I thought I’d do this post as early as possible, so if you do read it today (June 2, 2007) you’ll still have time to make on over to the 15th Annual City Heights International Village Celebration. The event is put on for the racially diverse community of City Heights by the City Heights Community Development Corporation. This year the festival has moved from University Ave to City Heights Urban Village Park located on the corner of Fairmount Avenue and Wrightman Avenue.
And though this year, the "May Grey" has turned into the "June Gloom", the festival was still as crowded as ever.
As always, the fair hosts a very large career fair and also provides health screenings, as well as other health related information.
And as always there is a "Kid-Zone" with rides and other games for children.
But of course, this is a food blog……and even though I thought this year’s offerings, food-wise were not as abundant, or diverse as last year’s, there was enough to keep one in a constant state of needing a nap.
If you remember last year’s post, I was torn when faced with this……
The "hungry me" on one shoulder told me to "get it! How often do you eat TJ-style hot dogs…." The "responsible me" on the other shoulder said; "come on, can’t you hear your arteries screaming for mercy…you’re killing me, literally!"
So what to do….. Well, I needed to make a closer investigation…..
Which in retrospect was a big mistake….because you know which "me" won out!!!!
So this is the way I rationalized it. Last year "responsible me" won out, so this year, in the spirit of giving equal time…..
So next year, it probably back to "responsible me"….or maybe not. The bacon wrapped hot dog($4), was nice and moist, the crisp bacon wrapping the dog added good flavor(the Missus specifically chose a dog with an abundance of crisp bacon), and the onions, jalapenos, and peppers added some nice flavor. We did draw the line on the mayo though….
We hurried home and I kinda wrote this in a rush, so you’ll still have time to make it since the Fair runs until 6pm.
The favorite photo of the day?
San Diego’s Finest, at their finest. Seems like everyone enjoys a good fair!
