What's a $6 Taste?
It’s our signature perfect tasting portion, a small plate carefully crafted by every vendor so you don't have to choose between trying something new and getting what you love. Good for your curiosity, your cravings and your wallet. Just enough for you to get a Taste for what each vendor has in store, so you can try it all without having to commit!
