Super VIP ticket holders at this year's Music Midtown festival will have a lot more to chew on than the lineup of acts to see. They'll have access to a bodacious buffet prepared by the Zac Brown Band's executive chef, Rusty Hamlin.

The chef, who has traveled with the band for a decade, has long delighted concertgoers with creative Southern dishes he has prepared for "Eat & Greets." At these events, more than 100 fans at a time have had the opportunity to sit down with the band members over family-style meals cooked up in a state-of-the-art mobile trailer kitchen they've dubbed "Cookie."

Though subject to change slightly, the menu for Music Midtown has been released:

Friday

Snacks: 3-5 p.m.

Dinner: 5-8 p.m. – L.A. Cajun Night (we assume "L.A." refers to Lower Alabama)

Saturday

Lunch: 11 a.m.-3 p.m. – Southern Ground Mexican La Mesa del Sur

Afternoon Snacks: 3-5 p.m.

Dinner: 5-8 p.m. – Southern Rock BBQ

Late Night: 8-11 p.m.

Oh, yeah. Super VIP tickets to the 2-day event cost a cool $1000.
