We turn into CAVE PEOPLE. Voracious, thirsty, hungry cavemen and women. Wildly primitive desires emerged at last night’s Choice Eats event, as men and women aggressively made their way to the front of the shoelace-long lines, grabbed for the largest meat-covered crostini, shrimp roll, and bowl of salted caramel ice cream, and ran around with toppled food platters and sauce-covered fingers.

 

So we were full after 15 minutes, or we have some frou-frou diet to attend to. Who cares! For one night, we went wild. And it was oh-so-necessary.

 

Here’s our guided photo tour of the evening’s best:

 

 

Doughnut Plant’s peanut butter glaze and blackberry jelly donut. I’m still full, but I’m still craving this. 

 

 

Scrumptious sausages at Kafana.

 

 

Bep’s mango salad makes healthy delicious. 

 

 

Ample Hills Creamery’s Salted Crack Caramel ice cream. Made with salted butter caramel ice cream and bits of their "crack." Aptly named. 

 

 

Mile End’s smoked meat bun. Sweet. Fluffy. Meaty. 

 

 

Fried brussel sprouts topped with yogurt, tahini, and pomegranate sauce. Tanoreen does it again. 

 

 

The Good Batch’s chocolate chip cookies. So soft, but chewy, yet doughy. An enigma, actually.

 

 

Fay Da Bakery’s pork bun. Always the best.

 

 

S’mores Bakery. Toasted right infront of you. 

 

 

Ditch Plains’ mac ‘n’ cheese-covered hot dog. It’s worth the heart attack.
