Coachella's Food Lineup Drops
Coachella begins in a couple of weeks, and along with options to catch sets from Guns 'n' Roses, LCD Soundsystem, and Taylor Swift's boyfriend, festival attendees may also choose to indulge in some food; after presumably weeks (months?) of fasting on the #coachelladiet, you'll need some nourishment to get you through the long days and even longer nights. Coachella may be in the desert, but it's certainly no food desert!! There are a lot of great options for chowing down in between sets. (Don't be misled by our phony flier; all the vendors will be there on every day of the festival.)Some L.A. standouts that will have stalls at Coachella include Jonathan Gold-approved Guerrilla Tacos,Koreatown's Beer Belly, Roy Choi's Commissary, Thai favorites Pok Pok, and Asian-inspired fare from Echo Park's Button Mash. Blue Bottle and Menotti's Coffee will be pumping attendees full of caffeine, and there will be plenty of options for sweets on hand; Silver Lake's recently-opened Donut Farm has vegan donuts, "gourmet s'mores" from Mallow Mallow, and a couple different spots for ice cream. Eater's got the full list here.
Or you just could stick around town for Localchella and support your local dirty dog purveyors instead.
