Tomorrow the Knott's Boyselberry Festival begins it's 3rd year and the other night we were invited out for a preview of this years event to try some of the new food, some of the wine vendors and talk with the people who put on the event. 

​Be sure to check out all of the info on the Festival here.

Before we get started we also put together a little video of the chef's talking about the new food for this year, which was all excellent. 
After a 3 hour drive it was nice to see this sign and know that good food was close. (Stupid LA Traffic)
Picture
I think one of the most underrated things about the invention of the Boysenberry Festival has been all of the Berry Market goods that have come along with it. So much stuff to choose from. 
Picture
The Salsa is new and the Boysenberry Chipotle is amazing. 
Picture
The Boysenberry Butter and Mustard are new. Will have to try them tomorrow. 
Picture
Lots of great wine vendors. Being a red wine man myself I didn't try any of the white wine's. I'll have my wife try some of those tomorrow. She'll be heartbroken. =) 
Picture
Before we get started on the food, I just want to commend Knott's and their entire food team for the amazing culinary turnaround they've made the last few years. 

For those of you long time fans of the park you'll remember that 5 or 6 years ago most of us would actually leave the park to eat. It was typical "theme park food". And now there are just so many great things to eat whether it's Boysenberry Festival or a Tuesday in October. 

New for this year ... The Fun Stick!!! Boysenberry Cheesecake dipped in Funnel Cake batter and fried ... on a stick. Amazing. 
Picture
Wings with "the sauce". 
Picture
Pulled Pork with "the sauce" and cold slaw. Amazing. 
Picture
Chicken sandwich with Boysenberry Mayo
Picture
The Boysenberry beer is back, or as seen below, Boysenberry Beer mixed with Berry Cider. 
Picture
Short Ribs!!! 
Picture
Picture
Boysenberry Meatballs. They actually had these at a few media events last year and they are pretty amazing. They'd be great on a sandwich. 
Picture
Boysenberry Trifle!!! 
Picture
The Boysenberry Lemonade is VERY tart, but I loved it. 
Picture
The Alligator Bites are back this year
Picture
And lastly the Boysenberry Panna Cotta which was probably my favorite "dessert" thing that was new this year. It's perfectly made and very creamy and delicious.

Next week we'll have our full Boysenberry Festival report including more food, entertainment and more and since we'll be at the park I guess we'll take a look at Ghostrider construction. Don't forget, as the park announced yesterday, Ghostrider will now be opening in June. We do not have a specific date yet. 

Also don't forget that there will be a Boysenberry Eating Contest tomorrow featuring Joey Chestnut at 2:00pm. 

Thanks for checking out our Boysenberry Festival preview and if you happen to be going tomorrow let us know, we'd love to say hi.
