Coachella's 2014 Food Lineup Boasts Tons of LA Chefs

For the past several years organizers for Coachella, the music festival that takes place in the desert south of LA every April, have been upping on-site food offerings. Last year, they imported New York-based Baohaus chef Eddie Huang, and stationed a Kogi truck inside the VIP area. This year, founder Paul Tollett wanted to create a more food-centric experience. In addition to Coachella's usual offerings (Ruth Chris Steak House; Full of Life Flatbread), attendees will get a sampling of some of LA's best, including home-style Thai at Night+Market; Tex Mex from Bar Ama; tacos from Mexicali Taco Co., and sushi from Sugarfish.

Outstanding in the Field, the roving pop-up dinner party based out of San Francisco, is making an appearance this year in the form of a multi-course communal experience. It starts at $225 per person, but is also available as part of a bundle with tickets to the shows.

There will be a craft beer barn, tapped full of local brews, and downtown LA barman Cedd Moses is bringing artisanal spirits and bartenders from his mezcal bar (Las Perlas) and his rum-centric private club (Caña). Festival goers will even find yurts inside the Terrace area filled with pressed juices from LA's Clover Juice and espresso shots from Portland's Stumptown Roasters.
