In a word, yum!
Hundreds of hungry Brooklynites including the authors of this column — thronged St. Patricks School auditorium for the annual food-lovers delight, The Taste of the Ridge.
A whopping 48 local food purveyors including restaurants, delis and bakeries provided trays of their specialties that attendees, who paid $15 to enter the event (which is a fundraiser for St. Patricks), could sample to their hearts content.
There may have been some hearty souls who managed to taste the food of every eatery without feeling stuffed; we were not among them, but we did enjoy tastes of many different foods that make Bay Ridge the culinary mecca it is.
