The Gilroy Garlic Festival!Yes, food fans, a festival dedicated to Garlic, complete with Garlic Fries, Garlic Chicken, Garlic Pizza, Garlic Corn, Garlic Shrimp, Garlic Tacos, Deep Fried Garlic, Garlic Crawdads, Garlic Calamari, and GARLIC ICE CREAM (surprisingly tasty) and more!!
It took us almost 2.5 hours to get there because of the traffic-almost 50K people attend each year, and the festival has raised over $7.5M for charity since it started in 1979. In the sweltering heat, we roamed the garlic foods, the crafts, and saw a cooking demonstration before heading back to San Mateo where the weather was 20 degrees cooler. We went to Pancho Villa's and had the best Burritos so far. Truly yummy.

Just wanted you to know I saw this. Perfect headline. Garlic ice cream???!!! Reminds me of the garlic-laced cookies your father received during his military career. I don't think he and his buddies described them as "tasty" though.
They had kettle corn there, and we couldn't understand why they didn't have Garlic Popcorn... That would have been the perfect treat for you!
more food photography! oh my gosh, so jealous! we never made it there during our time in sf. so now you're prepped for the Mendota Sweet Corn festival the weekend you're here? http://www.sweetcornfestival.com/
