The popular Taste of Del Ray was once again a sell out as foodies descended on the Mount Vernon Recreation Center field for the 16th annual culinary event.

More than a dozen Del Ray restaurants participated in the June 1st event, which limited tickets sales to 500 attendees due to the popularity of one of Del Ray’s signature gatherings.

“I don’t think there is anything here I haven’t tried today,” said Del Ray resident Adam Long. “We live here in Del Ray and really enjoy the people, the food and the atmosphere. Taste of Del Ray is a great opportunity for us to enjoy all of that at the same time.”

A VIP wine tasting was held at the nearby Del Ray Artisans and former Meet the Press host Chuck Todd served as a judge at the competition.

People's Choice winners: 1st - Spice Kraft Indian Bistro; 2nd - Del Ray Café; 3rd- La'Baik.

Judge's Choice winners: 1st - Spice Kraft Indian Bistro; 2nd - La'Baik; 3rd (tie) - Taqueria Poblano and Evening Star Cafe's Hi-Fi Tex-Mex BBQ.
