Amelia Island Cookout features breathtaking tastes, views

Posted

The Second Annual Amelia Island Cookout was held on Oct. 19 on the oceanfront lawn at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island.

The event featured a perfect combination of both a mixing of tastes and beautiful sights with award-winning chefs from across the country and breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean with a simple turn of the head.

A large part of the lineup this year was once again several local restaurants and breweries, such as Salt, The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island’s restaurant, Wicked Bao, Mocama, Manifest Distilling and Aardwolf Brewing.

Attendees walked around and grab sample plates from the various vendors, which included a low country soul bowl from Holy City Hogs; Texas Wagyu “burnt ends” empanadas with Poblano Mole Verde sauce; and Yukon Gold potato bisque with bay scallops, smokey bacon and leeks from Burlock Coast and The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale.

The progression was seen from the inaugural event to year two, both in the layout and presentation of the event but also with the amount of people that took part in the culinary showcase.
