Sunday was Taste of Arlington, which was a good event, but crowded, which is to be expected. Willow had an amazingly flavorful brisket and chorizo chili, and they handed out the printed recipe. Toby’s Ice Cream (in the Old Scoop Beauregard’s spot in Westover) is new to me and quite good.
After Taste of Arlington, we attended Sound Bites, where we listened to the Pie Tasters, and ate food from Casa Nonna, Cork, District 2, Eatonville, Evening Star Café, Harry’s Smokehouse, Indique, Jaleo, Mandu, Mie N Yu, Policy, Radius Pizza, Rappahonack Oysters, Taylor Gourmet, and Toki Underground as well as five of the area’s hottest food trucks including Sabor’a Street and DC Empanadas.” Some standouts were dangerously Delicious Pies (they had apple and pecan), DC Empanadas’ “traditional empanada,” Taylor Gourmet’s hoagies, Casa Nonna’s gnocchi, and Dolcezza’s pairing of salt ice cream with peanut ice cream.
