Suggestions for items to cook/sell for an outdoor festival

What are some things to cook that are not super labor intensive but still provide good options to eat while you walk. (Festival is mid November)

What equipment do you have? Jambalaya pots, bbq pit, fryers? Are you trying to make a profit?

Something that can easily be eaten while walking.
Something in a bowl- jamabalaya or some sort of shrimp pasta is always good

Jambalaya, pastalaya, gumbo will always be the easiest and cheapest.
You can go different with stews (shrimp stew, pork stew, sauce piquante). Crawfish Monica is a hit, depending on crawfish cost. You can make a past with a cream sauce and grilled chicken breast.
Turkey legs are always expensive and have to be sold at a high price. Fish is expensive right now. Footlong corndogs are excellent but almost impossible to get frozen footlongs right now.
Boudin eggrolls would be awesome if you have the help to prep them. As would seafood stuffed pistolettes.
Good quality nachos or tacos could be good, but maybe not a huge seller.

pulled pork nachos.
smoke the butts, shred, scoop and put on top of nachos.
let customer put their own toppings that are in squirt bottles or with tongs on table.
boundin on pit
sausage on a stick
gumbo isnt hard to make a huge batch and serve
chili pies in a small corn chip bag

I would pick the opposite of what others are selling. You would rather be the only vendor selling frito pies and corndogs, instead of one out of five vendors selling jambalaya.
Of all items mentioned so far, a crawfish pistolette would be most appealing to me right now.

Agree with what other posters have said about not competing with the same dish as other vendors. Looks like there will already be jambalaya and pulled pork sandwiches.
I can't speak to the profitability of the other options, but crawfish pistolettes and shrimp dishes done right are always appreciated, but seafood costs may cut down profitability. Meat pies, perhaps with some degree of creativity, might work well.

We sell sausage poboy plates for a total cost of $3 per plate. That is for a sams club link of rabideauxs sausage, a wonder brand soft poboy bun, a 2oz ramekin of sauce, a small bag of chips, and a bottle of water. If you just wanted to sell the poboy wrapped in foil, you could probably do it for about $2 a piece. You would sell as many as you want for $5 because those things are huge (that’s what she said).
