The Killers, The Cure, and Nine Inch Nails headline the 22nd Annual Lollapalooza, coming atcha August 2–4. Soak up the sounds of Kendrick Lamar, Two Door Cinema Club, and that band that sings Ho, Hey! — and stuff your face with delicious foodstuffs. In this Weekly, we discuss some of the finer nibbles you'll gain access to if you’re heading to Grant Park.
The Salsa Truck (Food Truck)
Let's guac out while we rock out. Matt M can “tell the time and effort that goes into preparing” his tacos and calls it “some of the best Mexican food” he’s had in Chicago.
La Boulangerie (Lakeview)
Carbing in the crowds, Stephanie M can choose from crepes, croissants, baguettes, and other loaves baked up by this local French bakery. She begs, “I dare you to say that the bread isn't the best you ever had.”
Smoke Daddy (Ukrainian Village)
If you're feeling saucy walking from stage to stage, 'que up for a plate of pulled meat. Julie A jokes, "If I was on death row, the pulled BBQ chicken sandwich and mac 'n' cheese would be my last meal.” Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
Original Rainbow Cone (Beverly)
Cool off with the "best ice cream cone on the planet."DeeDee L get nostalgic, yelping, "It was a magical place to me when I was little, and one of the rare spots that retains much of its glow half a century later."
Edzo's Burger Shop (Lincoln Park)
For a burger between bands, Sara L sells us on a beef patty, which is “juicy, meaty, cooked perfectly, and moist.” She insists, “the patty itself packs enough flavor that nothing else is really needed,” except, maybe, a Trent Reznor sighting.
