Favorite Coachella Food Vendors?

[Zafocaine]

The breakfast buffet in the campground was super legit. I had two plates full of food for like 10 bucks

I was planning on going until I heard some people talking about how horrible it was. Makes me hungry just thinking about it

[bmack86]

Yeah water is the only "reasonable" thing, I saw it in the FAQ but, if I got to pay $8 for a single hot dog, I'm just gonna buy a loaf of bread, some PB&J and eat that shit all weekend...lol

That's a very good approach, but the food at the festival is still delicious. For the first five years I went (04-08) I never ate on the festival grounds to save money. It's a great cost-cutting maneuver, but there are so many fantastic options on the field that you'll eventually have to break that approach.

[BROKENDOLL]

The whole idea of standing in a line and then finding a place to sit down and eat, seems absurd to me. Just knowing that there are sets to see, fields to cross, and a bladder to empty, curbs my appetite enough to settle and be fine with either a Pretzel w/salt and a spot of mustard, or a Churro for each hand. If I'm starving at the end of the night I might go for a slice of Spicy Pie, or those Pulled Pork Sandwiches to eat back in the campground.

I remember a few years back, they had Ceviche in the campground that was pretty damn good, but I haven't seen it since. Other than that, it's all about WATER! (Well, that and tequila... -)

Spicy pie was pretty damn good. They had a gouda and spinach a couple years ago that just hit the spot.

Dear Spicy Pie merchants... PLEASE look into this technology.

How do you stay so happy

[wildflowa]

SPICY.PIE.

[Wolfbeckett]

I almost never eat while I'm there. Between the (normal) heat and all the walking around I'm just not hungry during the day, I eat a big meal before going into the fest and then eat after leaving. The only vendors that really get a sizable grip of my money are the Fresher's frozen lemonade stands.

I agree. I used to purposely not buy food while at the festival, but now I eat dinner in there each day.

Like you mentioned, there are a ton of great options that are definitely worth it.

THere was a place selling the most delicious tri-tip sandwiches I've ever eaten. I forget the name, but I hope they are back.

And of course Spicy Pie. Nothing is better at 11pm than a slice of pie.

[JustSteve]

Was it Ruth's Chris?

[geonotgio]

Does anybody know if it's The Hudsons (LA) first time vending at the festival?

They have the best short rib grilled cheese and tomato soup.

The Vegan pizza place in the VIP was awesome

This has beeen our groups battle cry for years:

Person 1 yells "Put it on a stick!"
Group yells "Sell it!"

I bet it was Ruth's Chris. Their tri-tip sandwiches were amazing. Who cares that it's a chain restaurant and not a local mom-n-pop joint. If you don't like Ruth's Chris you're probably racist.

In 09, in the campgrounds, some truck was making ice cream sandwiches with freshly baked cookies......
they were obscenely delicious....
I have looked for them every year and they have never been back....

CRAB FRIES

[PJandBompton]

Spicy Pie is a staple. had Pinks once. had the worst gyro i've ever had.

ate at the breakfast buffet twice, definitely horrible, but for $10, if you're not hungover, you'll appreciate it.

10 bucks for a buffet? Might be my only sustenance for the weekend.

[Basquiat]

100000000% the breakfast buffet

[kvnty]

To this day, that breakfast buffet at the campsite was the worst quality food I have ever had the misfortune of digesting. My buddy still gives me shit about making him to go there instead of the breakfast wrap stand a couple doors down, which by the way was five star Charlie Trotter gourmet in comparison.

And the coffee was undrinkable swill.

[PulpOne]

I've never tried the breakfast buffet, always a long line and crowded. This is the first year we'll be taking a grill and propane. And a french press. Suck it breakfast buffet.

SHUT UP AND EAT.

[scissor]

It's been a few years, but my wife (at the time) ended up in an ambulance and sent to the Indio E.R. after eating a Greek Salad that went bad. When it gets blazing hot, you gotta be careful how the vendors are handling the food. And on top of everything else, we missed Massive Attack.

[kvnty]

there's a guacamole stand in the main food area (near main stage) that makes the perfect guacamole. best food for festival crackheads without appetites.

D, don't do this.
