It has been a number of years, effectively virtually ten, truly, since we had been invited to our first Mohegan Solar Wine And Meals Competition. After all, quite a bit has modified through the years, the previous couple of being probably the most upending of all. The restaurant panorama has been decimated, public occasions look so totally different with much less crowds, extra masks and nonetheless some apprehension. But, we now have at all times maintained that issues will bounce again regardless of the employees shortages, provide chain points and now inflation in full bloom. And we nonetheless consider this. Positive issues have modified however we adapt, survive and go on. So, as we head again to Mohegan this yr for a weekend of celebrating nice meals and wine we ponder what the longer term will deliver.
Sure, our readers have famous that we have had fewer in-depth weblog posts. There merely hasn’t been the complete schedule of splashy restaurant openings, grand social affairs and public meals occasions to cowl. A lot of this has been moved on-line to digital occasions which can be simply not the identical. We have now mourned the lack of that vibrancy, the getting dressed-up and heading into city to rub elbows with previous and new mates alike, the laughter, dialog and all of that nice foods and drinks. Watching it on a display screen is simply not the identical.
The longer term will deliver again a few of these beloved occasions in a distinct type (see our posts on the Newport Mansions Meals And Wine Competition final Fall which truly dropped at us a superb, extra intimate new strategy) and, sure, we’re going ahead with a brand new, maybe extra fashionable take.
So, our future will likely be newer social media with extra simply assimilated glimpses. Sure, there will likely be all the identical glittering occasions however with extra movies with the individuals who make it occur, the Cooks and celebrities, the fascinating attendees, behind-the-scenes stuff and the totally different angles that we now have turn into well-known for. After 13 years there have been many individuals who’ve imitated our identify, stolen our pictures, reiterated our curation and we now have welcomed it as flattery. We have now at all times been and can proceed to be THE Boston Foodie, the unique, with all the failings and enjoyable.
With 16 nieces and nephews (and counting) there will certainly be extra cooking with the children and different household moments. There will likely be extra private discoveries that department out past meals to journey, trend, artwork and the entire cultural experiences that encourage us. And there will likely be a number of laughter and enjoyable and doubtless controversy as we now have discovered through the years. What’s life with out different opinions?
Comply with us. Be part of us. It may be nice and we welcome you all.
