FYF Fest is returning for it's 14th year next weekend with some heavy-hitting acts (Frank Ocean, Nine Inch Nails, Bjork, Missy Elliott). But the three-day fest at Exposition Park will also include some big names off the stage, too. As our friends over at Eater released today, the FYF food line-up is looking to be pretty delicious:
- Kogi — Roy Choi's seminal food truck continues to be a festival crowd pleaser with its Korean-fusion tacos.
- Locol
- Meatzilla — the downtown "Meatzza" (pizza on a burger) slinger will be sure to satisfy your heartiness culinary needs.
- Hanjip
- The Yeastie Boys — Who doesn't love a good pun along with some of the best bagels in the city?
- Pizzanista!
- The Halal Guys — After a long weekend of partying, settle down with some chicken and red sauce.
- My 2 Cents
- Dune — The Atwater shop recently expanded its Middle Eastern fare to a second location in downtown L.A.
- Phorage
- Ramen Hood — The vegan ramen slinger will be filling the stomachs of the meat-averse.
- Sage
- Sunny Blue — Be sure to check out Sunny Blue's omusubi (stuffed Japanese rice balls).
- Sumo Dog
- Tikifish — Tikifish was serving up their seafood dishes at last month's Arroyo Seco music festival.
- Delmy’s Pupusas
- Little Damage — Downtown's goth ice cream titan will be cooling you off from the weekend's sun.
- Van Leeuwen
- Fat Dragon — The Dragon's modern Chinese take-out may pair well with Little Dragon's modern Swedish electro-pop.
FYF Fest runs July 21, 22, and 23. Single-Day passes for Saturday (7/22) are sold out, however, you can purchase remaining single- and multi-day passes here. And check out the weekend's full music line-up below.

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.
