With so many delicious options to choose from, it can be overwhelming to decide where to start. One helpful tip is to plan out all the food items you want to try and order them all at once from the register stand with the shortest line. This way, you can pick up your food whenever you're ready without having to wait in multiple lines. On opening day, the Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo booth had the shortest line and the most open cashiers, making it a prime choice for quick service.
