What time is it boys and girls? Why, it’s avocado time, of course! Avocado & Pepper Jack Petite Guacamole Burger, $7.75 While rather tasty, this slider is rather small for the price.

Here is the problem when all of your other booths are themed after a specific food. You need a catch-all booth for what’s left. Here, we have chicken, beef, and dairy. So Cluck-a-Doodle-Moo is the hilariously-named catch-all booth of the festival. Grilled Harris Ranch Beef Tenderloin Slider with Chimichurri Sauce, $8.00 Last year this appeared … Read more

Jalapeño Popper Mac & Cheese with Bacon, $7.50 Both of the mac and cheese offerings this year were quite different from … Read more
The LA Style booth returns this year, and two of the three food items are holdovers from last year. We will warn you, the new items don’t make this booth any better. Korean BBQ Beef Short Rib Tacos, $7.50 Last year this was $7.00, and we felt it wasn’t a great value then, and … Read more
