Photos: Choice Eats 2014
Brooklyn was in the house at Basketball City last Tuesday night, for the Village Voice’s seventh annual Choice Eats tasting event. La Slowteria, Pickle Shack, Mrs. Dorsey’s Kitchen and Rosamunde Sausage Grill served the big ballers in the VIP area, Robicelli’s, Ovenly, Oddfellows, Butter & Scotch, Ample Hills Creamery and Liddabit wowed with their sweets, and the borough repped in a major way in the main hall, with 23 local restaurants like 606 R&D, Sheep Station, Anella and Pete Zaaz serving pea greens salad, roasted lamb sandwiches, smoked salmon in endive cups and purple potato skin eggrolls (respectively). Get your outtakes and sexy, sexy food shots!
