Pretty nice array of vendors. I bought a little something from most of the folks there. We were very dissapointed in Taco Lu. Bangin taco was fine, but the other two were not. The bacon sliders from Chew Chew were very good. Jon Boat was good.

Trash cans were needed. Only a few of the food trucks had them and they were overflowing in the first hour.  Otherwise good event for the vendors.  They were selling out early.

While I was standing eating my Taco Lu (which I thought was pretty good), someone came by and changed out the bag in the trash can there.  But yes, more trash cans - and recycling bins - were needed.  I was standing because people were camping out at the picnic tables. Most at the tables were eating, but some were clearly just hanging out.

I had not realized the location moved from the Burrito Gallery lot. Loving this much more!

The Korean vegan food truck was amazing. I don't remember their name though. Their from Gainesville. Jaxsons market is a hit!

I didn't talk to them but their sign said "Heart and Seoul." Haha, I didn't get to try their food (just the tea) so I hope they return!!

I hope they come back also. Their dishes were incredible and unique. I tried two of their dishes. Their faux meat had the same look, texture and taste ad real meat. It was crazy!

I would definitely recommend bringing a small chair though. Not enough tables. I had to fight off these kids for their spot lol

Here is a nice recap of the market from Jacksonville Magazine:

We're also having something called a 'build your own vegan nacho bar'. I've tasted the vegan nacho 'cheese' and it is delicious!

Taco Lu is back this week as are several new food vendors along with the already mentioned Girls Gone Green vegan nacho bar: Humble Pie-wood fired pizza, Wrap It Up- delicious wraps and 5 Loaves 2 Fish- a farm to truck style food truck.

Maybe... Five Loaves have it on a pic of a daily menu on their FB page:  https://www.facebook.com/5Loaves2FishTruck/photos/pb.609037882510012.-2207520000.1408643997./697102257036907/?type=1&theater

Some of the other options look good as well.

This was a great small event. I really want to know where the folks who attend live? Downtown? Did not look like the downtown crowd to me.

I saw two of my friends from Riverside and it was their first time as was mine.

I was incredibly pissed off about one thing:

$5 cans of Intuition Beer. I like their product, but no way in hell it's worth $5 a can. That is an insult to the folks who attended the event and the citizens of Jacksonville in general. I would love to see Bold City set up next to them. Competition would be nice. I cannot tell you how angry that made me. Obviously I went without a beer.
I plan on getting a pint in a cold glass for less at Pele's in a few minutes. Not sure I want to buy any more of Intuition.
