Good food and drinks are all-important ingredients to a successful festival.

The Baton Rouge Blues Fest is no exception, as listening to all that music (and doing some dancing) will send one drifting over to the rows of food vendors.

This year, there are 26 such booths or trucks from which to choose, including Mexican, Italian, Cajun and soul food fare. Quench your thirst with a beer, a sno-ball, a soft drink or a lemonade that promises to be "lipsmack'n."
