Bridge Day is one of my favorite days of the year - tens of thousands of people get together to watch people jump off the New River Gorge Bridge. Watching people pull their colorful parachutes amongst the fall trees in the mountains is beautiful. And, this year, I even ziplined off the New River Gorge Bridge with Kaitlynn (bucket list item - check).

But just before Bridge Day is Taste of Bridge Day, where area restaurants get together to and dish out samples from their establishments. You buy a certain number of tickets and choose items, which are each assigned a ticket value. Here are the vendors:

• Calacino’s
• Tastings 
• White Oak Catering
• Sweet T’s Bake Shop
• Dobra Zupa’s
• ACE Adventure Resort’s Woody’s Smokehouse 
• Craft Kings
• Gumbo’s Cajun Restaurant
• Café 110
• Smokey’s Steakhouse (Adventures on the Gorge)
• Buffler’s Pizzeria (Adventures on the Gorge
• Chetty’s Pub (Adventures on the Gorge)

So, I got a handful and mapped out my route. Here's what I got:


Canyon Doors - bacon & bleu bacon stuffed potato pave


ACE Adventure Resort's Woody's Smokehouse - wood-fired brick oven pizza (margherita)

Craft Kings - Pork Bulgogi Taco with Korean BBQ sauce and fresh apple cole slaw

Tastings - New York Style Cheesecake topped with Lake Niagara & Granny Smith Warm Compote
