We had some of the best food recently in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We were visiting as a part of a blogging invite from the Visit Fort Wayne organization to promote their city and the new opening of their Promenade Park along the river. After a full day of activities, we were treated to a picnic at a shelter outdoors. It was a great setting with a relaxed atmosphere. The food provided was perfect for a day spent outside.
The weather was warm - OK hot - but everyone was in good spirits from the great activities. We spent the day at the zoo, which was a part of the offered activities. We were provided so many great opportunities it was a shame we couldn't accomplish them all in one day. We will definitely have to return to Fort Wayne for another visit. The variety of opportunities for the day consisted of:
- Ft. Wayne Children’s Zoo
- Science Central
- Greekfest
- TinCaps Baseball Game
- DeBrand Fine Chocolates
- Fort Wayne’s Famous Coney Island
- International Jugglers Association Festival
- Botanical Conservatory
- Fort Wayne Museum of Art
So back to the dinner. The BBQ Dinner (includes all of the sides, meats, bbq sauce, and drinks) was provided by Shigs in Pit, https://www.shigsinpit.com/ As you can see from the above photo we enjoyed a BBQ sandwich, green beans, potato salad, a cornbread casserole, and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was a bit of a surprise in that it was spicey, it definitely had a kick to it.
Dessert was provided in the form of cookies from the Cookie Cottage, http://www.cookiecottage.com/. These amazing cookies had a beautiful design on top as you can see. The icing was plentiful, and the cookie had a hint of almond flavor. They were so good, I could have eaten two of them!
Special thanks to Visit Fort Wayne for arranging the entire trip for our family.
