Chocolate-espresso loaf (chocolate-espresso cake filled with chocolate mousse, topped with dark chocolate ganache and chocolate and white chocolate curls) from the in . This was soooo good. I could have done without the white chocolate curls but they were easy enough to ignore. 1/2

I'd normally have coffee with a dessert like this, but since it was already coffee-based, I felt like actual coffee would interfere with the taste. A nice black tea would have been perfect. I opted for just water in the absence of tea. 2/2

Carbonara garlic mac and cheese with bacon. I usually like this a lot but it was somehow feeling a bit heavy for me yesterday, so I didn't have much of it. I did like it though.

Last day of for us yesterday. Pastrami fries (crinkle-cut fries with cheese sauce, pastrami, SJG sauce and pickles) from . Pretty good serving size. I liked the cheese sauce but the "SJG sauce" (as in SmokeJumpersGrill) was more like a Thousand Island dressing, and the sweetness didn't really fit in for me. 1/2

Yesterday, I also had the shrimp papas locas - cheddar-bacon potatoes with jalapeno cheese sauce and chipotle shrimp. I really enjoyed this dish, which had really nice flavor and heat.

Yesterday, I got to try the chicken lollipop, beer-brined with poblano mashed potatoes, caramelized fennel and fried carrots. Absolutely loved the flavoring on the chicken.

I'm not into the "old fashioned" alcohol drink, but the "frozen old fashioned" intrigued me enough to try it - non-alcoholic bourbon-flavored ice cream, bitters crema, orange zest glaze and cherry spheres. I don't know what bourbon-flavor is, and it was ok as just a regular ice cream but not something I'd get again.

I decided to try the baja-style fish taco even after I realized that it's plant-based. I've tried some plant-based items, to varying degrees of satisfaction. Sadly, this was not one of my better experiences. You can sort of see that the texture vaguely looks like fish once you get past the breading. My issue was that it didn't taste seasoned at all. It was pretty bland. 1/3

It came with cabbage slaw, cilantro-lime crema and pico de gallo, and normally, I appreciate simple accompaniments because it lets the flavor of the fish shine through. With bland not-fish, the taco was pretty boring. Can't recommend this at all. 2/3

I tried to find out what the "fish" was made of, to no avail, because the information wasn't available at the booth. The person helping me was very nice, and she said she had been told it was Impossible fish. I don't blame her, but I doubt what they told her was true, as they would have advertised the branding as such, especially with the Impossible foods booth just across the way. 3/3

So they have a special shirt for for that features some of the food kiosks, including artichokes and avocados, which aren't part of this year's festival. Did foods and merchandising not talk to each other, so that merchandising didn't know that foods wasn't featuring those two booths this year? 1/2

The return of the perennial favorite grilled top sirloin with roasted garlic-gruyere smashed potatoes and black garlic chimichurri. As good as always.

Next up was the BBQ beef brisket slider with smoked white cheddar and dill pickles. I would have liked more of the pickles but otherwise, tasty.

First up was the cheese pizza-flavored wings. I wouldn't describe the flavor as cheese pizza, but I did like the seasoning. I tasted the ranch dip, and it was good. I don't usually dip my wings but I tried a little. The dip just completely masks the flavor of the wings. Nope.

These are the main items that caught my attention for coming to from March 1 to April 22. Lots of new tasty items to try.

And it's interesting that they're offering two versions of the pass, one with four coupons and one with eight coupons. That will come in handy for folks who might not be able to use 8 coupons on their own.
