 This past weekend we found ourselves back in a very familiar place, Knott's Berry Farm. It was opening weekend for their all new Taste of Boysenberry Festival, and it was so amazing to be back. If you've been following us for awhile you'll know that we really haven't been up to much over the past year, for obvious reasons. But we're so glad you've all stuck with us now that we feel semi-comfortable being out in the world again. We hope you're ready for some gratuitous food pics, because they're coming right at ya. And we'll end with the top 5 food items we tried! Written by Gregg Condon Pics by Gregg, Hillary Starbright and Kristi Condon Hi Knott's! It's so good to be back! We're ready for all the Boysenberry stuff!  Our first stop was of course for some Boysenberry Dippin Dots, and they were amazing! Backstory on the shirt, my sister got me this shirt and gave it to me when we picked her up for this event, and I just had to wear it! Got so many comments on it throughout the day.  Ready for some food pics? You've been warned!!  Dippin Dots goodness. Didn't get any park tips from the Dippin Dots gal though.  Boysenberry Beef Stew with a biscuit  Boysenberry BBQ Brisket Mac and Cheese  Boysenberry Beer and Boysenberry Cider  Masks off only in designated places!!  Boysenberry Brisket Tater Tots topped with Crispy Jalapeño Chips and a Boysenberry Aioli Sauce. This was seriously legit and I want more of it right now.  Pork Bao Buns with a Boysenberry Kimchi and Nam Pla. They need to jar this Kimchi!  Mac and Cheese Bites over Tater Tots with a Boysenberry Siracha Ketchup  My sister hadn't been to Knott's since she was about 9, so we had to of course do some of the awesome Knott's traditions.  After all that savory stuff, it was time for some dessert. "Hint of Lemon" Churro Bites with a White Chocolate Sugar and a Boysenberry and Chocolate Dipping Sauce.  Boysenberry Key Lime Tart  There have also been some park improvements going on and the park looks amazing!    I think this is new? Even if it's not, it looks great!  Found RD's spot!! Back to the food!  Frozen Boysenberry Mai Tai  Cheeseburger with a Boysenberry Onion Spread on a Brioche Bun. Have to say, didn't get a whole lot of Boysenberry in this one. Hard to overpower the flavor of onions. Still tasty.  Boysenberry Flavored Shrimp and Grits. This was good, but they should have used the same shrimp as the shrimp taco (see below)  Boysenberry Balsamic Brussel Sprouts. These were actually quite tasty, but again, hard to overpower the flavor of Brussel Sprouts.  Boysenberry BBQ Meatloaf with Scalloped Potatoes. This was definitely more "Boysenberry Salisbury Steak", but still very tasty we thought.  Boysenberry Champagne Float. Very tasty.  Fiesta Village was a popular place, but plenty of seating for all!  Soon supreme scream. Soon!  Boysenberry Slushy Sangria  Chef Special Tamale with a Boysenberry Roja Sauce over Spanish Rice. Was very happy with this, it was a darn good tamale!  Shrimp Taco with Cabbage Slaw and a Boysenberry Salsa. THIS is the Shrimp they should have used for the Grits!!  The park looks amazing!   Our last stop of the day was over by Ghostrider. Beer Cheese Soup in a Bread Bowl with a Boysenberry Drizzle and Brown Butter Croutons.  Boysenberry BBQ Carne Asada Pizza Slice with Cilantro and Onions  Boysenberry Bread Pudding with a Creme Anglase  Magic Hour at Knott's is always amazing!   It was an amazing day at Knott's, and we will definitely be back for more Boysenberry Treats soon! As promised, our top 5! The Knott's Taste of Boysenberry Festival runs through May 2nd.
