I could be out of touch with restaurant prices. $13 for plain cheese burger is high ($16 decked out). $6 for a side of fries.
Comment on What are you supposed to do at a food truck festival?

Everyone gets a bit of food and yall share it to taste everything.
Also… why is the food so expensive? Food trucks usually far undercut restaurant prices.

Depends on the local market.
Assuming you go to a good food truck, my experience with food trucks is GENERALLY that the food quality is as good as a high end restaraunt of the same type (because they only do 2 or 3 things) but with slightly lower prices however its still noticably more expensive than a “pretty good” item from a “pretty good” restaurant.
Like… your getting a 9/10 for 7/10 prices, but you can get a 5/10 for 5/10 price anywhere.

That is a great perspective. The burgers were pretty good. Much better than fast food.

At the local sporting events, the food trucks are ridiculously priced. In gas station parking lots, they’re pretty good deals.
So I’m assuming that at a food truck festival they’d be stupidly expensive.

That’s prices for good fast food like Five Guys. Restaurants are more

That’s what I was about to say. That makes no sense. Unless OP is outside their hoke country at like a tourist trap maybe.

Depends. There are some places where food trucks have been hyped up way too much. In some areas food trucks feel justified charging more because of the “cool” factor.
