For those not familiar with the venue for this event, the Scoot Inn was established in 1871. The iconic East Austin landmark began has a humble grocery store in the black community of Masontown. As time passed, the neighborhood became part of East Austin. Over the years, the building has also served as a saloon and a restaurant, before transforming into the live music venue and bar it is today.
The morning started with a little rain, but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of those waiting to sample the grub. For a basic gate entry fee, fans of the sometimes messy, but always tasty culinary treat were able to sample unlimited tastings from a array of local chefs and restaurants.
Of course, no food fest is complete without a contest to see who can eat the most of the food items and who makes the best ones in the city.
Everyone seemed to have a great time, so I will wager that this fan-favorite food fest will be back next year.
