text: Just about the worst event I could imagine My brother and his wife were in town and I was embarrassed to have taken them to an event like this I also treated a chef friend of mine to it and even though he did not pay for his ticket I was also sorry to have brought him as well nIll just quickly rehash all the issuesnn Lines were way too long You stood in line for minutes at a time for at most a few bites of foodn The food when you got it was not good There were some standouts but most of the places served terrible food Even great places I know like Raku dipped their meat in a bucket of teriyaki saucen Special shout out to Jet Tila and Eddie Huang for perhaps the worst experience of the night Subjected to a long line while the chefs and his buddies took time out to booze it up spend minutes at a time talking to who knows whom and the chef himself light heartedly but LOUDLY chastising one of his cooks for apologizing for the wait with this gem Hey man do not ever apologize for how long it takes to produce art Art being dry terrible bao bun an overcooked pork belly and over sauced short rib in the taco I mean they DRENCHED that taco in sauce And the sauce was gross I guess the tortilla for the taco was fine though I had to give a special shout out to those jackasses Because their food is nowhere near good enough to have that kind of ego n Many of the vendors closed TWO HOURS before the event ended What nnI like the idea And I would give it another chance But triple the number of vendors or do not put it on groupon and keep the number of people down It was absolutely ridiculousnnI will give a positive not sarcastic shoutout to Shirley Chung of China Poblano That sandwich and those ribs were delicious
