Let me start off by saying three things: 1) festivals, especially food festivals in my opinion generally suck, 2) I wasn’t giving this one much of a chance by bailing on two of the events I had tickets for to pick apples, and 3) I absolutely, positively hate (like spit flinging, cursing, and death eyes hate) Rachael Ray. If you disagree with me… well, just don’t. Now that we got that over with, I attended two events at the New York Wine & Food Festival this year.
