As you might already know, I spent the weekend in Monterey, on the 2009 wine escapes tour. The event was amazing and the organizers did such a phenomenal job making the event a great success. We did lots of wine tasting, which we have talked allot about, so over the next few days we will tell you a bit about the food.

Chef Bunyan Fortune chef at the La Playa Hote  located on Camino Real at Eighth Ave. Carmel put together the best Macaroni & Cheese I have ever tasted. Personally I love that he chose to feed the worlds most prestigious and uptight wine writers Mac and Cheese, with a few upgrades.
