Fool’s Foodies: Where to Eat at Fool’s Paradise

If you’re heading to St. Augustine this weekend for Fool’s Paradise and aren’t familiar with all the great restaurants around the venue, take a look at these suggestions we put together. Several food trucks will be on site at the Ampitheater, and a quick cruise down A1A will take you to lots of yummy food spots, many with patio seating so you get the full beach experience. A short drive into historic downtown St. Augustine offers an endless selection of eateries, however, we chose our suggestions based on close proximity to keep you on time with the Fool’s Paradise schedule. Late night grub is a must after getting funky with Griz, Lettuce and Vulfpeck, so we included a few after hours dining spots as well.

ON SITE FOOD VENDORS

The Muncher (New Orleans Style), SPORKS (delicious grub), Pele’s Pizza brick oven digs), Vegan Hotdog cart, Wingin It, Ticos Tacos (Chef style tacos, burritos, nachos), Kenyan coffee and pastries, Big Island Bowl (Acai bowls), and Hyppo (Local Organic frozen popsicles)
