Details on the Food Bazaar at POPPED! Music Festival, Sept. 23-24

City Paper and Meal Ticket are the official media partners of the 2011 POPPED! Musical Festival, scheduled for Friday, Sept. 23 and Saturday, Sept. 24 at FDR Park in South Philly. While the music lineup for the two-day event is alluring on its own — looking forward to The Shins, Pretty Lights, The Hold Steady, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Rakim, Girl Talk and many more acts — the festival's Food Bazaar, a collection of local food vendors, trucks, carts and full-fledged restaurants that'll be feeding the hungry masses, will be just as a big a draw. Set in a separate area away from the music, the Bazaar will feature both GA and VIP options; we're proud to be lending a hand in curating the lineup, along with Philly Homegrown, The Food Trust, chef Corey Fair of Modern Farm Table and POPPED! organizer Alexis Rosenzweig.

Food Bazaar participants so far include Capogiro, Nomad Pizza, Cookie Confidential, Cantina Dos Segundos, Royal Tavern, Scott Dogs, Hardena, Cucina Zapata and the Vendy Award-winning Gigi and Big R's and Sweet Box, with more on the way. POPPED! will also mark the official debut of ?uest Loves Food, grub-loving Roots drummer Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson's food imprint. Questo's chefs, Clara Park and Elita Bradley (participants both in April's ?uestlove Cook-Off), will unveil a signature buttermilk-fried drumstick (get it? eh eh?), Lancaster County chicken breaded with homemade creole seasoning. There will also be chef demos and presentations in the Food Bazaar, which we'll have more details on soon.

One- and two-day passes for POPPED! are available here but going fast. Cop yours today and we'll see you there, hungry as hell!
