The Best Bites of Taste Washington’s Grand Tasting

This year the Grand Tasting at Taste Washington brought together hundreds of Washington wineries and some damn good food from our delicious city. I like wine, a lot, but y’all probably already know that the food was the main attraction for me (though I did drink some hella good wine that weekend). I think I ate pretty much everything that was being offered, here are my top dishes of the weekend:
