It appears that I am one of the few that enjoyed the taste of Charlotte, specially compared to years past. I agree the prices are absolutely ridiculous and it left me wondering who comes up with the token prices and how many tokens it costs for what. I did think there was a broad selection of restaurants and a good amount of other vendors and shows. There were a couple vendors giving out free samples. I am surprised that there were not even more free samples though seeing the type of venue it is.
