We’re heading down there this afternoon.
Emily and I came by, but the line is out the door and down the sidewalk. While we didn’t have the ability to wait, I have to assume that this is due to incredible variety and tastiness of the food inside. Someone please report back!
By the time we got there (2:45) the event had sold out and most of the food was gone. We did score one excellent plate of Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles from the Sichuan Gourmet House at Four Corners. The folks I talked too said that there was a fabulous assortment of different noodle dishes earlier in the afternoon.
We stayed for some of the entertainment. My favorite was definitely this Korean drumming group called Samul-Nori Haneul Sori.
It looks like the event was a big hit and will definitely be back next year.
