This is the fifth annual "El Saber del Sabor," Oaxaca's renown gastronomic festival and with each incarnation, it becomes more prestigious, popular and well, better.
We were lucky to get tickets to the opening night and so we ate in the Plaza de Danza, under the eyes of La Soledad, the cathedral.
The tickets were $350 MP ($26.75 US) which was a bit higher than last year, but the food was fantastic and they had the logistics down this time. It was too much... no really, too much. Just look at the offerings from just one of the participants.
And there had to be at least thirty or forty other tables and stations! Here is good friend, Pilar Cabrera, from La Olla restaurant. She has become more and more famous and her cooking classes are some of the best.
Last year we missed the barbacoa from Tuxtepec, but this year.... we were first in line and boy, was it worth it.
The line for this taste treat was sooo long... and it was sooo worth it.... indescribably good.
That would have been enough for the night, but we were just getting started.
Still, we barely managed to scratch the surface of all the offerings. Even if you just took one small bite of everything that was there, well, you would explode. You could never do it.... but it was fun trying even though I may never eat again.... wait, I'm hungry after writing and posting these shots. More in a bit.
