Peacock Park was overtaken on Sunday for the annual Taste of the Grove. The weather was perfect and the food was delicious but I have some suggestions for next year:
1) Give decent size food. $5.00 for a tiny hors d'oeuvres is not right.
2) Mark the booths. Put huge numbers on top so they can be seen across the park, and put corresponding numbers in the program so booths can be easily located.
3) How about tables? Would it kill someone to set up a tent and picnic tables? It isn't easy holding drinks and food and trying to eat. The grass was damp and not comfortable to sit on.
4) How about a mist system, for when the sun gets too hot?
5) A Rolaids booth may be a perfect booth. I may set one up next year and sell the Rolaids for one ticket per roll.
6) More free samples.
7) And next year, enough with the dogs. No dogs allowed.

We were vendors at the Tasting of the Grove. I was honored that my boss asked me to represent our restaurant. After having to push racks and racks of food, ice bins and other supplies from our location, I think it was well worth the $5.00 price for the food.
ReplyDeleteOur executive chef took a lot of time planning for that big day. At the end of the day we knew that we did great at the event. Hopefully we will do it again next year!
Some places were giving out crackers for $5.00. Maybe you weren't one of them, but those that did left a "bad taste", no pun intended. And most likely, their restaurants won't be visited by the people that were given the crackers. We are some of them.
ReplyDeleteThe point is to "taste" the restaurants, not be scammed by them so they can make a profit that day.
