Outside Lands continues to earn a reputation as a food festival with a helping of music, or so it would seem based on the newly released and once again over-the-top list of restaurants, breweries, and food trucks on the bill this year.
The offerings are a complement to the lineup of acts from Elton John to Kendrick Lamar, performers who are best enjoyed over crème brulée or Tacolicious tacos. Sure, there's carnival fare to be found, from fried pickles to burgers, but this is a bourgeois affair, so per usual a large segment will be getting wine drunk in the Wine Lands tent.
This year's fest, as was true last year, is broken into several sections, reflected in the list below. We've got enough chocolate to field its own section, enough beer for a mini-beer week, and a full spread of wine and cheese.
Also, there's GastroMagic, the food demo-slash-entertainment stage. The lineup for that is here, and includes fun stuff like chefs reading their bad reviews, but it's a little out-of-date as there have been some chef shuffles that it doesn't note.
Anyway, if the only thing you were planning to eat whilst enjoying the music was magic mushrooms or a few tabs, you should read the list and perhaps reconsider.
