Returning offerings like The General Lewis Inn’s pecan pie, The Greenbrier Sporting Club’s shrimp and grits and Dutch Haus’ filet mignon sandwich will have devoted patrons lined up early. Some new and old favorites included in the 50+ vendors: Stuart’s Smokehouse ribs and brisket, B. Sweet Confectionery’s pancakes and bacon cupcake, Stella’s pumpkin roll with caramel sauce and fresh whipped cream, Fujiyama’s sushi and Stardust Cafe’s lobster soup. Is your mouth watering yet?
