Oh Foodie Fest! How you broke my heart this year!
I have been in past years and was used to the idea of paying $10 to get in and then pay the trucks for their Food Truck ambrosia delights at their regular full prices. I won't spend a lot of time on the cost factor but will mention the trucks should make smaller portions at reduced prices so those people like myself can try a little bit of everything.
This year I have to give props to the Slap Yo Mamma truck and their gator tacos. They were delicious!
Fukuburger a normal 5 star truck disappointed us by serving our Burgers bloody and under cooked on the first night. 2nd day the Burgers were cooked to perfection but then they were out of Naga Dogs. It was the first time we were ever disappointed with this truck.
The daughter loved the fried candy station. Don't know how she lives with me and I never exposed her to deep fried Reese's peanut butter cups or Twinkies but we had to get back in line for more of those.
We also couldn't find fried pickles anywhere...where oh where were you Redneck Kitchen?
Rides were a little expensive but still the best part of the foodie fest. How sad is that? You are at a food truck fest and the sub par/over priced rides were the best part of the event?
All in all it was a horrible experience this year and I hope the Silverton brings back the group that put it on in years past as this year they failed miserably in my humble opinion.
