I telephoned Catalina Island today to learn the winner of the Taste Of Avalon as curiosity loomed all weekend. The contest winner was announced yesterday, Sunday at 1 p.m. My favorite restaurant was in the running and I thought sure they would be the winner in the food category and possibly also the drink category. The food is artistically prepared from the freshest ingredients and seasoned with the right amount of herbs and spices. As I understood each restaurant was to serve a food which best represented their fare.

The Lobster Trap which is frequented by "the locals" did one better! They covered the top of the pool table making it a buffet. A complete seafood spread was put out for the taking. Some food was deep fried, some was baked but much mass-produced. Large draft beer was sold for $1.00 each. The votes put them in first place being the winner again for the second year in a row.

Being a foodie who goes the extra for quality in choices, it was a great surprise to learn The "M" Restaurant came in second place for the food category to The Lobster Trap. I enjoyed the Curry Chicken Spring Roll at lunch the day of the Taste Of Avalon. Enjoying it for the quality ingredients I thought sure it would be the first place winner. Honestly put, the food of the two offerings were of two opposite types and preparations. Congratulations to The Lobster Trap!
