Three things to note. 1) There is far too much food for a normal human to eat at that place. 2) I'm not sure I'm a normal human any more :) 3) People are so concerned about stuffing their fat faces that the usual rules of politeness in public are gone out of the window. More on that later. Parking was well organised and fairly well lit. Not much problem getting in at all. There wasn't much of a wait at any of the tables. There was a great selection to choose from, and choose you must. I didn't plan ahead and tried stuff that I should probably have skipped (Who doesn't know what Hooter's wings taste like? :) ). I'm sure I only managed to try half of the stuff that was out there. We got there at about 6:30pm and by 7:45pm we were stuffed and ready to leave. A few places served way too much food. Whole Foods had a great selection and were right at the front. Actually went back for more cheese! You can see all the participating places at www.tasteofplano.org For $30 for the two of us - great value for the amount of food we had access to. It's like a multi-cultural buffet! On top of that, all the money goes to Plano ISD so it's for a good cause too. On the point of politeness, if you cut in front of me, do not expect me to slow down just for you - you will be tripped over if you're in way of my stide. Second, do not try and push your way past me. At 209lbs (down from 275lbs so not quite as solid as I used to be :) ) I will not budge and you'll probably be the one with a sore shoulder. Thank you.
