Taste Caravan

A moving feast of regional flavor. Taste Caravan transforms Bestor Plaza into a rotating showcase of the area's most exciting restaurants and food trucks, offering guests the opportunity to sample 15-20 different regional establishments each week through thoughtfully prepared small bites. Food trucks will be available: Monday-Friday, 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. (Lunch) Tuesday & Friday, 4:30-8:00 p.m. (Dinner) Vendors rotate throughout the week, and all offer small bites so guests are encouraged to return often so they can explore the wide range of cuisines, cooking styles, flavors and culinary voices--all in one vibrant, walkable destination located just outside the Amphitheater in Bestor Plaza. During each Taste Caravan lunch service, guests can enjoy a live culinary demonstration or discussion in the plaza, creating an immersive experience where learning, conversation, and flavor come together. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or lingering to sample multiple offerings, Taste Caravan invites you to taste broadly, learn deeply, and celebrate the diversity of our regional food community. Food/Drink Tickets: All food vendors only accept Food Festival tickets for payment. The Athenaeum Hotel Beverage Tent & Lounge will accept tickets, cash or card. Tickets can be purchased from one of the two information and ticket tents located within steps of the food vendors. 5 Pack of Tickets: $10 Food Vendor's Venus Greek and Mediterranean Cheesy Chick Best of Buffalo by Byron Arly and Izzy's U Take the Cake Kosher Tent Mystic Smoke BBQ Cups and Cones
