Food to Match

Denver is a very happening place. There's almost always some sort of event or festival going on somewhere in metro Denver. My family and I have been to a few of them and I am always surprised when the food doesn't match the event. For instance, a couple years ago on my birthday, we went to the Oktoberfest in downtown. We don't drink, so we certainly weren't there for the beer. I was looking forward to some German food. Nope! There was only one booth that had schnitzel and brats. Everything else was funnel cakes, hamburgers, Thai, Mexican. Everything but German. I was disappointed. For our 12th anniversary, we went to the Denver Dragon Boat Festival. I'm thinking..."Mmmmm...Asian food." Not really. Funnel cakes, burritos, hotdogs, and mostly American fare. Only one booth had Asian food. A couple weeks ago, we went to the Celtic Festival. I'm looking for Haggis, Shepherd's Pie, Fish and Chips, and Bangers and Mash. Nope. Jamba Juice, Funnel Cake, Brats/Dogs, and ice cream. The closest we got to Celtic cuisine were some flavored almonds sold by an actual Scottish man (complete with accent). They were yummy, but not what I was hoping for. So, here's what I'm proposing, Denver. Why not have the food match the event? If you have a German festival, have German food! Asian festival? How about Asian food? Celtic? How about Celtic themed food booths? It makes sense to me. But, it's one of Denver's quirks, I guess. At least they all got one thing right....Funnel Cake! Even if it's not Asian, German, or Celtic....it still rocks!
