| - Fun and food coma inducing weekend over by Silverton. Basically a food truck smorgasbord, including some local favorites. Oh and can't forget the live music and DJs. So here are my pros and cons of the event..
Lets start with location. Convenient for me and most I'd imagine. Right off the 15 with plenty of free parking. The space (Silverton parking lot) was pretty huge and fit all the vendors comfortably. ATMs were set up everywhere, which was smart. And the important stuff, the food itself, was pretty amazing. Gator tacos, sisig burritos, fusion cuisine galore, oh and don't forget the fried stuff! Live entertainment was a nice touch too. Overall, a family friendly environment with rides for the folks who didn't overeat! Yeah, that wasn't me lol
Couple of things I didn't like. 8 bucks for the day when your meal including a drink would cost around 20? That's almost $30. For food trucks, that ain't cheap! And the prices of the actual food items seemed higher than what they should be. 10 bucks for a po' boy? 17 for a small lobster roll? 11 for a grilled cheese. Again, don't get me wrong... They were all delicious, but damn, that's straight wallet raping right there! And don't call it a beer garden when all ya got is miller light, MGD and an $8 fosters. Tom foolery!
I hate to end this rant on a negative note, so let me finish by saying.. I had a great time this weekend getting my eat on while listening to some pretty good tunes. Discovered and enjoyed some new things (gator tacos are so bomb). And spent some time with great people. Money aside, what more can you ask for? The end =)
