Each food truck is strongly encouraged to create one small portion menu sampler platter to include a sample of each of their trucks specialty items. We also suggest offering smaller portions and a limited menu, this will help keep lines moving and give guests the opportunity to try items from multiple trucks this is based upon feedback from fans who attended last year.
