Food booths will offer a variety of taste tempting treats. Many visitors returning to the Rendezvous come simply to enjoy the foods. Food cooked over an open fire adds to the flavor and aroma of this 18th century gathering. A sampling of items available are listed below with corresponding map with Booth Letters..
