We're familiar with the restaurants featured in this year's LouFest concession stand, a.k.a. the Nosh Pit. But out-of-town bands are just looking for a quick bite, and they still loved what St. Louis had to offer. Restaurants like Pappy's, Strange Donuts and Sugarfire Smokehouse had brushes with fame this weekend, both at the music festival and around town.

A stop at Pappy's threatened San Fermin's performance. Trust us, guys, we've been there. They visited Mississippi Mud Coffee Roasters, too.
Just ate at @PappySmokehouse in St. Louis and I'm not sure we're gonna make it out of bed for @loufest tomorrow #brisketfordays
