Madd Max Tastes Downtown Burbank

At the "A Taste of Downtown Burbank." The city shut down a stretch of the main thoroughfare, and about 30 local restaurants set up tents up where you could sample their food. To the background of live music, Maddie enjoyed a spring roll, a chicken taco, pizza, and ice cream.
It was delicious, especially for Jess, who got there as soon as it started, which meant she could jump from tent to tent to tent. The working people arrived later, which meant longer lines, and crankier kids.
The Findleys powered through, and Ellie got her second wind when she was given the freedom to use her new skill of walking in and out of the open stores.
Erin and John arrived just in time to see the kid's final breakdown. As they headed to the beer and wine garden, and the rest of us headed home, we vowed to follow their example next year. Burbank will taste that much sweeter for that much longer with the purely over 21 set.
