08.13.05 HELLFEAST2K5.
Fighting your way through a crowd of 8100 fans, bringing the mosh for 188 bands and spending your dollars on rare releases and t-shirts can bring you to the point of exhaustion. Hellfest figured you deserve a bit more than nachos topped with cheese from a can and giant pickles. Were thinking fajita grilled veggies, creamy pastas, yummy Asian dishes, fresh sushi rolls, filling rice bowls, fresh fruit and fresh fruit smoothies. We know how our scene kids dig their vegetarianism, so dont worry. We know know just how to cater to the herbivores as well as the carnivores. Hellfest has invited Bowlborygmous and Sushi Blues to bring their culinary expertise to the hardcore scene. Heres a taster:

BOWLBORYGMOUS
Bowlborygmous, LLC is a mobile vending and specialty catering outfit run by David Liepman. David is committed to serving Fusion Fast Fooda unique style of global cuisine formulated and fortified with the freshest and highest quality ingredients. Bowlborygmous has formulated a menu that is prepared and served fresh, providing each customer a super-fresh, super-fast, super-hearty, super-healthy, 100% homemade-to-order meal. All of Bowlborygmous, LLC menu items are vegan/vegetarian-yet easily modifiable with choice of meat and cheese additions to delight those of carnivorous inclinations.

SUSHI BLUES
Sushi Blues is run by veteran sushi connoisseurs, Arthur and Candi Ramer, in Hamilton, NY. With eight years of some tantalizing sushi and other signature Asian dishes under their belt, why not venture out into a huge market of vegetarians and vegans. Vegetarian sushi, vegetarian rice bowls and keep your fingers crossed for some mouth-watering California Rolls, what better dish could you possible want to re-charge with from the long hours on the dance floor.

So, by now your mouths are watering and your tummies are rumbling. So, be sure and stop by the Hellfeast tent for the best festival food your mouth has ever encountered. Your taste-buds will thank you.
