A light crowd at Bumbershoot, clear skies, aging rocker Elvis Costello the sole remaining star after Devo bailed. But Devo's Burritos made it over from Pullman, along with a lineup of new and returning vendors.
Overall, menus seemed both healthier and less expensive than last year. For every booth selling traditional deep-fried fare like Elephant Ears, there was one offering grilled fish or fresh fruit. Even the ubiquitous hot dog vendors have seen the light: I gobbled down a delicious low-fat Vietnamese chicken sausage from Frankfurter, of all places.
As for that pink Volcano at the International Fountain Lawn, it was just a backdrop for entertainment, not the flue from one of the mobile kitchens.
