(We unfortunately had to miss Saturday&#8217;s festivities.) We soaked up some sun thanks to the glorious weather, and sampled food and drink from many of the Valley&#8217;s most impressive eateries. The Dorrance Sculpture Garden was center stage for the chefs to set up shop, with white tents lining the lovely space. Our first stop was Kai of Sheraton Wild Horse Pass (they put on quite a fun show, in addition to providing some of the festival&#8217;s top food). The first thing I tasted at West of Western ended up being my favorite: Kai&#8217;s decadent pulled lamb, with tzatziki sauce, on top of slighty sweet Indian fry bread. I wanted a second sample, but I knew there was too much fine fare still to try&#8230;<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_912\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-912\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"size-full wp-image-912 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  title=\"west-prado\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/20090144\/west-prado-80x107.jpg\"  alt=\"Chef Claudio Urciuoli of Prado\"  width=\"480\"  height=\"640\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/west-prado.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/20090144\/west-prado.jpg 480w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/20090144\/west-prado-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/20090144\/west-prado-380x507.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/20090144\/west-prado-80x107.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/20090144\/west-prado-60x80.jpg 60w\" ><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-912\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chef Claudio Urciuoli of Prado<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nI also very much enjoyed the halibut tacos at Crescent Moon of\u00a0Four Seasons Scottsdale Troon North, as well as Simply Bread&#8217;s delish, crispy sandwich&#8211;made with sopressata and pesto&#8211;on Jeffrey Yankellow&#8217;s superb bread. Chef Claudio Urciuoli, of Prado at\u00a0Montelucia Resort &amp; Spa,\u00a0also impressed with buricotta, an mouth-watering marriage of burrata and ricotta, a match made in cheese heaven. The divine dish was sided with some olive oil-soaked bread. I also wanted seconds of this.

And James Porter of Tapino Kitchen &amp; Wine Bar\u00a0offered up an absolute must-try: a root beer float that featured foie gras ice cream.

However, my most favorite part of the wine tasting area might just be the chocolaty treats provided by Patrick Peeters of Peeters Belgian Pastries &amp; Chocolates.
