The fritters are wonderful, by the way. I tried them the first time I ever went to ES (two years ago) and they were so-so. I don’t know if it was a bad batch or a bad recipe, but I was too distracted by clear winners on the menu to ever order it again. I noticed a few reviews recently that mentioned them, and I figured I’d give em another shot. I took my camera ’cause I figured if I didn’t like em, at least I’d have a good picture for anyone who was curious. After a long (and exausting) photoshoot, I tucked into one of the (still hot!) fritters and proceeded to devour them all before they had a chance to cool. I was shocked by how much difference there was from my first experience two years ago. This time they were very air-y, with a crunchy thin shell with very light insides. They tend to be addictive.

$7500? wow.
That almost 4 million coming in!!
At least it’s for a good cause: ” Beneficiaries: Proceeds benefit the Naples Children and Education Foundation, whose vision is to make a profound and sustaining difference in the quality of children’s lives. NCEF is committed to supporting charitable programs that improve the physical, emotional and educational lives of underprivileged and at-risk children in Collier County. Since its inception in 2001, the Naples Winter Wine Festival has raised $38.8 million for children in need, with a record $12.2 million raised under the auction tent in 2006.”
