West Chester Restaurant Festival 2008

News

Bridget and I went to the Chester County Restaurant Festival in downtown West Chester borough today.  We got there early this year, and were very glad we did.  Parking was very difficult to get by the time we left for the day, and it also got very crowded.  This year’s selection was excellent as always, and we were lucky to get another beautiful day as well!

We had some bruschetta and cannoli’s first at Trattoria Alberto.

Then we headed straight over to Gilmore’s, since they usually sell out of food pretty early each year.  I had some Corn Dog Shrimp with Honey Truffle Sauce…. this was outstanding and is easily my vote for best dish.  Peter looked like he was having a great time cooking and socializing with his customers, and everyone I saw was enjoying his food.

I then got some egg rolls and General Tso’s chicken at Margaret Kuo’s.  I get the egg roll each year, which is the best egg roll you can get.  This year, I also tried the General Tso’s and Sweet and Sour chicken, which were also both outstanding.

Bridget also tried the Pumpkin Ravioli with Butternut Squash sauce at Carlino’s.  It was very good, just a little too sweet for her taste.

And before going home, we also had to get some Goshen Fire Company Fair Donuts for desert!
