This was my second time attending the annual
Chefs in Shorts in Boston, MA, which took place Friday, June 24th at the Seaport Hotel. The event takes place rain or shine and chefs from at least forty restaurants in Boston cook-off their tastiest restaurant dishes, with proceeds going to the
Greater Boston Food Bank. With a live band, sponsored wine and beer companies such as Harpoon, and tons of food samples and giveaways, it's a big party and a lot of fun for all ages. I only wish they had more fish this year, instead lots of grilled meat, and the wine was disappointing. Overall the event was great and I look forward to going back next year. Check out some of my pictures below.

 |
| My first table was the BBQ Pulled Pork from Sports Bar and Restaurant, Jerry Remy's. (I had seconds!) |
 |
| The BEST custard I've ever tasted. It's all about the eggs. |
 |
| Wasn't a huge fan of the macaroni served with the smoked sausage, but sausage was excellent. |
 |
| One of our favorite tables, Temazcal. Visited restaurant following night and wait was 2.5 hours! |
 |
| Pork cooked perfectly - spicy too! |
 |
| Probably the best lamb burger I've ever tasted next to my mom's. |
 |
| Lamb burger was cooked perfectly and very juicy. |

I think every food festival in the Northern Hemisphere was doomed to crappy weather this year. Taste of London was a mud-bath, people were advised to turn up wearing wellies.
This looks great though! How much was it, and could you eat as much as you liked or were there limits per table?
The tickets were $60 to general public, all you can eat from every table, and you were given 4 drink tickets - for sponsors: Harpoon Beer Company and Leaping Frog Winery. For this price and the amount of food and participating restaurants it's definitely worth it!
