ACL food court is a-rockin’
I showed up to serve tacos at the El Chilito booth at noon today, but there were only a handful of people eating so early in the day. They were prepared though: vats and vats of filling ready to go and plenty of still-energetic staff to work the customers.
Oh how things change in just a few hours.
I went back to the booth just awhile ago and things were hoppin’, but not like they were over at Hudson’s. As you’d expect, the lines for chicken cones were already starting to form, and the cheery staff couldn’t be happier that business was bustling (Imagine the tips they are looking at if every customer leaves a dollar. Heck, even if every other customer left a dollar, those Hudson kids are leaving with pockets overflowing at the end of each night.)
Hudson’s chef and owner Jeff Blank was in good spirits, too, not just because his booth was doing well but because everything seemed to be running smoothly with the food court as a whole. He’s been leading the vendors for years now, and each of them that I talked to couldn’t say enough about how helpful he’s been in coordinating this massive event.
Aquarelle chef and co-owner Terry Wilson, who says she was up all night with her son who has a pretty bad earache, said despite not getting much sleep, everything was going well at her restaurant’s inaugural booth.
