There'll be plenty for both foodies and music lovers to enjoy at the
Great American Food and Music Fest, a one-day event running from noon to 10 p.m. on June 13 at the Shoreline Ampitheatre in Mountain View.
Food booths offering quintessential American delights have been curated by
Serious Eats founder
Ed Levine, who told us "This has been a fantasy of mine which I first proposed doing in 1993, and am now achieving at long last! I always imagined what kinds of foods I wanted to eat -- when I was in college in Grinnell, Iowa, I would fantasize about Barney Greengrass. Or what I wouldn't give for a real pastrami sandwich from Katz's on the Lower East Side. This is a fantasy list from years of deprivation!"
The dream team assemblage includes
Katz's Deli (NY),
Pink's Hot Dogs (LA),
Barney Greengrass (NY),
Graeter's Ice Cream (Cincinnati),
Southside Market & Barbecue (Texas),
Anchor Bar (Buffalo, NY, creator of Buffalo wings),
Junior's (Brooklyn, home of the famed cheesecake),
Zingerman's Deli (Ann Arbor, Michigan),
Tony Luke's Cheesesteaks (Philadelphia), and Thomas Keller's
Bouchon (Yountville). The booths will be offering plates of their specialties for $5 each (the first plate comes free with the
price of admission to the Fest).
"We won't be doing a WHOLE Katz's pastrami sandwich, " Levine says. "That would finish someone off for the entire day."
