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?

    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.

      Depends. There are some places where food trucks have been hyped up way too much. In some areas food trucks feel justified charging more because of the “cool” factor.

      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.

        At the local sporting events, the food trucks are ridiculously priced. In gas station parking lots, they’re pretty good deals.

        So I’m assuming that at a food truck festival they’d be stupidly expensive.

      That’s what I was about to say. That makes no sense. Unless OP is outside their hoke country at like a tourist trap maybe.
