It's a bit out of the way and it's a countrywide chain so not something to be excited about for most of you but I'm a big fan of the black bean soup in a sourdough bread bowl from Panera. So much so I walked for fucking miles last year just to get one for lunch before Fest started! Perfect! This year, when you start craving Panera, find me. I'll drive us to that plaza so you can get your black bean soup on and I can devour some Moe's! rockthefuckon! Deal! I may well give this Moe's place a go too or at least get some take out while I'm there. Looks like FoodFest 7 is taking shape nicely! Edit: Just re-reading this thread has actually made me so hungry I'm gonna stop what I'm doing and start work on a mixed bean chilli! Sounds great. If time permits, I'll go more than once over the weekend. i can't get enough Moe's! haha. Maaaann.... make me some mixed bean chilli. it's not even close to lunch time yet here and I'm FAMISHED!

As I'm going to be in Gainesville for a week before the Fest, any guided tours of good places to eat from locals would be amazing:)

yeah the top is pretty awesome, well the food is great, the bartenders usually blow. and the place is usually filled with douchebags.
but if you're from out of town, def check that place out, as the food has always been 10/10.

awesome dude
check out la chua trail during the day to see a bunch of gators..preferrably a sunny day in the afternoon. if you like bbq, check out adams rib co...they have all you can eat pulled pork - it is awesome. otherwise try to check out some of the southern/soul food places here. you know, get a taste of the south! you gonna be able to get to orlando or tampa? there are some awesome beaches in the tampa area...and by jacksonville - amelia island, st augustine.
