The lines are long. The food is expensive. Everyone in the group wants to eat something different. The food taste is a gamble. There are few places to eat.
Does everyone stick together and wait in all of the lines? Split up and meet at some location? Eat on the way to the festival and just hang out?
- Wander around as a group
- Look at all the different options
- Split up
- Get what you want
- Meet back up
- Share if you want
Repeat steps 3-6 as needed
Do it in steps:
- Survey each cart, to see what’s available.
- Everyone goes and gets what they want.
- Meet back at designated eating area.
When lines are super long it can be fun to go for the trucks with the shortest wait as you can discover some gems and also see which trucks have their systems down and are worthwhile to support.
I’m also a fan of splitting up to and reconnecting later. But I hate walking around in large groups- no one really gets what they are after.
Why wasn’t “not go” an option?
Everyone gets a bit of food and yall share it to taste everything.
Also… why is the food so expensive? Food trucks usually far undercut restaurant prices.
I could be out of touch with restaurant prices. $13 for plain cheese burger is high ($16 decked out). $6 for a side of fries.
Depends on the local market.
Assuming you go to a good food truck, my experience with food trucks is GENERALLY that the food quality is as good as a high end restaraunt of the same type (because they only do 2 or 3 things) but with slightly lower prices however its still noticably more expensive than a “pretty good” item from a “pretty good” restaurant.
Like… your getting a 9/10 for 7/10 prices, but you can get a 5/10 for 5/10 price anywhere.
