The USA Today Wine & Food Experience returned to High Street in Phoenix on Nov. 8, featuring over two dozen food and beverage vendors. The Republic's dining team tried every dish from the event in search of the best bites that the festival had to offer.
This year, as in years past, the event was definitely alcohol heavy: more than half of the vendor booths were offering wine and liquor. For vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free diners, there were fewer options, but we greatly enjoyed the dishes that were offered.
