Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending "Taste of DC”, which is a food truck festival that happens a few times a year. I found this event on Groupon and they were offering a deal on tickets prices since it was being held on Easter.  I would like to consider myself to be a foodie, so I love that DC offers lots of events through out the year where food is the focal point of the event. The event took place from 11am-6pm on the Navy Yards and there were several food trucks, vendors, and beverage stations. While walking around I was able to sample a lot of beers and wines and also get some free promotional swag that certain vendors were distributing such as lip balm and sunglasses.  The headlining sponsor for the event was Budweiser. There was promotional signage for Budweiser around the event and also all the cups that were handed out for the beers and other drinks were in Budweiser cups. All the food trucks that I tried were simply amazing between my friend and I we went to three different food trucks. We tried Red hook lobster pound, Dc Slices and Thai Gourmet. All of the trucks were serving their popular dishes to get the word out about their trucks, which was a good marketing tactic for the trucks. My Favorite dish had to be the lobster roll from the Red Hook Lobster pound truck. It was my first time trying a lobster roll and I was quite impressed! One of the best aspects of this event was the volunteer that were working at the different beverage stations. Everyone was very friendly and it made the event even better by seeing such positive attitudes from everyone at each of the stations.
