Jeff and I joined thousands of Peorians tonight at the Riverfront to enjoy the 27th annual Taste of Peoria. About 40-50 vendors from restaurants throughout the city offered some of their most popular dishes to a crowd of 20,000. The lines were crazy long...I waited at least 10-15 minutes to purchase a skewer of drunken steak from Johnny's Steakhouse. But it was grilled to medium rare perfection and absolutely delish! We spent a whopping $19 on admission and food and didn't get much in return but it was a festive place to be.
Jeff's favorite dish was "spicy chicken" from Than Lin, a thai restaurant located on Main Street in Peoria--I highly recommend this place. The food is pretty cheap, almost everything on the menu is healthy, and it's very tasty. Every dish was sold for either $1,$2, or $3 in appetizer sizes. Our salmon burger was a joke but everything else was wonderful. Now I'm trying to get Jeff to take me to Johnny's Steakhouse for a real meal! That sampler was not enough.
