| - I've been to every Foodie Fest and I am sad to say this was by far the worst one. I liked the Silverton ones best. Unfortunately, Silverton is building time shares in its parking lot so it can't be there. But I am not really sure it is even about location because the Linq is pretty cool. My main issue is that there were way less trucks then at previous Foodie Fests. I go to Foodie Fest mainly to try out of state trucks. The majority of the trucks were local and most of the out of state ones had been here before. This time there were not many big name trucks like they have had in the past (Devilicous, Nonna's Kitchenette, Seoul Sausage, Bacon Mania, Buttermilk Truck). Obviously some of those trucks are no more, but there are a ton of awesome Cali/AZ trucks . You can't get any of them to come? I hit up my usual favorites Maine Lobster Lady, Jogasaki, Fluff Ice but there wasn't anything to get excited about. I went early in the week so crowds were light and lines were short. The food trucks have to pay to be a part of the event, I understand they raise prices to cover these costs along with gas,etc for the out of area trucks, but $4 for a can of Pepsi? Come on. I'm looking at you TruckU BBQ and you're local! I think I will walk my ass down a couple stalls, pay a buck more and get a fresh lemonade with 1/2 off refills. Come on Red Dragon bring back the Foodie Fest I loved.
