Lollapalooza is Here: What Will You Eat and Where?

For many, Lollapalooza signals the height of summer, a massive festival to look forward to from the moment the lineup is announced. And believe it or not, it's upon us, taking place this weekend. More than 130 bands on eight stages will hit Grant Park during the three-day event and whether you're checking out up-and-comers on the BMI Stage or staking out your spot at the main stages for headliners like Coldplay, Eminem and Foo Fighters, you're going to need your strength. And that's where Chow Town comes in.

Earlier this year, the Chow Town lineup was announced and culinary ambassador Graham Elliot pulled together a stellar collection of restaurants like Kuma's Corner, Blue 13, Salud, Smoke Daddy, Bonsoiree, The Gage, Sola, Veerasway, Saigon Sisters, Original Rainbow Cone and, of course, Grahamwich. As you'll notice on the map below, Chow Town (peep what each spot is serving here) is split into two areas: north and south. So you won't get lost and miss out on your favorite grub, refer back to this handy collection of restaurants in each section of Grant Park.

In addition to Chow Town, check out the Farmers Market, where you can find fresh fruit, smoothies, wheat grass shots, noodles, veggies burgers and more from vendors like Seedling Farms, River Valley Kitchens and Tiny Greens Organic Farm. And you can get craft beer at the Lederhosen Biergarten near Chow Town North, or sip some quaffable Estancia wine at the Uncorked tent near Chow Town South.
