Look At All The Delicious Food You Could Be Eating At Coachella
It’s hard to see and be seen at Coachella (that’s what everyone’s doing there, right?) without sustenance. The combination of the desert sun and a liver filled to the brim with alcohol—and perhaps a sprinkling of designer drugs—can be harsh, but the festival turned it out this year on the gastronomical front to keep us going.
Options ranging from light and refreshing, to heavy and decadent, were available throughout the weekend, with highlights such as chefs Arjun and Nakul Mahedro’s backyard tandoori chicken with sweet radish yogurt kachumber salad, as well as Pig Pen’s mac and cheese burger. As stated, there were enough gourmet cocktails to make your head spin, but in typical Southern California fashion, it was balanced out with heart-healthy elixirs from Juice Served Here.
Week two is coming up, meaning you'll have the opportunity (again) to fill up on these goods. Take note that the "Outstanding In The Field" options will be different, as they're prepared by different chefs each day. See the full list of participating vendors (and check out who's cooking for Outstanding In The Field) here.
Also, scroll through the scrumptious photos at your own risk—LAist is not liable for computers destroyed from drool.

An earlier version of this article did not mention that some items are only available at the VIP Main and VIP Rose Garden areas. Also, we did not mention that the items for Outstanding In The Field are different each day.
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.
