Hey Lalagay sent you a PM....

Do I smell Bacon Cup Cakes ???

[Kaptain Karlos]

So other than all of the fine culinary experiments each of you are bringing or preparing upon arrival.
What is available for purchase once one arrives at the TBF?
I plan on camping at Illium and doing most of my own food.
However once I get in town I dont see myself making the trek back just for grub,
so whats availbale and what are some favorites?

 The Freckled Farmer

Freckled Farmer - Illiam is the furthest Planet Bluegrass campsite from the festival grounds.  It is beautiful, quiet, and has a river fed by snow-melt running beside it (excellent for morning plunges).  A free shuttle bus runs hourly most of the day.  Bring a bike.  There is a long paved trail that can be ridden into town and to the festival grounds.  Telluride has two small to medium sized grocery stores.  Telluride has been a festival town for many many years, so the restaurants, bars, and stores know how to do things while festivals are going on.  Both stores are kept well-stocked throughout the festival.  Prices are reasonable, and both have gourmet and organic items.  Telluride is acustomed to catering to the hip, rich, and funky classes.  The town has a plethera of restaurants and bars.  The vendor-food inside the festival is excellent and there are many many choices.  Planet Bluegrass does an excellent job selecting vendors of all types for their festivals.  A favorite spot of mine in town is Baked In Telluride.  It's a bakery that has very tasty doughnuts, pastries, breads, pizza, coffee, etc.  It's a festivarian hang-out and is located right next to one of the grocery stores... and is an easy walk to and from the festival grounds.  You can without a dought wait until you get to Telluride to buy campground food, festival food, beer, wine, and other beverages at pretty reasonable prices.  Be adventurous... wait 'til you get to Telluride to do your shopping...

I think you may be speaking of Clarks?   It is on the right as you enter the Town of Telluride?   I would consider that to be the largest grocery store in T-Ride and then the Village Market next to Baked in Telluride which is walking distance to Town Park (convenient when schlepping bags of ice)

Food?   What food? 

[connielv]

[landshark]

[landshark]

Ohhh Stop already

[Hippie]

And that is how we eat at Camp Run a Muck.

[Debbiefromtucson]

Did you have to show that oyster???? I'm not sure I can wait now.......

[bouzouki]

Ahhhh, food, lets all eat again soon.  It is a dangerous thing to take pictures of food, makes me want to eat.  and then drink.  Camping and food has created the need for larger coolers, better camp stoves, grills, and dutch ovens for the highly skilled.  Charcoal is often required and you have to watch the coals after the food is done.  Lets not start any fires.
