Anyway the line was a cluster frick and the lines to get food at the start were a free for all. After about an hour things got better and there was plenty of good dishes.
This. Concentrated on the many Buffalo Trace tables and the free cigar table when we first got there. Then washed out the mouth with some water and had our fill of food after most of the crush was gone. Oddly, I found Emeril's offering to be one of the most bland.
I liked the monkfish liver and lobster boudin.... not something you get every day. Also Tory McPhales antelope(?) boudin was real good. Donald Link's classic boudin was also very good. And there was a duck one that I remember I liked.
Good Food, Good Liquor, Live music, decent Cigars....
A very successful evening.
Unfortunately, a good thing does draw a crowd.
Tix were $75 ea/in advance
$100 ea. late order/at door
ETA: John Galliano's smoked duck and Oyster boudin was very good with the homemade sweet pickles..

PROS:
Food was VERY, VERY good and with the exception of the monkfish liver, no other booths ran out of food. I was very sad that I didn't get to try the monkfish liver.
It was great to see the chefs serving food at their booths. Tory McPhail, Emeril, Mario Batali, John Besh, Sue Zemanick, etc.
Music line up was solid.
Lines for alcohol and food never took a long time.
CONS:
It took 45 minutes just to get in the door.
It was WAY too crowded. I didn't find any of the lines to be too long, but it was very hard to move around and truly enjoy the event.
SIDE NOTE:
I found it very interesting that the worst thing that I ate all evening was from Emeril's table. It was just plain bad. Mario Batali's was 2nd worst. His wasn't bad. It just wasn't good.
Tory McPhail's boudin was probably my favorite.

Did anybody else try the cheese that was on the spoons from St. James Cheese Company? It was awesome.

St. James was out of cheese by the time I got to their table.

Agree with all of the above. Still a great event but had more fun last year due to the crowds/lines. BlackenedOut's boudin cake was excellent.

The boudin itself is Andrew Shuford of Hoof and Cleavers recipe.
I am pretty sure Boudin, bourbon and Beer will be in another location next year.

went inside about 845/9 or so, and La Boca was out of food as well as another booth right near it, which slips my mind at the moment.
