Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
I would honestly just focus on the drinks (water, gatorade, alcohol, etc), and some stuff to make sandwiches. I always pack a ton of food thinking Im gonna be Bobby Flay at Bonnaroo, but either Im never at the campsite or just too lazy to make anything more than a sandwich.
I get too lazy to even make a sandwich. Uncrustables for the win.

poptarts for breakfast, some chips for snacks, and then i eat dinner inside centeroo. Last year it was so humid, I couldn't eat much at all. There's NO way I am making food at my campsite. I don't cook period, let alone AT roo.
I always feel better when I eat a good meal and find it gives me more energy than just snacking. That being said I only pack a couple meals and just eat the same thing over and over. This year I'm going with tacos and turkey burgers and then some bacon or scrapple to make my neighbors jealous in the AM. The tacos I'll just make an extra batch and eat that first. The burgers I'll make a bunch of pattys and freeze them.

So last year After asking all of this, we spent the evening before we left chopping, peeling, vacuum sealing. We made enough food for 4 people to eat twice a day, full meals. We had marinated meats, and foil wrapped veggies to grill. We set the freezer to its coldest setting and froze almost everything. I also froze a pack of water bottles. The water bottles were split between the two coolers, the frozen food then filled the first cooler about halfway, vacuum sealing, not having excess food, really cuts down the space taken up. Cooler one was then layered with cubed ice, then beer, and finally ice. Cooler 2 had frozen water bottles layered with cubed ice, then beer, then ice, then beer, and so on, then finally ice. I kept the coolers in the shade of the ezup with a wall on it, we still had frozen water bottles, when we got back to Dayton, Ohio. We did have to decide on which acts to go back to camp and fire up the grill
We did have to decide on which acts to go back to camp and fire up the grill. thawing out the food took about no time at all( who would have guessed in that solar oven we had the cook area in. I actually preferred this because it gave me a break from the crowds, I got a quick shower rinse( we had a camp shower), I had a couple of drinks, ate, then headed back for the next set I wanted to see.
Also having a perculator and a big tub of foldgers made me a lot of friends in the mornings when we couldn't stand to sleep in the tent anymore. The shower helped too, we had 32 gallaons of water on hand for washing and cooking. People even refilled the jugs after they used the shower.
We cooked breakfast and had sandwiches, snacks and lighter items for lunch (my watermelon was gold last year), then ate dinner in centeroo. I am planning on doing the same this year again.

we usually cook breakfast at least once, typically saturday. fresh ingredients are better, but we at minimum grab a couple of those jimmy dean breakfast skillets and scramble some eggs up to mix in with it. it's a good pick me up to smell it cooking and get some solid food in your belly after a night of partying.
we also like to make a layered bean/guac/sour cream/cheese/tomato dip. i typically split it up into a couple small containers so we only have the serving we're eating out of the cooler.
on poorer years we've made hot dogs, wrapped them in foil, and slipped a couple per person in our camelbaks. cheap and easy.
last year, though, i discovered that greek joint by That Tent, and that food and the amish donuts may really be all i need in my life.

Oh those delicious crap claws! ========= vamp,
V-8 has too much sodium though we do need our salts on hot days. If you like that, and talking about OG V-8 more than the splash drinks, it's pretty easy to make your own that tastes a lot better - if you have a juicer. Got some beet-apple-ginger-cucumber-carrot-blueberry-celery juice waiting at home for later. No salt added or necessary.

in all honesty i'm a hotel guy so my advice is meaningless to most, but before i drive in i have a big ass waffle house meal and i'm usually good until i get back to the hotel late and have another big ass waffle house meal. at bonnaroo i like to get an ice cream cone.

It always depends for me. We have people who cook back at camp, and all of them can cook. So we usually have stuff to munch on there. Last year I didn't eat all that much at the festival. I got some Hattie B's a couple times and went to brunch, but I think the amount of water I was guzzling (1 beer to 1 water sometimes 1 to 2) curbed my appetite. Hopefully they will bring back hammaggedon this year and have more food options since it's going to be a much bigger event than 2022 was.

Postie, I can't tell if you are trying to shit your pants or not shit your pants here.
I have always cooked breakfast burritos and breakfast sammies on my campstove for my camp plus neighbors, outside in the sun, like a goddamn pioneer woman. And I precook around 3 meals that I heat up quickly for later meals. Things like roast for Italian beef sandwiches, and even shrimp and grits. Will probably just do bagels and lox type of thing this year, with a toaster, since we have the RV. Grilled cheese of course, and maybe one precooked meal like tacos and some corn on the cob. Maybe easy cook oatmeal packages and cereal. The rest will be likely be cold foods like fruit, cheese and nut plates and sammies or buy there. If you have the means, cereal with milk always goes really fast too. Orange juice has always gone really quickly too.
One thing we always bring but never get eaten: Nature Valley Granola bars. I love them, but it is always too hot and mouth too dry to try to scarf one down.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

My number one piece of advice is bring stuff that's good cold (salads, sandwiches, bagels, yogurt, fruit) or pre-cooked stuff that you only need to heat up on the camp stove, so like soup, chili, or pre-cooked taco meat or something. Actually cooking food from a raw state with a camp stove takes a tedious amount of time. Maybe people have higher-powered stoves than I do though.
Eggs and bacon cook quickly enough they're probably not much of an issue. But I cooked chicken once and wished I had just done it ahead of time.

I have a fancy 2-burner stove that we bring. We cooked up all sorts of goodness last year (and every year). I like to bring eggs, bacon, sandwich makings, fruit to eat. I brew coffee every morning and thejeremy usually cooks. There was way more food than just that brought since we did groop, we had multiple stovetops too.

formally putting in a request for a veg brekky burrito one day from my doll <3
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
Costco has smoked salmon and steak bites that I like to bring. Pedialyte and V8 is a must have for me
i like do a veg/potato/beans or tofu stir fry around brunch time and then heavy snacks for lunch: peanut butter with apples; hummus and carrots/crackers; guac and salsa and chips; etc.

ooo breakfeast burritos would be a great idea! Easy to precook and freeze also!
This is the way. I usually just buy food at the grounds and have nonperishable items at camp like apple sauce pouches, granola mix, pb+j, protein shakes are also a good snack meal. This year I'm arriving Tuesday so I'm going to need something to carry me and my wallet through. Different style burritos are the only real cooked food I plan on freezing and then heating this year. The versatility is off the charts!

i agree it's best to find foods you don't have to refrigerate or that are good at room temperature. never tried this but i'm planning on picking up a few big nigiri/sashimi platters that i can just keep in the backseat of the car. healthy but with plenty of nutrition.

You've got me thinking: it might be fun to plan an all-burrito menu. bacon & egg breakfast burritos (obviously), traditional ground beef and bean burritos, steak burritos, fish taco burritos, etc. I'm sure you can make a burrito out of anything but what else sounds good? Might pre-cook some and cook some on site.
My steak fajitas were a winner last year. Easy, too, since it basically just meant dumping precut and seasoned veggies and steak into a cast iron skillet. Not sure how many our group will consist of yet but they'll be wanting to eat at camp rather spending a ton on vendor meals, for sure. I wouldn't cook if it were just me but minimal cooking is okay, and I'll surely end up doing most of it, so I actually want to plan and prep ahead.

If ur not a great cook, just got the idea to freeze stuff like the Taco Bell Breakfast crunch wrap and bring to roo. Maybe even enjoy some taco bell while watching the official Taco Bell commercial band Portugal. the Mid.

We are doing a bunch of different kinds of burritos this year as well for breakfast/early lunch at camp! I love hitting food vendors too but prices were pretty high last year, which I did expect, but the breakfast options were pretty mid and I'd rather just cook something better at camp and spend less money.
