What To Eat And Drink At This Weekend's Arroyo Seco Music Festival

It's been over a year in the making, but this weekend's Arroyo Seco music festival is almost here. And while the music line-up looks pretty stellar (Tom Petty! Alabama Shakes!! Andrew Bird!!!) we thought we'd also give you the breakdown of the food and drink options that will be available (because everything is better with a nice cocktail or ice cream cone in hand).
The two-day festival (held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena) is co-organized by GoldenVoice, the mega-producers behind Coachella, so expect some carry-overs from the Indio event as well as some of the city's heaviest culinary hitters.
According to Time Out, there will be 50-plus vendors at the festival, but no need to be overwhelmed. Here are five picks for can't-miss options.
First, we'll note that we're very excited to see Steve Samson's Sotto here, as his pizzas are a real next-level experience.

We're fans of everything Wexler's Deli serves up, be it deli sandwiches or any other creation.

As well, since it'll be the tail-end of this week's heatwave (i.e. really hot), we're also looking forward to Ridges Churro Bar, which combines churros and ice cream with a host of irresistibly sweet toppings.

The bright flavors of a TikiFish seafood dish is another excellent way to feel refreshed in the mid-day sun.

And the NoMad truck's Humm Dog (named for NoMad's chef Daniel Humm) is one of our favorite (re: most decadent) non-dessert treats around town. The hot dog is wrapped in bacon, topped with black truffle mayonnaise and crunchy celery relish, and served between a golden-brown brioche bun. (Just kill us, now).

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
