The Ride Around the Bear also has made-on-site veggie soup at the top of Onyx Summit (8,443 FT.), and that's very good, but I'd also like to nominate the Knoxville Double (out of Vacaville, CA) put on by the Quackcyclists as having the consistantly best food.
I don't eat hot-dogs except at Checkpoint #5 on the Knoxville double (BBQ'd and very good!), plus they always have chili at Checkpoint #6. Helps to warm you up if you're there after dark! The Quacks also have salted baked potato at all the Checkpoints, which are very tasty and an excellent source of carbs, but rarely seen on other rides.
Agreed that San Luis Obispo Cycling Club does a truely excellent job with the food on both the Wildflower and the Lighthouse.
