The NFL Draft may have dazzled TV viewers and diehard fans, but local businesses and food trucks faced a rough reality. John and Jim dissect the disconnect: with 600,000 visitors expected, many food vendors were left with excess stock, some losing big. "Cheese Curd Nick" joins to give his take on what worked and what didn't. Pittsburgh, take notes: balancing hype with realistic expectations is key. And remember, the crowd's focus is the draft, not local eats.
