I just got home, and thought I'd post this ASAP. Over the past week, I've been driving past the banner(s) for the Serbian Festival/Bazaar at St George Serbian Orthodox Church several times a day. Disappointed that I missed the festival last year, this year, I made a point to attend.
The festival itself is not very large, and is very laid back. There is entertainment, a bazaar, raffles, a wine and beer bar, and of course.....Food!!!
If I really needed motivation to attend....the Serbian Roasted Pig would be more than sufficient. The menu consists of 3 offerings, and as you can see, I choose the pig($12).
The vinegary cole slaw went well with the salty-rich pig, which was very moist and tender. The crisp skin was a bonus. Taking into account that this was festival food, I thought it to be quite good.
Need more motivation?
Of course there are pastries and snacks. The lady who assembled my pastries was very nice, and helpful, and also talked me into getting a Meat Murek:
Filo Dough pastry filled with meat.
And of course I got a nice selection of pastries for the Missus:
There is a $3 donation to enter. You buy tickets for the food and drink at a booth and pick your food up at a window in the auditorium.
The festival runs until 11pm tonight.

Nice looking piece of pork, just the way it should be roasted.

The pastries look interesting ... were they any good?

Hi Billy - Yes, it was pretty darn good.
Hi Rachel - The Missus thought the pastries were good, much sweeter than their Greek counterparts.

I have tried both, the other place and CrawDaddy's, and i find that there is no comparison between the two. CrawDaddy's food tastes great, I've invited many friends to dine there. I, myself, have dined there numerous times and find it delicious.

Wow Hawaii Boi - Sounds great....but haven't they only been opened for less than 3 weeks, and you've dined there numerous times? Anyway, I'm looking forward to checking them out.
