I've been an Yelp Elite for 5 years and this has to go down in the books as the worst event I've ever attended. I feel bad for the Yelp Elites whose first experience was this event. I promise you- this is a very atypical experience.
This review as many of the reviews have written, is not for the volunteer or the food truck vendor- it's for the organization of the festival itself.
One word description: dismal. In addition to agreeing to everything Mary S. wrote in her review, I had to add that the restaurants featured in the sample village were staffed with volunteers. I asked several of the booths the name of the restaurant of the food I was sampling & none of them knew!!!!
In addition, the volunteers were doing the cooking at some of them . . . with no prior training or licensing- what?!?!?!
At several of the booths, the volunteers told me they were ready to walk off & go home it was soooo disorganized.
The only reason I am giving this festival one star is because I need to give it one star to write a review. If possible, I would give this particular festival zero star!
