FOOD
A major part of Street Fest is the food offerings. SDC has brought back Tasting Passports to help guests maximize their food spending money and be able to test out these new offerings
STEAK FAJITA LOADED HOT DOG
Lady Liberty
Thoughts: Good combination of flavors. The steak was seasoned nicely. The hot dog was a good quality product. The cheese topped it off perfectly
FRESH FRUIT LIEGE WAFFLE
Taste of the City
Thoughts: This thing was pretty yummy. The one thing (and you will see that it is a common thing this year - the portion is really tiny and we believe this is the full size unless a full size is two waffles instead of one). The waffle was bathed in chocolate and then covered with the toppings that included whipped cream and strawberries.
RECOMMEND
STEAK FAJITAS LOADED RAVIOLI
Lady Liberty
Thoughts: The steak was good here too and the raviolis were fresh so this was an amazing combination of flavors
SMOKED BRISKET TOTCHOS
Hatfield's Tater Patch
Thoughts: This sounded like it would be good on paper, but the execution was just all right. The individual components were tasty, but together it just didn't really work. If you think the portion looks tiny in the photo, it was even worse in real life.
DECENT / SKIP
FAJITA CHICKEN BREAD CONE
Taste of the City
Thoughts: This might have been the winner on this food card. Full sized portion loaded with chicken and the cone tasted like a sweet pretzel. Very good.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
STRAWBERRY FANTA FLOAT
Hannah's
Thoughts: This year's version was a major upgrade from last year. The fruit on top made all the difference. A great treat to enjoy
Final thoughts on this year's offerings. We honestly were disappointed in what was offered. The portions we saw / got at a lot of places were not really worth a "punch", Hopefully as the season goes on this improves on subsequent tasting cards.
