A "festival within a festival" is coming to downtown Boston this month, and its focus will be on food.

According to the Outside the Box site, the Fork Lift Food Fest will take place at City Hall Plaza from Thursday, July 18 through Sunday, July 21 at the Outside the Box music and performing arts festival, with a number of area restaurants and chefs participating. The Boston Globe states that the food fest will include tastings, a beer and wine emporium, chef demos, and book signings, with food tasting tickets being sold in sets of five for $1 each. (The food samplings will range from one to five tickets per dish.) A few of the chefs who will be there include Jody Adams (Rialto, Trade), Andy Husbands (Tremont 647), Kevin Long (Empire), Jeremy Sewall (Island Creek Oyster Bar), and Lydia Shire (Scampo, Towne). Hours for the Fork Lift Food Fest are 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM Thursday through Saturday and 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Sunday.
