| - The Las Vegas Foodie Fest is one of those places that you have to try at least once whether you're local or just happen to be in town.
Couple of things first...
-There's nothing really healthy here
-It's all about the food trucks
-You will have to pay for admission
-Prices for almost everything is double and almost triple for what you get
-Expect a long line at White Castle, which in my opinion is an overrated greasy mess.
All that being said, I still had a fun time at this year's Foodie Fest. I admit, I never really got into this whole "Food Truck" thang. I use to live in San Diego where once a year we had the Del Mar Fair. If you ever been, then you would know that the Del Mar Fair is all food trucks.
But I learned to appreciate the food trucks and enjoy the fun eating that comes with it. First of all, we were very lucky that we didn't experience the lines to enter and lines at each stop. We avoided White Castle, which looked like a 45 minutes wait just for their infamous sliders. Places we tried included the Buttermilk Truck for their red velvet pancakes, Tasty Island for their Jamaican beef patty, Tornado Potato for the garlic fries on a stick, Nonna's for a couple of sliders and Risotto balls, Devilicious for the lobster grilled cheese sandwich, and the Cookie Bar for sweets. My favorite was Devilicious' lobster grilled cheese. All of this was grubbin' was obtainable Terri R and I shared everything. Overall, I am a fan of the Foodie Fest because it's fun and you get to nom on some eats/treats that only come around about twice a year.
So, here's my tip...
-Don't go here if you're on a diet
-Come here hungry
-Don't get caught up with one food truck. Instead, buy from multiple food trucks and sample.
-There's more than just food trucks here. Enjoy what else the Foodie Fest has to offer (i.e. the Rice Rocket Car Show, Rides, Music, Store Vendors, etc)
-Find the Yelp tent and hang out. Always cool to bump into fellow Yelpers, especially ones that are friends.
