| - First off let me start by saying I did not write a review for the last foodie fest because my boyfriend, daughter, and I all got food poisoning. It was one of the worst experiences of our lives, but we couldn't narrow it down so I didn't want to put any particular truck on blast. The fact that we returned was based on free tickets from yelp (thanks yelp and Red Dragon) and White Castle. I choose not to go to my fav local trucks like fuku, sin city wings, and chi town hustler (who wasn't at this 1, but was at last) because they usually up their prices for the event. Sucks for us locals who are use to their normal prices. But I get it because they have an insane vendor fee of like $900! I'm curious if all trucks even profited with prices like that?
We went Friday and arrived at about 4:15-4:30. The line was long so we went to the VIP entrance for our yelp tix.
Unorganized from the start. I was clearly the first Yelper to check in thru VIP. The lady argued with me and told me I had to go to general admission, until I pulled up the email and showed it to her. Still, they did not have a list of names, and let 3-4 parties in before me. I literally watched the White Castle line get 30 minutes longer as the unorganized employees text for information.
I finally got in, and went straight to the White Castle line. We waited about an hour to order, and another hour for our food. I took a break and got a lemonade and tornado potato while my bf dealt with the crazies. We ordered a crave crate which is 100 burgers for $100. Between 4 of us we killed about 25 burgers. Lets just say we had no problem getting rid of the rest. However I've had White Castle. From White Castle. They may have brought their grills from Chicago, but the patties were indeed still frozen. And the cheap patties were even a tad undercooked. It wasn't like the real thing, and I know I can't be the only one who feels this way. However, if Las Vegas didn't prove their worth for bringing a real White Castle to our city- the company is freakin' crazy! They sold out of their first batch of 60,000 burgers the first night! GIVE US THE REAL THING WHITE CASTLE!!
I tasted some BBQ nachos from the Q truck- BOMB.
Other than that- a fun time but I wouldn't do it again, NOR EVER PAY FULL PRICE! $10 entry then pricy food truck grub? Vegas locals are supporting your scene, expand hours, areas, and LOWER PRICES! Make it worth it for everyone, trucks and customers!
I can't say I will return to another foodie Fest. It's possible if they do a few things different. Hopefully they'll notice the disappointing yelp reviews and take notes!
