text: I was concerned as to who selected The Venue and what City Official inspected it There was absolutely no handicap access beyond the lobby Are there not regulations and laws regarding this No one in the entire Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce nor The City are familiar with ADA American Disabilities ActnnAdditionally if a fire had started with all that food cooking what a bloody disaster with one staircase and obscure exit signs Trash from the few available table tops literally piled up a foot and we saw NO staff assigned to clean upnnAs far as the winners go the Judges must have gone through years of tastebud corrosion by overuse of garlic salt and grease It is the only explanation for selecting El Palacio My husband and I much preferred Honey Bears BBQnnSpice does NOT solely include peppers There was NO Italian food represented NO Indian or Middle Eastern selections and NO EthiopianAfrican food I mean if we are only looking for hot hotter and hottest then Ethiopian is the real ticket The drink volumes were miserly including tepid water with NO ICE The Venue was hot muggy overly crowded and ridiculously LOUDnnALL THIS DURING THE FIRST HOUR Yeesh Needless to say we left And yes we had visited and tasted selections from every food vendor involved in the event IN AN HOURnnThe upside We found some fabulous restaurants to explore However my husband I have decided not attend this event ever again
