| - This was my first time at Vegas Foodie Fest. I have wanted to go in the past, but my work schedule always got in the way. Welp, yesterday I finally made it! My husband and I met up with some friends here and I have to say, I thought the event was better than I was expecting!
The older I get the less desirous I become of going to these types of events. The hustle to get in, the bloated prices, the noise, too many people, etc. Luckily though... my husband and I didn't wait too long to get in to the event. Probably about 6 minutes. The line went fast. They gave my husband a Military discount, but not me. (Err, okay. Most places will give the entire family of the active duty person the discount, but to each their own I guess.) So I paid full price.
Once we got in we went immediately to the food trucks, away from the carnie rides and the... car show? Odd assortments of cars were on display. Oookay. Anyway, back to the food.
Devilicous Truck: We got the Parm Truffle Fries and a Guava Lemonade to start out. I got this lemonade because it was the cheapest drink out of all the trucks at $3.50. All the other trucks were selling specialty drinks for $5! Highway robbery! I like this drink, it was really tart, with a bit of sweet. The fries were pretty tasty with big chunks of grated Parmesan on them.
Muncheez: My husband wanted a grilled cheese from this truck. I did not. I've been burned by Muncheez in the past, but I think maybe they've refined their menu since I last had them. My husband got a simple "create-your-own" grilled cheese. Cheese, ham and sourdough. It was all right. But we waited way too long to get it.
Sin City Hot Dogs: I got the Boulevard dog as my main meal. After much agonizing I felt as though this truck had really interesting combos of food at the right prices. I paid $7 for my dog and it was AWESOME. Big, juicy, and meaty. The bun was not dry, but a very nice bread. And the toppings were out of this world - grilled onions, mayo, mustard, jalapeno sauce, and a layer of re-fried beans underneath. Two thumbs up!
BaconMania: For our last indulgence we got the deep fried bacon wrapped brownie bites, covered in Hershey's melted chocolate. Wow. I mean, I hate to say it, but these were really, really good.
Overall I enjoyed the Foodie Fest. I would return to another. I think food truck prices in general are a bit steep. I mean, 5 bucks for a drink? MEH! But... I guess it's just the price you pay for these "all-star" trucks and their food. I think you just have to really search to get your monies worth. The $10 price to get in isn't bad... but I hope they never raise the price. I don't see myself paying more than that to get in the door and the spend MORE money on the inflated food prices.
