Lollapalooza officials unveiled the 34 vendors that will populate “Chow Town”—what the festival calls its food area — in 2017. Due to a last-second lineup change, the number is down one from last year’s 35.
The Lolla lineup doesn’t feature an abundance of metal, but that’s not stopping Chicago’s infamous Kuma’s Corner from serving festival-goers this year at Grant Park. Kuma’s, Chicago’s chain of burger bars that famously blasts metal while serving massive burgers named after rock bands, has reunited with Lolla after a four-year gap.
Music fans clad in ironic basketball jerseys, jean shorts, and flowery headbands will descend on Chicago from Aug. 3 through Aug. 6. This year’s fest is the 26th and features Chicago native Chance the Rapper as a headliner. Maybe Chance will stop by the Harold’s Chicken Shack counter to try some mild sauce; the Chatham native hasn’t been shy about his love for Harold’s. Another notable newcomer is Broken English Taco Pub. The inclusion makes sense as Broken English co-owners, the Stefani family, have extensive Chicago festival catering experience.
Unlike last year when David Chang and Christina Tosi brought Momofuku Milk Bar’s “Crack Pie” to the festival, the 2017 food lineup only features Chicago-area restaurants (save Michigan-based Kilwin’s). Those include Edzo’s Burger Shop, Vietnamese favorite Tank Noodle, and Original Rainbow Cone. Despite being closed since August in University Village due to fire, County BBQ is also a vendor.
