A town that prides itself on great eateries in a small area, has a new restaurant added to it’s roster. It takes a confident chef to jump into the maelstrom and expect to succeed. Red Bank, NJ can boast that it has a Peruvian restaurant now. Those little bites of delicious surprises I tasted, have me itching to go back for a full meal.
Delicious, well prepared food isn’t always beautiful, and beautiful food is often tasteless. Such is the situation encountered over and over again at large scale events.

The Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ had a three evening, two day, foodie packed schedule this weekend, with the logistics of this event being nothing short of mesmerizing.

Andrew Zimmern was on the stage Friday night, while Giada de Laurentiis took her turn on Saturday night. Both familiar food network names, filled the theatre seats.
