The list of food vendors for Tucson Meet Yourself is now online, so before the chaos hits downtown and you're trying to figure out what to eat for the six meals you'll end up eating at the festival during a four hour period, make some notes. Plan ahead.
Pro tip: one of the Laotian places was a real revelation for me last year. Super cheap and crazy delicious.
