Music may fill the souls of the thousands expected downtown for this weekend music festival, but there will also be plenty of choices to fill the belly, too!  With 3 stages over  5 city blocks, there’s no doubt you’ll be tempted by the sights and smells of cuisine from all over the world.  We hear there will be over 20 food vendors  on hand and we’ve got a sneak peak of the menu’s for you:

 

First the Food Trucks:

Caribbancanas – Caribbean and American foods
Fressa– their famous grilled cheese, Tahi PB & P, corn on the cob and gzapacho

Burrito Bus – a variety of burrito’s

Local Eateries:

Jim Teal from Smokin' knows how to smoke some meat!

Frickers– chicken wings and sandwiches
Taquiria Mixteca – authentic Mexican cuisine
Smokin’ BBQ – pulled pork, brisket, chicken, burgers and hot dogs

A special shout out to Scratch Event Catering who will be  feeding the hungry bands of Dayton Revival with some of the best local/sustainable products that the county has to offer.  So thanks be to the forward thinking committee of Downtown Dayton Revival for support Local/Sustainable  and special thanks be to Patchwork Gardens, Flying Mouse Farms, Keener Farms and Cook’s Garden for providing the local bounty that will certainly enhance the quality, taste and nutrition of our humble eats. What do superstars like John Legend, Train, Guster, Rusted Root eat you ask ? In short, they eat pretty well – some of the menu items include Apple Cornbread Stuffed Chicken Breast with a Bourbon Orange Cream Sauce, Cinnamon Dulce Carrots, Ratatouille, Green Papaya Thai Salad, Cous Cous with Lemongrass and Sweet Potatoes, Local Egg Omelets with Mexican Cotija Cheese, Fresh Salsa, Local Sausage, Berry Cobbler, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Bread Pudding, Braised Kale, Roasted Local Tomato Bisque, and so on.
