Food costs and availability?

[davidsflying]

I'm just wondering what the general cost of food is and what hours it's available. This is my first Oshkosh and while I'll be camping I'm not much of a camper and would prefer to just buy my food. Just want to figure out a budget for the 5 days I'll be there. I assume like all events prices will be a bit inflated but is there any general guideline for a basic meal at the show? (Doesn't need to be anything fancy). Obviously prices will vary just need a guideline. Also what hours are the show grounds closed (if any), is it practical to leave the grounds for a restaurant in town?

Any advice/info is greatly appreciated thanks.

See this thread, it was buried a few pages back. Should give you what you need and where to go.

For over 15 years, I camped under the wing and ate the food found on the field. Little did I know what I was missing. For the last six years, I have driven with three friends who insist that we eat at these eateries in the evening every year. I will not tell you our schedule because all are busy enough. You should eat at Roxy (Prime Rib) downtown, Vitale's Italian, Fratellos Water Front Restaurant, Wendt's on the Lake(Fish), and Sunset Supper Club on the Lake in Fond du Lac. Remember, this is our little secret.

I brought a whole cooler full of munchies to eat under the wing. There are grocery stores close enough that I am just going to shop there at the deli. You also can eat at the local places just outside of the N 40 gate. There is a bus, if you have your bike even better!
