The Coffee Wars Continue
Living in San Francisco, I have so many coffee options that these three are not on the radar. I think liking McD's coffee here is more dependent on finding a location with decent staff. Don't have Dunkin Donuts here but Starbucks tends to have nicer locations and more knowledgeable baristas.
The Fest: Our Humblest Apologies to All
I would like to thank Ed for his vision for this event. It was an amazing concept and judging from the turnout there is an overwhelming demand for an event like this. One problem I haven't seen mentioned, even though it was billed as a Food and Music event, 95% of the people were there solely for the food. What I saw was enough people to fill the seats and lawn of the amplitheater but no one was there, they were all in line at one of 12 food tents. If this is to happen again, the crowd capacity needs to be reversed. Much more room for many more food tents and maybe even some picnic tables for people to sit and eat, and a much smaller focus on music. The music is a nice touch but most of us considered it background music to eat by. Compare yesterday's set up to something like Taste of Chicago. There you have multiple city blocks of food tents so the massive crowds have more access. Enough people have already disagreed with the statement about it being better after 4pm, it wasn't. Having eaten at many of the restaurants I do hope that someone was able to enjoy the food though. As epically bad as yesterday was, I would come again if the event was set up differently.
The Great American Food & Music Fest Is Today!
I too had great expectations for this event. I would be angrier if not for this complete and epic failure being so astounding I can't help but laugh. Angry people were leaving as I walked in a 3pm. The payment system broke down. You could smell delicious food all around you, but you could not get any. I feel bad for the people that paid 110.00 for all you can eat and spent 4 hours in food lines for nothing. I at least got a bagel for my 20.00 admission. I have never seen any event crash and go down if flames so spectactularly. The really bad thing is that alcohol was readily available but no food and most people didn't eat before coming. Oh boy.
