The Distillery District’s Country Fest is turning into a genuine food event in its own right, not just a backdrop for live music. This year’s lineup leans hard into hearty, crowd-pleasing fare built to match the festival’s rootsy energy.
On the menu: fried chicken done right, a rich crawfish gumbo, tomahawk steaks big enough to share, and whisky-barrel-aged sake for anyone looking to drink a little outside the expected country-fest lineup of beer and whisky. The mix of Southern comfort food and unexpected drink pairings gives the festival a genuinely distinct food identity, separate from the usual festival-circuit food truck fare.
