BottleRock's most luxurious bites: 7 fancy foods to indulge in at the 2025 festival
A weekend at BottleRock can easily cost as much as a dinner at the French Laundry — or more — but there's plenty of caviar and truffles to go around. Here are the fanciest dishes to seek out at this year's three-day festival in Wine Country. The Godzilla, Sumo Dog ($20) This Japanese-inspired footlong hot dog from the newest vendor at Napa's Oxbow Public Market could easily feed up to four people. Featuring a mix of toppings that will make your head spin — miso beef chili, togarashi cheese sauce, wasabi relish, pickled peppers, spicy mayo, teriyaki sauce, furikake, miso mustard coleslaw, jalapeño and nori — the flavors somehow all work to create a delicious, fulfilling and extremely-Instagrammable meal. New England lobster roll, Mustards Grill ($29, VIP only) This sweet, buttery roll from a Napa Valley institution (and a San Francisco Chronicle Top 100 restaurant) is jam packed with refreshing and delicious Maine lobster, and pickled onions bring a burst of acidity and flavor to every few bites. Be sure to eat some of the meat on its own (there's plenty to go around) to truly bask in all of its glory. Omakase Roll, Omakase ($22) This San Francisco sushi spo t is serving two rolls: A California roll ($18) and Omakase's house special. The latter is a spicy tuna and cucumber roll topped with generous cuts of spicy salmon, tobiko and green onion. It's refreshing yet still filling, and a great gluten-free option. Lobster corn dog with caviar, Under-Study ($32) Arguably BottleRock's most famous dish for three years running, the lobster corn dog topped with caviar from the Michelin-starred team of Napa Valley's Press Restaurant is available to all BottleRock festivalgoers for the first time this year. Look for the giant 'Lobster Caviar Corn Dog' sign at the Under-study booth in general admission and VIP areas. Rolled tacos, Chispa ($23, VIP only) These adorable rolled tacos from Napa tequila bar Chispa are essentially taquitos, but they taste a thousand times better than the frozen ones of your childhood. Served in a cup and dipped in a tasty concoction of jalapeño crema, salsa, pickled cabbage and cotija cheese, these crunchy snacks have a slight kick. And they're perfect for sharing as each order comes with five. Wagyu hot dog, Charlie's ($23) Making its triumphant return, Charlie's Wagyu hotdog served in a pretzel bun and topped with ketchup, mustard and a green tomato relish, is one of the tastiest dishes at the festival. But to enjoy it in true Napa style, you'll want to add caviar for the extra $15. The Napa Valley hot spot's famous caramelized onion dip with caviar and salt and vinegar chips ($20) is also back and you won't want to miss the Chucko Taco ($12), a mini and upgraded play on the discontinued Choco Taco ice cream treat. Honorable mention: Anchovy sundae, Lao Table ($15) This dessert from San Francisco Laotian spot Lao Table should win the award for 'Weirdest dish at BottleRock,' but the fried anchovies topping also qualifies it for the fancy category. Beyond the anchovies, there's a lot going on in this dish, including a brioche roll, rice, coconut ice cream and a brown sugar caramel sauce, which gives the sundae a rich, butter-and-caramel popcorn flavor.

Dating app meetup leads to shooting, arrests in Oregon: Police
Two women have been arrested in connection with a dating app scheme that led to the shooting of a man in Corvallis, Oregon, authorities said. Julia Dell Yepez, 20, and Alexa Montano Corral, 20, were taken into custody following an investigation into the May 17 shooting of a man they allegedly met through the Chispa dating app, according to the Benton County Sheriff's Office. Investigators believe the women used the app to lure the victim with the intention of robbery. The victim, who has not been identified, remains hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Chispa is a dating app where Latino and Latina singles can connect with others in their area. The company did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment. According to investigators, Yepez and Corral are also suspects in similar criminal activity in a nearby county. The incident unfolded around 5:30 a.m. local time on May 17 when emergency dispatchers received a 911 call reporting a shooting near Highway 99W and Lakeside Drive in Corvallis. Witnesses described seeing two Hispanic women, one wearing a long-sleeve black shirt, fleeing the scene on foot. Yepez was arrested Tuesday and faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, first-degree assault and kidnapping. She is being held at the Benton County Jail on $300,000 bail, court records show. Corral, who was arrested Thursday, faces multiple conspiracy charges. Her bail was set at $250,000, according to court records. The case has prompted authorities to issue renewed warnings about dating app safety. "Always meet in public and never isolate yourself until you are certain of the other person's intentions," the sheriff's office advised in a statement. Anyone who may have had contact with either suspect through dating apps is urged to contact the Benton County Sheriff's Office or submit anonymous tips at 541-573-8477. The investigation remains ongoing with assistance from multiple law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Marshals Service.
