Color stations at PFTS.
I just listened to the review of PFTS. I was there that night!
I've done this event a number of times the past few years and there used to be a reason for the colors. It used to be that you would recieve a brochure that listed all the wines and foods by the color station. This way you would not only know all the foods that were being offered but also where to find them. I thought that the brochure this year was a big dissapointment, I told every suit that would listen that evening.
My friends and I do a mom's weekend and attend this event each year. We stay at the Boardwalk and dress up for a special evening. While I do enjoy the evening very much, I have found the rush for a table NOT a nice way to start the evening. I also thought the food offerings were not quite as great as in the past. Also the performers, while quite talented, were not Cirque as in the past, but some other troupe.
We still enjoyed ourselves - we had a table - don't mess with 7 soccer mom's on a mission! I agree that they should add more tables. While I understand the idea that you walk around and stop just to eat at a table and move on, that is not what people really want to do. And it is especially inconvenient if you have a large party.
We enjoyed the wine and the food, you were right about the crab and mac and cheese. It was great and we had a very nice conversation with the chef. Also the pulled pork was a big hit with us as well - but if we are talking about the same dish - it was actually pulled turkey (now think of how much healthier you feel). The lack of a brochure listing the food made it tough to tell what was being offered as people did tend to crowd around the sign.
Anyway, sad I missed the oppertunity to say "Hi", thanks for this review - it was fun to relive it...and for all the reviews that you do.
