Is there a website with how to make these? I would love to be able to make arepas at home! I did this after Roo '06...some guy was selling really awesome yummy pizza grilled cheeses (pesto butter, mozzarella, and marinara) and I LOVED them...so when we got home I figured out how to make them myself and now I do it all the time! I'd love to be able to have a little bit of Bonnaroo in my house when I make arepas
I have made slapshod arepas by mixing leftover polenta (which in itself is super easy to make and good leftover for breakfast) with mozz cheese and occasionally some salsa or chopped jalepenos. make into patties and cook up in the frying pan.
We ate a lot of arepas at Bonnaroo because they were so cheap and 2 of us were vegetarians. Once it was bland - probably on the warming grill too long. I usually dressed them up with hot sauce.
Heat a sauté pan on medium heat. Add vegetable oil, onions and garlic and cook until caramelized. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 10 minutes while stirring with a wooden spoon. When the chicken is done, remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool in the refrigerator. Once the chicken has cooled, mix it with homemade mayonnaise, Tabasco sauce and salt and pepper.
In another bowl, mash avocado and cilantro with a fork, and season mixture with salt and pepper.

^^^^ I never found the garlic grilled cheese - or rather, I only thought about them when I was nowhere near there. This year - definitely
i never even knew about the grilled cheese until after roo.
i kept seeing the arepas everywhere but they didn't seem interesting enough to try. i also have really a screwed up ears/nose/throat system and usually can't taste anything. so i generally only eat things that are super spicy/herby, and the arepas seem like they'd be really bland. but maybe i'll try one this year anyway.
i'm also lactose intolerant but for some reason cheese doesn't apply.

Well, if you never have an arepa, you'll be just fine. But if you're near a cart and for whatever reason don't want to go any further to find food - or just want to check it out - there's hot sauce there you can add to spice things up. And one thing that I really liked was the texture.
Wow. I never saw these. I will definately have to go in search this June. I think it will go well with my Jalopena Corndog addiction from last year. Yummmmm

I discovered arepa at bonnaroo 03 and have been hooked since. Although, the corn dogs sold at a food stand near the ferris wheel are pretty awesome too.
the first time I ever had a corndog was at bonnaroo last year lol! I can't say they were my favorite, but I'd be willing to give the jalapeno ones a try, sounds yummy!
are there jalapeno's in the breaded part? or how does that work?
They're mixed in the breading and they kick regular corndogs ass! I only found one place that had them last year. Everyone else just had regular ones.

It's kind of a running joke with my friends, my love of the corn dog. I don't really eat meat so when they comment on the corn dog love, I just remind 'em that they aren't really meat. Right?

i want to know where the Pizza Grilled Cheese was! That sounds yummy too and easier to make at home than the arepa...I'm not a cooker where do you find pesto butter?
"If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has the power to move you, if the simple things in nature have a message you understand, Rejoice, for your soul is alive."
You can buy spreadable butter (Land O Lakes) and a jar of pesto and mix them together. Alternatively, soften a stick of butter, combine it with the pesto, then use wax paper to shape it in to a roll. Refrigerate until ready to use.

FYI peeps, the arepas at Bonnaroo more resemble a yellow extra-large potato pancake than the puffy biscuits seen on many of these pics and sites. Still they are fabu hangover/drunk/munchie food!

I know that there has been a vendor off to the right of What the last couple of years . . .

i had the jalapeño corn dogs. they weren't bad, but i think they'd be way better if they were jalapeño cheese corn dogs. because everything is better with cheese. ;D

Arepas are the food of the gods!
A couple of Roos ago we stood in a long line for our arepa fix. When I finally got mine I took about two steps and it flew off my paper plate onto the grass and about a dozen people in line all chanted "Five second rule, five second rule!" Picked that sucker up and took a big, burnin' hot bite to a round of applause and laughter and I'll bet if I hadn't one of them probably would have...
