $4.25 or higher it's worth it. If you are getting items $4.25 or less it's better to pay those separately. Though not a ton, some items and drinks are $7.00+ so you get ahead of the game with the cards pretty easily. Desserts and non alcoholic drinks are usually less than $4.00.

My math was wrong on the Deluxe plan. Okay, the Deluxe plan definitely makes sense to me, but the normal sampler plan is probably too close to call (since the items seem to hover around the 5 dollar range anyways) if you just want sample around casually.

To add to this if you're a pass holder only use the 15 item sampler card on items over $5 because you can get 10% off on individual items.

I wasn't planning on getting beer wednesday but for 40 cents how can I say no.
