Holy Moses! Can you say unorganized? I know this was a first time event, but geez.
Was invited as a Yelp Elite judge and no one (staff) knew where the meet up point was. Walked around aimlessly for about 40 minutes before someone I recognized told me where the group was. We were supposed to start at 12 noon and didn't get started until 12:40. We walked as a group back and forth to the ticket area twice to get tickets for the food. Were promised 5 drink coupons but only received one. None of the food vendors took drink coupons (which was not explained before hand) and the one location that did accept them sold out before we could even get over there.
We were able to try SOME of the food. Many vendors said they were not providing samples because of the problems they had the day before and that they lost money on them. Others said they had no idea that there was an Elite judging event and simply denied food. Even more appalling, some of the vendors were downright rude. The staff member who briefed us about the judging (Aspen) even warned us that some of the vendors were "stressed out" and to "expect to get some attitude." Seriously????? Attitude???? Very frustrating for those of us who took the time to apply as judges and came out of our way to help with the event.
The sorbetto cart and Coyote's Oaties were the best the event had to offer. There was also a very good panini truck that I would recommend you try. If you're in the mood for BBQ, you're in luck. I'd say over half of the vendors there were offering BBQ.
Whomever coordinated this event (at least with regard to the judging) needs a refresher course. This was an extremely poorly planned event with vendors who were very ill informed of what was supposed to be going on.
I'll pass on coming back next year.
