The shows bring in more traffic so the restaurants shouldn’t suffer from the food trucks beyond the few hours of the show. If the restaurant owners were smart they would be standing out front with small appetizer samples and paper menus and $1 off coupons. The more people walking past your front door will bring you more customers after the 6hr events end. PEOPLE TRAFFIC is the best thing that can happen for any business. That was what made malls so successful pre-Dot-com days. The restaurant owners shouldn’t and probably don’t complain. They should ask for more events that send thousands of NEW people past their front doors where there would normally be “the same old” folks who are always there.

I spoke to a restaurant owner in Mt Dora about just that and he said he’d pay extra to have one of their large events every month.
