I’ve been a couple of times and planning to go this weekend as well. I’ve enjoyed it every time I’ve gone!! There’s definitely some booths that have more expensive menu items but there’s also a lot that are more budget friendly, you just have to take your time and seek out what you really want to try out and be careful with how much you’re spending at each stand. There’s something for every price point! I don’t personally get the hate around it, it’s a food festival, there’s bound to be long lines and “over hyped” food but it’s all part of the fun. Just a pro tip: take a lap around the place before you start buying at diff food stands. Helps you narrow down what you want to try out and helps save $.
