Grub Street, for one, argues that it's time for the Moog to give up the ghost, noting that, in addition to the food waste and two disastrous years in a row, the festival simply isn't bringing anything unique to the New York dining scene. Unsurprisingly, many are beginning to question whether or not Superfly should try to bring the Not-So-Great GoogaMooga back for a third year. And of course that will probably do little to allay the anger of food vendors, many of whom are, like Brindle Room, out well over $10,000, despite being told it was a "rain or shine" event. Gothamist gets a rundown from City Harvest, which reportedly got 2,500 pounds of food out of the deal, but much, much more than that was wasted both during the chaos of the initial cancellation and because food banks are restricted in terms of what donations they can accept. If there's any silver lining in this, it's that at least organizers Superfly?while failing for a second year in a row to throw an uncontroversial food festival?were at least able to get some of that food into the hands of deserved charities, including the Food Bank for New York City. When the third day of the second annual Brooklyn foodie shitshow The Great GoogaMooga was cancelled due to weather, potential festival-goers were bummed, food vendors were pissed, and pretty much everybody was cranky about all that wasted food.
