  • The the foodie fest has changed since it first started. They have much more covered areas with seating and tables but I'm afraid that took up space that was once was occupied by many more food trucks at previous foodie fests here at the Silverton. The seating was desperately needed though so what can ya do?! I ran into people at the event complaining about paying to get in. I don't have any complaint about paying however it should be cheaper. It seems odd to pay just to get in so you can pay for food but if it were free to get in then I'm sure everyone and their adopted cousin would show up and it would be even more packed and no fun! We went the first day on Friday, and arrived around 6:00 pm. I was happy to have found a great parking spot right away. I was even happier when I saw there was nobody in line to get in! We had noticed a long line on the way in and thought we would have to wait in it. I asked the cashier at the gate if I was in the right line and she said that we could purchase tickets or show our online ticket so getting in was a snap! The tickets at the gate were $10 per person, $8 for senior citizens, children under 54" were free and that got you a wristband to get in into the foodie fest all 3 days for the one price. They had some trucks taking debit/credit cards but at the gate and most of the food trucks only took ca$h money. The 2nd day we went was Saturday and there was still no line at the gate but the lines inside were insane. I still had a few trucks I wanted to try the 2nd day but wasn't willing to wait 2 plus hours for them so just got something from the few lines that were short. I think it just depends what time and day you show up that determines your experience. They had a carnival off to the side of the foodie fest with rides and games carny food. It wasn't busy at first. Well, not including White Castle! They had such a long line. Thank goodness I am not a burger eater because the wait was at times up to 4 hours for White Castle however it did smell good around their tent. I wanted to make a couple rounds to see what I wanted to try. Slow Cal BBQ: It smelled too good outside this truck not to try something. There was only one person in front of me so I didn't wait long to order. After pondering the menu board I ordered the "Linker" combo priced at $9. This was a sandwich with hot links, pork and BBQ sauce. You get to choose your BBQ sauce and it is homemade. I chose "Dam Bro" and it was spicy and good! It came with a side so I chose "Red Beans & Rice" and it was full of yummy flavor! I was stoked to find out that they are not just in Cali anymore but also here in Vegas! I will for sure eat from this truck again! During the 2nd day of our visit I stopped by this truck to try their "Cajun Potato Salad" and it was so good! Torpedo Potato: After seeing pictures I knew I wanted to try this place! I am also glad I tried it when I did because I had maybe 6 people in front of me but later in the night and the following day that I passed by it was very, very long! I ordered the "Original Tornado" and had them add sour cream & onion and nacho cheese. It cost $7.50 and I loved it! I wish we had one of their trucks here in Vegas!!!!! Roamin' Dough: We met up with some friends who wanted to stop at this truck. My friend ordered the "Bacon Wrapped Dates"priced at $5 and they were so darn good! When we came back to the foodie fest the 2nd day I stopped and ordered some and they were just as good as the day before. Fluff Ice: I was checking out another truck and when I came back around the corner I found my hubby in line for this truck. I also found fellow yelper Nelson Q in line behind hubby! It was nice to catch up with Nelson but what was great was the history lesson he gave us about boba! I had no idea what it was or what it tasted like. I wanted to try the "Strawberry Fluff" with blue honey boba. It cost $7 and was huge! It is hard to describe the fluff ice but it is shaved ice with condensed milk and I'm sure something else I just know it was yummy! The boba tasted chewy and kinda like a gummy bear. It was neat to try the boba but I can't say I am a fan. Wa Da Pho: While in line one of the owners told it this was there launching day! They had fancy TVs and ipad looking menus. My friend ordered "Da Pho-licious Q" for us to share. I had high hopes for this truck since it is local and just starting out. The sandwich wasn't that great. I really enjoyed the bread a lot but the meat was so thick that when you went to bite into it the meat all comes out and you are left with just bread. I would try something else from this truck but not this sandwich again. Deep Fried Vendor: I didn't see a name for this place it wasn't a truck but a vendor in a booth. They had all sorts of deep fried goodies. I wanted to try the "Deep Fried Reese's Big Cup". It cost $5. I felt the price was too steep but I ate every bite and loved it! I will be back!
