Musikfest’s Best Food Bets

Musikfest may be about Musik? Muzak? Music. However, believe it or not, a lot of people don’t even go to one show, opting to focus on the food or the vendors or, uck, the teenagers who pass out enough Toothpaste to stock your medicine cabinet for the rest of the year.

Here’s a rundown of some of the better food vendors, who may go there and what to expect.

I’m absolutely fucking positive I’m going to miss some, so don’t yell at me, just add them in the comments section.

Parcheezey!

 Take-a-Taco:One of the Musikfest (and other local festival) mainstays. There isn’t much to say other than if you want a delicous, meaty taco then this is the place you go, period. Beware of imitators. Look for college students, high school kids, me.

 Hogar Crea Shish Ka Bobs: A friend and I were leaving Musikfest last year pretty late one night and for some strange reason Hogar Crea had a few Shish Ka Bobs left = free Shish Ka Bobs. Now, I would probably have given them to some homeless people, but I was drunk and hungry, so, that was that. Easily one of the more spicy foods, but it comes complete with a sharp stick that you can protect yourself with on the walk home. Be on the lookout for those interested in meat on sticks. Also, speaking spanish fluently will probably get your order faster.

AwShucks Corn on the Cob: Friend’s quote, “I’m pretty sure AwShucks is the only reason Musikfest exists.” For some reason, I couldn’t find an AwShucks Corn logo, whatever. PROBABLY the singly MOST purchased food item during Musikfest. Obviously, the only evidence I have of this are the sheer amount of people eating these while they walk, slathered in butter and, oh my god, spices. (Food orgasm!) If you don’t get one of these, or get one for a loved one, you pretty much shouldn’t go to Musikfest at all. Look for pretty much everyone, except kids with braces.

 Kutztown Soda Works: Suggested by a friend. If you’re looking for some drinks outside of the sponsorship partner Coca-Cashola, then give this place a try. Gingerbeer? Check. Kutztown Sarsaparilla Soda was told to me to be “The best fucking soda in the world.” Look for trendy assholes and people who don’t mind spending more for a different taste.

Other ones that I forget the names of because, well, I kinda don’t really care what the place is fucking called, I just wanna eat their meat include:

1. Whatever place near the entrance by the OBT that sells the Gryos and has big hunks of meat under the tent.
2. The one place by the field where they throw Cabers during Musikfest that sells Hot Sausage.
3. Heaven on a Bun is always good, but I just don’t think it’s AS good as some people do, so…whatevers

Yeah, hmm. That’s about it. Of course there are more… soooo go ahead and tell me what I missed.
