The number of ways to experience the food at Jazz Fest can be overwhelming, but some of the options can actually take you farther than others. For instance, in years past, I would have headed straight for a meat-pie line. This year, it’s all about that Doh Doh and Jama Jama from the Benacchin stand.

Allen Toussaint
The words seem strange as I type them, but Sunday you could really catch some of the best this festival has to offer without moving from the Acura stage.
