Still recovering from the fun weekend in Atlantic City’s Food and Wine Festival. I partnered up with Summer Fordcast Tour. Hung out with the crew, learned about the new 2012 Focus features, ate, drank and met new friends.

Started off at the Grand Market and Italian Village.


Tons of vendors, light bites and plenty of wines and bubbly to go around. You could take classes or walk around and nibble on things like bacon cheese.

Randomly got VIP access and ate and drank some more.


HERE ARE SOME THAT STOOD OUT

Danisa Sellers had the “how come I didn’t think of that” product. The perfect party plate. Of course! a hole to put your wine glass while holding a plate. Genius!

Potito’s claimed to have the best cannoli. I’ll have to agree. The shell was so crunchy yet not too dense. I wish we had one in NYC.

FIN at Tropicana served up a real mean Lobster Bisque.

TONY LUKE’S introduced his boxed/easy at home version of his famous cheesesteak sandwich.

I thought the I love roasted garlic machine was pretty neat.

Tummy was full, so I stopped by the Fordcast lounge. 

There were cars set up, along with twitter updating monitors, sweepstakes and a fun photo booth.

My 2012 Focus expert looks like the guy from The Hangover, doesn’t he? Super funny, knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

As I learned about the cool features like how it can parallel “park itself” and voice activated commands, I was also part of a Fordcast highlight video. 

The video will be out in about 2 weeks. The crew was fun and easy to work with, even though I was a bit camera shy at first.

Got interviewed about ChubbyChineseGirl.com, shared some of my favorite foods.



As the night came to an end, we walked around, had some Rita’s, took a walk by the boardwalk and ended the night playing at Bally’s.



Sunday morning, repeated all of the above and headed back to NYC late afternoon. Not in a 2012 Focus (for those of you who asked/or were thinking of asking), though that would of been nice. 
FYI, the Ultimate VIP Sweepstakes is still going on, a chance to design your very own dream vacation (I entered, hope I win!).Enter here
