BLC grilled street style Jamaican Jerk Chicken Skewers and Farmers Market Vegetable Kabobs over mesquite hardwood charcoal. The Chicken was 100% boneless,skinless thigh meat marinated in a house-made jerk dry  rub. When the skewers were in the last few minutes of grilling, chef hit them with a mopping sauce of fresh ginger, garlic, herbs and dark rum. The vegetables (heirloom peppers, japanese eggplant, summer squash) were grilled with olive oil and a marinade of basil, onions, garlic and vinegar. BLC also offered local apple coleslaw in lettuce wraps (this was a no plate, no utensil green event) and two different agua frescas!

Peter Gabriel was AMAZING Friday night with a 35 piece orchestra and an unbelievable visual presentation! BLC served Moroccan Beef Bastilla and a Rustic Soup of Savoy Cabbage, New Potatoes and Chiogga Beets to the backstage party goers (including the likes of Sarah Mclachlan and John Perry Barlow). As always the ‘ROCKAMOLE’ was the centerpiece of the spread with the ITALIAN BLACK TRUFFLE CHEESE also getting big wows.

Wavy Gravy was also spotted in the crowd.

Sunday was also an incredible evening with a phenomenal performance by FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE. Flo was especially complimentary about the Pineapple and Cucumber Agua Fresca and wore a dress on stage that matched the color (check it out).
