Did you miss the octopus balls last time? Here's a handy dandy list of every food vendor at the 2017 Tucson Meet Yourself, which hits downtown Oct. 13 through 15. (More info here.)Â
This year, make sure to hit up new vendors like Patriciaâs Cuban Cuisine, which is making the iconic Ropa Vieja meat dish as well as those addictive polvorones shortbread cookies. Sons of Italy will also make a comeback after a decade with its meatball subs, canolis and more. Lastly, check out the Hungry Kepuha, which started as a food truck and is making its TMY debut this year: It's plate lunch, done Guam-style ...
So without further ado, let's get to eating ourselves!Â
