Food and Film Fest: September 4th to September 7th.

The Food and Film Fest: September 4th through the 7th.

Ladies and Gentlemen! We have our first event! Mini-Event, actually. Over the next couple weeks, there will be flyers appearing all over town. In windows. On telephone polls, and even advertisements on TV for the Food and Film Fest!

What is it, you may ask? Well, in the early ours of the morning on the 4th of September, several food trucks will roll into town and don't they smell amazing? Along with those food trucks will be a small variety of vendors selling anything from vintage movie posters (think The Blob (the original) or B horror movies you've probably never even heard of), to fun t-shirts and swag commemorating the festival.

Not only will vendors and trucks be setting up along the main road next to the beach, but three of the larger, empty piers will be set up with chairs and inflatable movie screens and there will be men and women selling movie snacks, too (at reasonable prices!)

Bringing your own chair is encouraged. If you don't have one, either a beach towel down front is okay. Or stop at one of the vendors selling folding hammocks and chairs and claim a spot!

Weaving between the food trucks and the crowd are several street performers. There's a man breathing fire, someone doing a balancing act high up between some palm trees, a break-dancing flash-mob that happens whenever and without warning.

What food trucks are coming, you might ask? Well, just read below!

The Mac Shack will be here for all your customize-able mac and cheese needs. They have several different kinds of cheeses, a few good pasta options and so many various toppings, it's a wonder they fit it all on the truck. Ask nicely and they'll twice bake it for you, topping it off with another handful of cheese before throwing it in the broiler to get it perfect and bubbly.

Pressed not only sells pressed sandwiches of many a variety (there might even be a dessert option or two containing marshmallows, Nutella and strawberries, or a wonderful apple pie version with a flaky biscuit instead of pie dough), but they also sell several kinds of fresh pressed juices including but not limited to:

Apple Juice
Orange Juice
Peach Juice
Watermelon Juice
Mango Juice
Strawberry Juice and a green smoothie or two.

Hole-y Donuts, Batman!

Yep. It's donuts. Fresh made as you watch. Mini-donut batter rings dropping into hot oil, floating along and being flipped by a machine and topped with whatever Saturday morning cereal you want. And if you don't want it coated in fond memories of cartoons and pajamas, you can always get it sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Or drizzled with their strawberry lemonade glaze, or dipped in chocolate and topped with strawberries.

Or plain, we guess. They're good that way, too. And yes, there is coffee. And a variety of soda products. Upsize your soda and you get a Food and Film Fest commemorative Batman cup! We're not really sure what the Dark Knight has to do with donuts, but there it is.

Fire'd Up sells brick-oven pizza on a perfectly crispy-chewy crust. They're all one size, personal size, sadly, but after taking one bite of something that tasty, you might not even want someone to look at your pizza. That's fine. Tell them to get their own, however they want it. Any toppings you can imagine, and then watch them make it, put it in the oven, and then put it in a small box for you within five minutes. Enjoy!

They also have a pizza challenge; ghost-pepper infused pizza sauce, pepperjack cheese and deep-fried habaneros. If you can eat three of these in under ten minutes, you get a t-shirt and $500 bucks. If you don't, your sorry face goes on their Wall of Flames. You have to sign a waver. (Please note, if you want your character to do this, ask mods to roll to see if your character wins the t-shirt and money. There will be one winner total.)


Sundae, Yummy Sundae sells...okay, you guessed it. Sundae's. Any variety. Any toppings you want. Any size you want. They also have milkshakes, floats, frozen chocolate dipped bananas. Waffle cones, sugar cones, pretzel cones, ice cream by the scoop. Ice cream by the gallon! Ice cream by the pint. Fried ice cream. Ice cream sandwiches. It's hot in Beachville. Ice cream is the best solution for this.

For anyone looking for another food challenge, Sundae, Yummy Sundae has the ultimate Banana Boat Sundae food challenge. For two. The prize is $500 to split between the two of you, your picture on their wall of fame and a t-shirt to remember the Food and Film festival by.

Failure gets your face on their Brain Freeze wall.

As stated, this is a two person challenge, so grab your partner and let us know. We'll roll to see how well you did.

This challenge can have three groups of winners.

Twelve scoops of ice cream

Tacos, Tacos, Tacos has some of the best tacos and nachos around. They're made quickly, however you want them. There are strange and unusual options for those that are used to that kind of thing, there are also the usual options to choose from. Expertly marinated, beef, chicken, fish. They even have a fake meat option, for anyone that doesn't care to eat meat. Their salsa is fresh and spicy, their tortillas hand-made and fried on demand for nachos. They have glass bottle sodas and some of the best dulce de leche around.

Place your order and walk away with three tacos of your choice, a side of guacamole, refried beans and seasoned corn. Find somewhere comfortable to sit, because you're going to need to once you've taken that first bite.


Fun in Funnel Cake is just what it says on the tin. Funnel cake, made to order, with several kinds of batters to choose from. They have banana batter, vanilla, chocolate or strawberry and these can be topped with anything from the standard powdered sugar, to cinnamon and sugar or various pie fillings, whipped cream made on premise and always with a cherry on top.


Baked is where you'll find your gourmet cupcakes. There's no run of the mill, basic cupcake here. No, these ones are clearly made with love. From the batter to the buttercream frosting, these cupcakes are pure magic. There's the snickerdoodle cupcake with it's cinnamon and sugar cream cheese frosting and perfectly fluffy cinnamon cake. Or the strawberry lemonade cupcake with a velvetty strawberry buttercream and lemon cake with hints of lemon zest. Their key lime cupcake has a baked meringue topping and the cake is just the right amount of tart lemon flavor.

Whatever kind of gourmet cupcake you can imagine, they probably have.

Poes 'Tatos is where you get your fries, topped with your choice of cheese, and rebaked to perfection. You can also get it topped with bacon, chopped green onions, sour cream or even their homemade chili. Whoever Poe is (and if you ask the current vendor, they'll say Poe retired), they trained their people to make french fries right.

And don't worry, for the adults in the group, there are at least three mobile bars for you to get a drink.

If you want to, you can take your food with you to the movies. After dark, screen one will be playing a variety of Disney films. Moana, Brave, The Princess and the Frog, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty.

Screen Two will be playing action/adventure films from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the original Star Wars Trilogy and even The Princess Bride.

Screen Three is Hitchcock films. Mostly. There's the occasional showing of The Blob, the original black and white one from way back when, but that's at the end of the night and people are expected to run away from the theater, screaming. Just like in the movie. But hold that for the end of the film, okay? Until then, enjoyThe Birds, and Psycho. Rear Window is also on the roster, as is Vertigo, Dial M for Murder and Strangers on a Train.

Each screen will play anywhere from two to three movies a night, up until the wee hours of the morning, so if you missed your movie one night, you'll certainly catch it another night!

Admission for the movies is two bucks a person.

This all sounds great, right? There's just one thing we need you to help us out with;

Some of the vendors are a person or two short. They'll need help. Cooks. Cashiers. Barkers. People to run the projectors. It's only for one night per person, but they'd be grateful. You'll get paid. You'll get free food for the night. You'll even get free movie tickets. Just please help out.

Now, get to plotting! Let us know if your characters are interested in participating in the food challenges.

Volunteer Tracking:

The Mac Shack: needs two volunteers. One Cashier and one Food Runner. Gwen Stacy will be cashier for Saturday night.

Gwen would like to do the Fired Up Pizza Challenge.

She's going to hate herself after but stupidly thinks she has an edge being a Spider-person and all.

I'm sorry Tony's not doing any of this, because .. pseudo heart attack and food contests don't mix (and what is working?). But! He'll definitely be there to party and watch movies :D

Who wants to come chill with him?

Gansey would like to be nerdy with someone. He's more history nerd than science nerd, but he's someone whose curiosity usually gets the better of him.
