Foodie Survival Tips to conquer the 4th Ultimate Taste Test!
1. It is impossible to taste all the food in one session. Some foodies go for lunch, watch a movie, and go back for dinner. Other foodies hang out the entire afternoon and sample all the dishes leisurely with friends.
2. Rate the food immediately after tasting it. Your first impression is always correct. Make sure to rate the ones you love and support them to win in the UTT.
3. Pace yourself. You don’t need to rush, and savor each bite. Go easy on the drinks and the dessert at the start.
4. Don’t worry there’s no order. You can taste them in any order that you like. Some use the ice cream to cleanse that palate in between the main dish. You can taste them by section since we make sure there’s appetizer, main course and dessert in each.
5. Enjoy the Taste Test with beer or ice tea. Pairing the food with drinks adds a different dimension to the taste test. The beer adds a fun dimension to the taste test experience.
6. Know the story behind the food. Get to know the owners and the story of how their food came about.
7. Best to go with Friends & Family. UTT is a great food trip bonding session with your family, friends and special someone. Make sure to meet new ones during the event because we all share the same passion for food.
8. Don’t waste the food. Make sure to get only the ones you are interested to taste. Best to get a taste test and eat it, before moving to the next one instead of hoarding all the food in your plate.
9. Go on a morning run. Exercise and go on a morning fast to prepare yourself for the Ultimate Taste Text experience.
10. Remember, It’s not a buffet. The goal is not to eat as many as you want. The goal is to discover new food and taste new flavors.
