Outside Lands Festival Announces Food and Drink Line Up!

Outside Lands announces a food and drink lineup of epic proportions for its eleventh edition. As the first music festival to create a true food and drink experience for its attendees, Outside Lands continues to pioneer festival food offerings. With an unmatched passion for celebrating Northern Californian cuisine, wine and beer, Outside Lands will once again offer over 200 menu options, found within seven unique experiences, including A Taste of the Bay Area, Wine Lands, Beer Lands, Cheese Lands, Outside Clams, GastroMagic, and Cocktail Magic. Outside Lands will take place in San Francisco’s historic Golden Gate Park August 10-12, 2018. A limited number of 3-Day tickets are on sale via www.sfoutsidelands.com.

A Taste of the Bay Area

83 Bay Area Restaurants

An 83-part lineup of culinary heavy-hitters, nightly go-tos and insider favorites comprise this year’s A Taste of the Bay Area, curated for a second year by celebrated San Francisco restaurateur Anna Weinberg (Big Night Restaurant Group). From neighborhood gems to restaurants that landed on 2018’s esteemed San Francisco Chronicle “Top 100,” to eateries that were deemed Michelin Bib Gourmand winners, this year’s roster is as much a part of the Outside Lands experience as the festival’s world class music lineup.

Between A Taste of the Bay Area and VIP, there are 16 exciting new additions in total. In A Taste of the Bay Area, look for Hawker Fare, the Mission District’s Lao/Thai Isan hot spot, which will be serving its Khao Soi Spicy Tamarind & Pork Egg Drop Soup, the award-winning Trestle, a San Francisco favorite applauded for its pop-up at Outside Lands’ Forest Feast in 2016, The Bird with its Spicy Fried Chicken Biscuit Sandwiches, Dumpling Time & Live Sushi Bar and their famous Shrimp and Pork Siu Mai Dumplings and Live Sushi Handrolls, Powder and their playful Taiwanese Shaved Snows, Juice Shop, Cassava, Son’s Addition, Firepie and Dinosaurs to name a few.

Returning Outside Lands attendees no doubt have their check list of veteran restaurants to visit, all of which have become part of the rich history of the festival. These might include The Monk’s Kettle, which just celebrated ten years of business in San Francisco and is back for its fourth year at Outside Lands, serving Grilled Bratwursts and Pretzel Knots with Beer Cheese; The Little Chihuahua, which will return for its eighth Outside Lands to serve Short Rib Flautas, Tartine Manufactory and its spectacular baked goods,Itani Ramen, FOB Kitchen, 4505 Meats, FK Frozen Custard, and Pica Pica Arepa Kitchen.

The Outside Lands menu also offers ample opportunity to try both new and familiar flavors, no matter the time of day. There are Porcini Doughnuts with Raclette Cheese from Rich Table, Malaysian Lamb Curry Sandwiches and Peanut Tofu Nachos from Azalina’s, Crab Rolls and Blackened Fish Sandwiches from Fine & Rare and Wood-fired Margherita Pizzas from Del Popolo. Healthy indulgences like farm fresh produce, freshly crackedWhole Coconuts and Watermelon Juice will abound. Although Choco Lands will not return this year, sweet treats are plentiful with menu items like Liquid Chocolate Bars andBourbon Coke Floats.

Within VIP, ticketholders find a host of restaurants owned by talented female chefs and restaurateurs: Petit Marlowe with executive chef Jenn Puccio-Guyer and co-owner Anna Weinberg at the helm, International Smoke from chef Ayesha Curry, and A16, led by executive chef Nicolette Manescalchi and owner/wine director Shelley Lindgren. Global Gourmet will also return to VIP.

Beer Lands

With Dave McLean, founder of San Francisco’s Magnolia Brewing Company and a partner in Admiral Maltings, leading the charge, Beer Lands brings together some of Northern California’s most talked about breweries. This year, a total of 30 breweries will showcase California’s highly respected beer culture. Newcomers Old Kan, Holy Craft, Seismic and Sufferfest will join returning favorites like 21st Amendment, Faction Brewing, Local Brewing Company, Bare Bottle, Calicraft and Fort Point.

Where else but Wine Lands can one find some of the best California winemakers uncorking 120 wines?

Among the 2018 newcomers are the iconic Marin County based French wine importer, Martine’s Wines, Dave Phinney’s massive Orin Swift blends, superlative Napa Valley Cabernet with Andy Erickson’s Favia, Comedian-vintner Eric Wareheim’s Las Jaras pouring its eagerly anticipated Sweet Berry Wine, Forty Ounce Wines from acclaimed wine guru and chef sommelier Patrick Cappiello, downtown Napa tasting collective Outland, rosé specialist Lorenza Wine Co., and emerging Napa star Ashes & Diamonds.
