Lots of food to sort through and we are gonna give you the inside scoop on the best eats at the 2015 Rock N Green Tomato festival.  Or as we call it our patented MUST EATS!

 

MUST EATS:

— THE FRIED GREEN TOMATOES:  Miamisburg Athletic Boosters have been selling these for years.  They are a must eat, and the crispiest, most delicious bites of the festival.

— GREEN TOMATO PIE:  You don’t like green tomatoes?  Wait a minute, do you like apple pie?  Then you will love this stuff. Keep an open mind and don’t go all “little emperor” on us, and we bet you like it.  The ladies selling these pies do a terrific job, so grab a piece of the cinnamon goodness, sit next to Elvis and enjoy.

— HAMBURGER WAGON:  Get the legend between 2 buns here.  It’s with a pickle, salt, pepper and onion because this icon “dont need no stinkin’ condiments.”  There is also a Hamburger Wagon Burger eating contest that usually takes place around 2pm.

— RON’S GREEN TOMATO AND BACON PIZZA:  One of the staples at the festival, and a fun treat for kids.  Pizza never looked so colorful.  The soft tomatoes and the bacon make for the perfect texture and crunch.  

— RON’S BACON and GREEN TOMATO SANDWICHES: New to the festival this year !  Call it the festival version of a BLT, and a MUST EAT !  Another magical creation from Ron’s Pizza.

— WALT’S GREEN TOMATO SALSA: Special batches made just for the Rock N Green Tomato festival.  This salsa is packed with flavor and of course, green tomatoes.  Yet another great salsa option with Walt’s signature taste and recipe !

There is so much more food to try including food trucks and vendors, so explore the grounds and your taste boundaries!

Don’t “no show” this festival !  Instead, hike around the grounds and enjoy the food and the music.  Heck, toss a few cornhole bags while you are there.

This festival packs in more food and fun than most.  One of the most welcoming, inviting festival atmospheres it is great for the whole family.  Pay homage to the Green Tomato, this Saturday !  It promises to be one heck of a FOOD ADVENTURE !
