This is the story of The Great Food Truck Clusterfuck.
The Food Truck Festival welcomed us with a hot dirt lot filled with thousands of people standing in zig-zaggy Disney Land-esque lines with maybe 20 - 25 food trucks. The promotions for this event stated "over 30" trucks would be there, but I guess that doesn't matter since you wouldn't be able to try all of them anyhow. Each line was 50+ people deep and took 20 - 30 minutes of standing in one to get a bite size sample.
You had to stand in THREE lines to get a beer. One for ID check. One for wristband. One for beer.
For some reason, children were admitted for free - this created a mess of strollers trying to push through lines and unattended children running around, bumping in to people.
The Mister and I were here for 2 hours and tried itty bitty samples from four trucks. I was so disappointed and frustrated in this event that I asked for a refund. I was presently surprised that that process was very painless, basically no questions asked. The staff and cooks were all very friendly and did a great job, even though they were all in way over their heads.
I understand that this is their first time putting on this event and they will sure have plenty to learn for the following years. I want to support this, and if I hear about changes being made I will certainly try it again next year.
