STREETEATS, STOP PULLING MY DICK!
This festival sucked. I 100% agree with Francis (below)!
We bought $50 VIP tickets and THAT part was actually okay. We wound up getting comped drinks. The Dj was fun and being in the shade with private bathrooms was a-ok. But then, if you crunch the numbers it boils down to this:
$50 VIP cost breakdown:
$12 entry fee
$8 in food
$30 in drinks
VIP only portapotties
Shade (tent with a DJ in it) & outdoor tables to sit
It's only a good deal if you plan on drinking a lot, anyway. But then, the $12 covers parking, and when people travel together....that's a lot of money per car going toward parking--a real scam if you ask me.
The food part was ABYSMAL!! The food trucks didn't play fair. Smaller portions, triple prices. They were supposed to do better than that.
We paid $4 for fried chicken. We got= 1 lousy drumstick.
$8 for funnel cake. Got a measly plate of mediocre fried dough with powdered sugar.
We paid $4 for jambalaya. We got a $2 at best--sample size portion.
We paid $15 for two skewers of meat on a stick. One was chicken and one was pork with bacon.
We paid $4 for bacon grilled cheese. We got 1/2 of a sandwich on paltry white bread.
Eff NO!!!!
Portland, Oregon has the food truck game down. Scottsdale can kiss my ass. Supposedly the vendors are charging less because they know how much we paid just to get inside the festival, but the truth is that is just not the case. All of them overcharged!
No one played ball in a good/fair way. None of the food was good enough. The Lobster Lady line was over an hour long, and the lousy lobster rolls were $18 for a SMALL.
The music is a bunch of kids. SUCKED.
Food demo--most BORING thing ever.
The whole thing just sucks. Don't waste your time there.
