[quote="C187 More then enough camps would be happy to have you around. But you should look into what the camps are and what they do. A mega camp could be all like, "come on down, dude! You'll have a blast!" When what they really mean is, "pay a chunk of cash, then once you get here we're going to make you cook all the camp meals."
I'm not say'n you shouldn't offer up your cooking skills. In fact you should play on them. But just be mindful of who your going to cook for. Although you could always take those truffles and gift them out the BRC (with proper health permits and such).[/quote]
Yup, what C187 said^^^^ and be cautious...don't allow anyone to take advantage of your offer to "chef"
I'd say try to join a camp of about 30 or so, with others helping of course.
You will want to ice chest/cooler the chocolate some, maybe give much away earlier in the week, then go have a fun burgin time without fretting over tons of valuable chocolate melting.
Health permits are $39.00 for 7 days, what a hassle and waste of money....there are plenty who give food as gifts without a health permit, as long as the ones who recieve the gifts are your "freinds or campmates"
Oh and you can simply make a "foody" freind within a milisecond on the playa....
Question; "wanna be my freind?"
Answer; "yes" bingo, now you may legally give your new freind a truffle.
I may get frowned upon for stating that but we are talking about a bunch of chocolate candy here, sheesh.Yes, major food camps, they have the permits; it'd be interesting to hear what the Nevada Health Dept looks for at burning man. Probably dust and meat temps, oookkaaayy...oh and fee$!! they like fee$
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If any camp attempts to turn you into the camp cook/slave...pack your stuff and move to another part of the city or another nice camp. period.
Do NOT allow them to ruin your burn.
Have enough food and water to relocate. I spoke to a virgin couple who used the brc rangers to get their food water etc (so they could relocate) the camp would NOT allow them to have their food, water and possesions.
The rangers did an excellent job!! no cops involved and the virgins quickly recovered and had a great time, all the wiser.
I'm the MAN in a truck, burner who is stuck, you're in luck! I'll whip out my BIG tow chain and not charge you, not even one lousy buck!
OK: This IS gonna be the year!: 
Is there a group of experienced Burners I can be a part of? 
I can offer up my cheffing skills 
AND: I also have 200 lbs of my chocolate truffles that I can bring too! 
BTW: My truffles are SHELF-STABLE so temp isn't an issue. 
Also have an SUV as well if it's needed...
