Kaelan's first Strawberry Rhubarb pie. Holy deliciousness. 

I never had rhubarb before, and Kaelan always talked about how he use to eat them back in Indiana.

We have tried finding fresh rhubarb out here but haven't had the best of luck of finding any or any fresh ones. I finally came across some at a local farmer's market store and picked up some fresh strawberries also. The taste is very tangy, so it can surprise you on your first bite but you get used to it eventually. The crust is homemade and it was so buttery and flakey, one of the best pie crusts I've ever had.

Las Vegas Foodie Fest -

We've been to a food truck meet up before and we were not that impressed with it. This time we decide to go to this Las Vegas Foodie Fest because 1) there are over 30+ food trucks from all over the country 2) there's a beer/liquor served there 3) there's also a carnival there.

Well..... this is a three day event. We went on the second day around 2 pm. We had bought our tickets advance online, which was a joke. You pay $8.50 online and if you buy it at the door it's $10 and the cash line was way faster than our line.

They were promoting all over town and the White Castle burger was going to be there. We do not have a White Castle here in Las Vegas, or on the west coast I believe. So I really wanted to try it. I had saw on Friday people mention the wait at the White Castle line was at least 2 hours, I had changed my mind but still hoping it would be better on Saturday when we went. But no.... the wait was even worse on Saturday. I guess you can buy them 100 burgers at at time, but the truck only had 2 grills. So you can imagine why the wait is so long. We end up just going to the other trucks instead. 

The event was poorly organized, they should've know how popular White Castle was going to be and maybe had more than 1 White Castle truck there. Or put a limit on how many burgers you can buy. Overall it was fun, but I don't think I will go again and pay $10 to get in and on top of that pay for all the food. It can get very expensive very quickly. But all and all, it was a fun experience.

And now the infamous White Castle burger. As you can see, the line wait is 4+ hours, and they even had 2 lines going. As we left this area, they just changed the wait time to 5 hours. Craziness!

What else can you get that's deep fried? Everything!
