Street Food Eat-lympics Kicks Off in Burbank
As the world gears up for the Summer Olympics in Paris, California is buzzing with its own set of festivities: the 2024 Street Food Eat-lympics. With street food from 30 nations featured to commemorate the expected top medalists, this week-long event seeks to crown the ultimate street food champion.
With the opening ceremony set and the ceremonial lighting of the "Eat-lympic cupcake," the competition commenced with the opening heat. Participants would taste-test various street food delicacies and assign them scores based on a four-category system: eye catchiness, mouth wateringness, novelty and ingenuity, and untapped popularity.
