We have too much fun, really! Another food shoot, this time at the White Mountain Cider Co. in Glen, NH, a short jaunt from North Conway (just a bit past Rt. 302). After you see the pics I won’t have to tell you, but do yourself a favor and get on up to WMCC, the food is amazing! Don’t believe us? Check out this video review by the one and only Phantom Gourmet! Theresa (sharing chef duties with her Husband Scott) was a great host and Jeff (hey, Mr. Bartender!) whipped up some of their signature drinks, some of which involved fire! (always a plus). The restaurant is in an old (but restored) farmhouse and has a great atmosphere. Can’t wait to get back up there to sample more from their incredible menu! (they also have a very cool country store featuring homemade apple cider doughnuts, soups, deli sandwiches, pies and a lot more) Ok, so here’s what we captured…
 

This is so cool… they actually make their own crackers! How many restaurants do you know that do that?

Jeff has made bartending into an art…

…did somebody mention fire? Check out this sequence:

Back in February we did a food shoot for our good friend Kim Dion at Bella Tavola Catering. Kim was great to work with and we had a blast, not to mention getting to sample some of the incredible edibles we photographed! Kim is great at what she does, not only creating culinary masterpieces that taste amazing and look absolutely gorgeous, but she can wrangle any event, pulling it together and making it happen whether things go exactly according to plan or even if Murphy’s law rears its ugly head! We know because we’ve witnessed it with our own four eyes (six if you count my glasses). Kim catered our wedding in ’06 and the location was a challenge for sure. We were married in a beautiful old barn (even had a bluegrass band!) in the middle of a field and everything—food, tableware, silverware, chafing dishes…everything—had to be hauled in—and out. No kitchen. Kim made it all happen seamlessly even though it was probably one of her tougher gigs. The food and the presentation were amazing(Alaskan king crab legs, come on?!) and our friends and family still rave about it! On another occasion my Band, Casual Labor, played a wedding that Kim catered and that went off without a hitch (at least to everyone in attendance) under similar circumstances as well. The Girl knows her stuff. So if you have an event that needs catering, give Bella Tavola a call. Kim’ll hook ya up. Cue the pics:

And at the end we snuck in a couple of nice ‘environmental’ portraits of Kim:

Thanks Bella Tavola Catering! Till next time…
