Turn the Ramble into a Restaurant Fest

No one ever listens to me anyway, but I’ve been suggesting for years that with all the food vendors at the Ramble, why not create a restaurant festival with them all.

Why? Because people can only eat one meal.

I know that sounds obvious, but when you eat one meal from one food vendor, dozens of other food vendors are left out. 

If a food vendor is in a bad location, or has bad signage, or is just not recognized, they may sell very few platters which makes for a bad day.

Here’s my suggestion. 

Give folks a choice to either buy a full platter from their favorite food vendor, or for the average price of a platter ($7 to $12), purchase a strip a tickets which allows them to receive samples from several food vendors.

With samples, there’s a greater chance that more food vendors will be offering more food to more people which makes it worth their time and money to come out. 

I know for a fact that there are always food vendors that do really well and others that do really bad at the Ramble. At least with the samples, all of them have a better chance of generating business as opposed to the all-or-nothing situation that goes on now. 

When you get hungry on Saturday, with the great variety of food that will be on hand, consider creating a meal for yourself by buying a side item from several vendors. 

Enjoy your day at the Ramble and support as many vendors as you can.
