The courtyard of the Phoenix Art Museum was the setting for a gourmet event on Saturday and Sunday called Devoured. Many restaurants participated, showing off some of their best dishes. There were also quite a few wine distributors offering up sips of their vintner’s best. Some of the things I have pictured here are house made “moon pies”, chorizo stuffed dates, an assortment of imported olives, and a gorgeous celebration cake. Some things I tried, but didn’t photograph included a dessert composed of red and yellow beet custard topped with “pop rocks” and a liqueur. They called it “Rocking the Beet”.
It was a beautiful day for a culinary feast.

Your photos help illustrate why you were not able to finish the dessert at dinner on Sunday.
I would have tried the beet concoction, too. Was it good?
Now that looks and sounds like a great event to visit!
Have no idea what moon pies are, but I would try one and also a bit of everything else! :-)
It was gorgeous weather for this event. "Rocking the Beet" who thinks of these things??
You couldn't ask for better weather for it too! I bet you had a great time there.
Great shots of the food, the cake is really nice looking, wonder what it tasted like.
wow, this looks like it was a great event. count us in for next year.
I would have eaten that whole bowl of olives! Good thing for everyone that I wasn't there. Looks like it was a fun event.
