On Sunday, Vince, Drake and I went to the Food Truck Festival over at Talking Stick/Salt River Fields. Originally Brent/Alisa and crew were going to join us...but decided not to....so we 3 went solo (together). It turned out to be a lot of fun, but also a lot of expensive! When I think of food trucks, I think cheap food. Not these days with these gourmet chefs and gourmet menus! So, you have to pay to get in....then you have to buy food tickets so you can buy food & drinks. Each "item" that you can buy at a truck costs anywhere between 3-10 tickets (at $1 per ticket). So, we decided we better pick a few favorites and stick to those, instead of trying a little of everything, which was my original plan! So, Drake picked Indian Fry Bread with beans & cheese on it. Vince got one of those too. I held out for the Lobster Grilled Cheese sandwiches! The line for this one was about an hour long...but oh so worth it! Glad we got there early because it was over twice that when we left! We also tried some cajun gumbo with sausage.......green chili mac & cheese....a green chili & cheese baked potato. Drake had a funnel cake for dessert too. So, we got to try a few things, and were definitely full....but also about $100 in the hole. Yes, $100 for 3 people to eat some food truck food.
Oh well, it was a really fun event and very cool to see all the crazy trucks...and their crazy & fun menus! Next time we would probably limit ourselves a little more on what we try....and maybe share more of the items!
One of the BBQ food trucks....an old converted bus that was actually REALLY cool!
