Festival-goers can visit Hot Ones and First We Feast’s Heat & Greet Pop-Up tent, where Buffalo’s own and internet fan favorite, Camera Guy Bill (Bill Drexler), will be serving up spicy selfies and daring tastings of the show’s iconic Last Dab hot sauce from 2–3 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. Camera Guy Bill will also serve as a celebrity food judge, with the special honor of determining which of the Hot Ones-exclusive dishes will come out on top for the inaugural Taste of Buffalo x Hot Ones Award
