ollie Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Post your vendor experiences here!Had a smoked meat sandwich w/fries from Fitz Catering. The smoked meat was very passable for Ottawa and the fries were hand cut and delicious. Good deal for $8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 The "B Goods" van (which is usually at jazz fest, and makes those chocolate/chili cookies) is at the Subway stage. There's also a BBQ place there.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hintonburger was a dissappointment today....Stephie's burger was charred, Rosie's falafel was overfried and greasy, my Beau's burger lacked something.Eating at the fest tonight....A staple for me every year is the fish and chips...may hit that up, and I've always gotta have chicken divine for the memories of past.Definately no chicken poutine!

I've been eating there weekly with workmates and everything is always top of the pops!I used to get the armstrong burger, but moved to the hintonburger. The bbq sauce gets put on during grilling and you get that lovely char (that dinghy is complaining about). I would love to get this at Bluesfest.

rubberdinghy Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Found the gold!Fitz's jerk chicken sammy! Very mild with tons of jerk flavour flav!Next is their meatball sammy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Prime Rib sandwich from Baton Rouge gets a thumbs down. It's a pretty tasteless roast beef sammy for $12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Had the fish and chips and samosa, both from that area beside the main stages. Both were a lot of food for the money. That one bite I had of jerk chicken from Fitz was awesome! Definitely gonna get a full-on one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I can vouch for the meatball sub at Fitz's as well. Looks like they've switched to frozen fries though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) oooo...that was going to be my "My Morning Jacket Dinner"Don't know if looking forward more to the meatballs, or the jacket... Edited July 12, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I still haven't eaten anything at bluesfest. This jerk sandwich sounds very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 The new layout of the blues festival grounds has prevented me from patronizing the food vendors on more than a few occasions. The food area is smack-dab in the middle of the area where most people enter the festival, causing a clusterfuck of a human traffic jam when the people trying to get a snack meet the arriving throng head on. I really hope they re-think the placement of the entrances and the vendors for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Friday's (@ the Subway stage) makes a good burger and a passable poutine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Ditto re: Friday's...I'd have to say passable burger too though.Fadi's is still a good poutine.Rocked my meatballs off last night...Was walking away from the stand and I hear the woman screaming "WAIT WAIT!!!!" I turned around to see what's up..."i forgot to put the cheese on"ANYWAYS...I'll give the meatball sub a good, but not a kickass like I did for the jerk chicken.The meatball sammy was definately more filling though.I swear I've put on 70 lbs since Canada Day.

bouche Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I didn't eat one damn thing from bluesfest. On nights when I expected to eat, by the time I realized it was eaty time, the lineups were long and I had no patience. I would just wait until I got home for either left-overs or a peanut butter sandwich.I heard great things about the jerk chicken sandwich and the poutine looked true to form. I don't understand why there isn't a vietnamese sub stand setup. Co-Cham would make a killing with there $2.25 subs. They could bump them to $4 and they'd still sell like hot bread.Same goes for dirienzo's with a different pricing scheme of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
