Heard it was a cluster. Think Po Boy fest with king cakes.

saw on my Instagram that a lot of broads and fat guys in Perlis Mardi Gras polos went. looked like a New Orleans Pinterest page threw up on Champions Square.

I walked in at 12:15 and was told that they ran out of tickets for King cake pieces and that they had no idea when they were coming; it could take 15-30 minutes. The king cake lines were empty, the beer and food lines were 30 people deep. I left.

It sucked. Needed some savory food. I bought $10 in tickets and gave away $5.
There was one bakery that had a line of 50+ people. I didn't even try to get in line.

I thought it was a nice event, but being the inaugural, obviously they'll learn some things.
1) Need more beer tents.
2) NEED MORE SAVORY FOOD! I know it's a king cake fest, but savory food is still needed. The lines for the 2 food trucks were outrageous.
The lines were long, but I found that they moved pretty quickly...even the 1 line that was NUTS. I was thrilled that I waited in that line, because they had a crawfish bread type "king cake" and it was delicious.
I was not impressed at all with the king cakes. I only ate 3 that I thought were good, and I probably tried about 13-15.
The good ones were...
Nonna Randazzo (regular)
Gerald's Donuts (cream cheese filled)
Carotzzo's (crawfish)
I did hear that they had run out of tickets earlier, but they got more by the time I got there. I was there 1-3.
The music was good.

I really hope we can all be such a fashion observer as you one day. Have you ever considered a career in writing for a hollywood magazine to review the fashion statements at the big parties?

I had two sets of friends who went and said it was a great event. One even brought their kids with them(gasp) and had a great time.
Waaay bigger turnout that anyone expected, but I'm sure the weather helped out with that.
And a big congrats goes out to Haydel's for winning the top award.

i enjoyed it. brought a friend there bc its where he wanted to go for his bday meal i was treating him to. i spent too much, but it went to a church and he was happy. we tried almost every type of food there was. and the band was decent yesterday.

I did the tet fest Saturday. I didn't care for it at all. I had some spring rolls, and they were good. I tried 2 different banh mi and they were both just o.k. Then I got a bowl of curry goat that was $15 and it was 99% fat...maybe 2 oz. of meat.
Also, the band was TURRIBLE! The guy couldn't carry a tune to save his life. It was painful. The music was also so loud that you couldn't even talk to someone sitting right next to you in the area that was set up with tables so you could sit down to eat.

i went sunday. didnt get the curry. we got pho, an eggroll, spring rolls, a meatball banh mi, and some kabobs which were all decent for the price. drank lots of beer and played that gambling spinning wheel game. we drank a ton of beer and the sound seemed okay sunday.
