    The fests I’ve been to have been overpriced but that’s mostly because they’re food truck pricing. They aren’t so much corporate as they’re organized by the city, or a non profit, and so on. Like, imagine an organization that promotes Asian cultures having a Asian food fest.

    Long ago, my wife was a waitress at a mom and pop restaurant that once participated in the other end of a community event and they sold it about the same as usual, but had a limited menu for things that could be cooked in portably. Great food, but we’re talking 16 bucks for fries covered in Okinawan pork belly prepped in advance.

      The better prices I mentioned for the poutine are from chiptrucks. I don’t ever get poutine at a restaurant. It’s always grated cheese and not real squeeky curd.
