Outside Lands has way more than just music to offer.
Outside Landsreturns to San Francisco ’s Golden Gate Park August 11–13 with awful music ( Kendrick Lamar , Foo Fighters , and Odesza are headline , plus over 90 other performers ) , but maybe just as importantly , there will be licitly tasty food for thought and beverages to bask as well . Like , if you deplete a meal before you show up , you ’re doing it completely improper .
As with most festivals these days , there are some high-up - only solid food and swallow situations , but the truth is that those are n’t of necessity reasons to promote ( the privy position , on the other hand , absolutely is ) because , with over 95 food purveyors , plus 35 wine maker , 30 breweries , and eight cocktail bars , it ’ll be a challenge even to experience a little portion . But we have faith in you — particularly if youuse the festival appto note everything you need to eat and drink ahead of clip . Again , there ’s so much to try , but here ’s what we have our eyes on thus far .
FOOD
The food at Outside Lands is some of the dependable you ’ll regain at any music fete , and we have Tanya Koller , who has been leading the fete ’s tasting of the Bay Area since 2017 , to give thanks . Her finish is to showcase everything from nationally renowned restaurants to novel dada - ups , including pretty much every form of cuisine you could imagine for any dietary requirements you may have . Oh , and in case that was n’t awing enough , nearly 90 % of this class ’s food lineup is crafted by minority and/or female - moderate restauranter and chefs , which only make us want to try that many more dishes .
And therein lies the challenge as Outside Lands is welcome the yield of 79 eatery from last year and 17 newcomers . So if you want to maximize your food experience , you should definitely go in with a plan , friends to apportion knockout with , and , of class , some spontaneity so that you adjudicate whatever delectable offerings everyone ’s dish about . Here are just a few on our list .
Bodega SF
When the temps knock off , head to this democratic Vietnamese restaurant ’s booth for bo kho spicy beef lather and spicy wontons .
FOB Kitchen
This crispy pork lumpia and put forward - fry veggie glass noodles from this Filipino hot spot in North Oakland were some of our favorite bites last twelvemonth , and we make love that will be the case again this year .
Horn Barbecue
We ’re super stoked for pitmaster Matt Horn ’s Outside Lands unveiling and crossing our fingers that the line wo n’t be as long as it sometimes is at his Oakland restaurant . But even so , it ’ll be deserving the postponement for brisket chopped cheeses , burnt remainder sandwich , and messy tike .
Kaiyō
It ’s hard to believe that this is Kaiyō ’s first year at Outside Lands because the crispy karaage crybaby sandwiches seem like ideal festival food .

There ’s a mushroom version , also . And we ’ll keep our finger crossed that they ’ll also have the deep brown cow dung cookies , which we are convinced are the best in San Francisco .
