By Los Altos Arts and Wine Festival

Are the handmade sausages from Lockeford Sausage Co. a favorite with you? These will be grilled at two locations at the Los Altos Arts & Wine Festival, to be held July 14 and 15.

Or do you favor the Earthly Delights Italian Garlic Chicken Sandwiches and Belgian Fries - a version of the venerable french fries that are served in a rolled paper cone for you to carry around?

Or Moon River Corn Co.’s corn on the cob from roasting machines at two locations at the festival?

Or the authentic B Foods International Philadelphia Cheesesteak Sandwich - paper-thin slices of rib eye steak grilled and flavored with a blend of spices, topped with cheese and a mound of onions, then served on a sourdough roll?

Or Steve Brill, the New Orleans chef’s, jambalaya, crawfish etouffee, gumbo, red beans and rice?

New to the festival repertoire are Lemoine Creperie’s savory and sweet crepes, including fresh strawberry and cream cheese, Hawaiian (ham and pineapple), ham and cheese, Italian (mozzarella, tomato and spices) and Grande Marnier.

The proprietor, Elise Strahan, comes from a family of high-wire aerialists who traveled around Europe performing. Now she and her daughter, Diana, continue the nomadic life, traveling around with their crepes on wheels.

Other great items at the festival include calamari with key lime sauce, barbecued or raw oysters, teriyaki chicken, beef and pork kebabs.

For a little snack, you can pick up watermelon from Boy Scout Troop No. 35 or a root beer float from the Los Altos Sister Cities booth, where proceeds support their non-profit groups.

Or a bag of fresh popcorn cooked in copper kettles and then glazed with a thin caramel coating.

On a warm day in July, you will appreciate the variety of cool treats available. Look for Barrett’s fresh squeezed lemonade, three Fruit Friz smoothie booths, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream carts, and booths selling frozen lemonade, frozen yogurt and ice cream sundaes.

With over 35 carefully chosen food and beverage vendors from the Bay Area, you will have some tough choices to make.

“We get the premier professional food vendors for the Los Altos Arts & Wine Festival,” said Richard Pedemonte of Pedemonte & Co., specialists in coordinating food and beverage services for major events around the Bay Area.

“From the many applications we receive, we select the most interesting and unusual foods. Our goal is to put together a dynamic mix of the local Los Altos restaurants and the Bay Area’s best professional food vendors.”

If these offerings aren’t quite what you crave, or if you want to take a break from the festival, there are a variety of fine downtown restaurants to choose from.
