Coastal Eats is serving up the bounty of the sea, and the Seared Scallops with Roasted Corn and Butterbean Succotash and Chili-Chipotle Butter Sauce are pretty fantastic. Pair them with the Erath Pinot Gris at the booth and you'll be in scallop heaven.

Flavors from Fire is another new booth at the Festival this year, and the Smoked Corned Beef with Warm Crispy Potatoes, Pickled Onions, and Blonde Ale Beer Fondue is getting some truly rave reviews. This is sort of reminiscent of potato chip nachos smothered in a smokey corned beef and covered in cheese sauce, with a bit of "pop" from the pickled onions that makes it tops in my book.

For a little something sweet and fruity, head over to the new Almond Orchard booth and order the Banana Almond Soft-serve Sundae with Fresh Berries and Crunchy Chocolate Oats. Sponsored by Blue Diamond Almond Breeze this unique dairy-free soft serve is a thrilling new spin on a cool creamy favorite.
