A nice hot dog stand is one thing, but things that involve wrappers can get messy unless there are lots of trashcans around. And not keen on seeing cans everywhere... maybe people could be encouraged to pour their drinks into mugs? Hm....
That's a very good point, and not one I considered before voting. If a modern snack vendor could be convinced to do a medieval-esque setup and wear garb, it would not matter so much what they're selling.
Hey hey hey hey hey...I like the BBQ guy at Pennsic - and I don't give a fig if he's not period...he knows about roasting a pig, and grilling sausage, and about hot and sour BBQ sauces.

A hot dog stand with a period setup? Why not?
We all have coolers in our tents and plastic bags keeping the cheese from getting wet.
No cotton candy though. Cheesy. Even funnel cakes gets a little on the Renn fair side of life.
Are you talking big or small events?
