An Exclusive First-Look At Coachella’s 2023 Food Lineup

Coachella is a music festival. We all know that. But on the low? It’s also secretly one of the best food festivals in the country. And while there are plenty of reasons to be psyched over this year’s musical lineup (Bad Bunny, Rosalía, Frank Ocean, Björk, and BLACKPINK in a single weekend? Sold!) the food lineup is equally hype-worthy with Michelin-starred and award-winning restaurants and innovative chefs making an appearance across the festival grounds.

This year, Coachella-goers can enjoy elevated eats from lauded chefs like Max Boonthanakit and Lijo George of Camphor fame, who are bringing a full-service pop-up restaurant and casual walk-up window to the VIP space; experience an exclusive and intimate 16-course omakase and sake pairing by Chef Phillip Franklin Lee in a super secret sushi speakeasy; grab one of the many slices of pizza from NYC and LA pizza hot spots like Prince Street Pizza, Ronan, and Forever Pie; indulge in classic comfort foods with a culinary spin, like the 4 Cheese Baked Mac & Cheese topped with BBQ Pulled Pork at Big B The Chef; grab a Tijuana-style street taco and a craft margarita from Tacos 1986; drool over Szechuan Garlic Noodles from the famed Bang Bang Noodles… It’s an “all bangers all the time lineup” from some of the best culinary curators in the game.

The full food lineup is absolutely stacked but it wouldn’t be a music festival without great drinking spaces right? Whether you’re after inventive cocktails, craft beer, wine, coffee, smoothies, or cold-pressed juices, Coachella has you covered. The festival is even setting up a fully non-alcoholic bar in partnership with LA’s The New Bar, which will stock a curated selection of alcohol-free spirits, wine, beer, and RTDs. On the flip side, the festival has planned multiple speakeasies from award-winning bars, offering a respite from the festival vibe as you’re transported to New York City’s PDT or the Miami Vice-themed Sonny’s By Attaboy.

We’re going to tell you where to find all of the food and how to access these speakeasies in a bit, but we can’t preview the food without telling you about Coachella’s 8th annual pop-up dinner series, Outstanding in the Field, which has a stacked lineup of its own. Located in Coachella’s VIP Rose Garden, festival-goers will get the chance to enjoy a full-service, four-course, family-style meal from a rotating cast of chefs where you can sip on Aperol cocktails, beer, and wine while enjoying a stunning sunset in Coachella’s most tranquil hideaway. A $350 ticket (available here) will get you a welcome cocktail, and exclusive access to the VIP Rose Garden on the day of the dinner.

Here is the Outstanding in the Field lineup for both weekends:

Outstanding In The Field — WEEKEND 1

  • Friday, April 14: Zarah Khan, Executive Chef of the Michelin-starred restaurant, Rustic Canyon.
  • Saturday, April 15: Tolu Erogbogbo, Executive Chef and founder of ILÉ, a West African Concept kitchen and experiential dining room that calls Los Angeles home, and ILÉ Eros, an authentic Nigerian restaurant with a modern twist in Lagos.
  • Sunday, April 16: Jared Simons, a Los Angeles-based chef leading the plant-based movement (and is about to open Argento in Silverlake!).

Outstanding In The Field — WEEKEND 2

  • Friday, April 21: Award-winning chef, Javier Plascencia, of Animalón and JAZAMANGO fame, two restaurants rooted in traditional Mexican cuisine imbued with a thick influence from the bi-national lifestyle of the Californias.
  • Saturday, April 22: Monty Koludrovic, The man behind Hollywood’s Grandmaster Recorders, a New World Italian-Australian restaurant.
  • Sunday, April 23: Derek Christiansen and James Beard nominated Chef and owner Rene Andrade of Phoenix’s Bacanora in Phoenix, beloved for their charred Sonoran grill menu.

To help you navigate both Coachella weekends (April 15-16th and April 21-23rd), we’ve listed every single food and drink vendor at the festival (in alphabetical order), what to expect, how to score tickets to the most exclusive events, and where to find them. Let’s dive in but be warned — you’re about to drool on your phone or keyboard.

Doja Cat Uses Her Song Placement In A Taco Bell Ad To Campaign For The Return Of Mexican Pizza

Doja Cat, who had a huge year with the release of her third album Planet Her, is trying to leverage her influence to bring back a beloved fast-food menu item: Taco Bell’s discontinued Mexican pizza. Last year, Taco Bell cut the menu favorite in an effort to streamline its gargantuan selection (and save over 7 million pounds of paperboard in the process). The move was met with general outcry on social media as fans mourned the loss of the topping-stacked tortilla in a box.

At the time, Doja Cat was one of those who lamented the pizza getting axed, “asking nicely” for the fast-food giant to reconsider. However, in the past year, Doja has apparently accumulated some goodwill at Taco Bell corporate — or, at least, at Taco Bell’s ad agency — landing her song “Get Into It (Yuh)” on the company’s new commercial for its Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito. In the ad, a geeky cosplayer (SAGA!!) appears to have met their match, until the infamous Taco Bell sound effect prompts a late-night snack run instead (surely, they could have done both, but I digress).

Doja, seizing the opportunity, tweeted, “Hey @tacobell, just heard my song in your commercial… I’m a #TacoBellPartner now. So where’s my Mexican Pizza?”

When a fan answered, prompting her to speak to Taco Bell’s “Chief Impact Officer,” who is a friend of Doja’s — it’s Lil Nas X, by the way — the Taco Bell account responded in typical personified corporate account fashion: with a the three-emoji string of eye-mouth-eye, implying… well, there are a lot of potential definitions, but in this case, it seems to be a sanguine interest in the topic being discussed.

Of course, that only opened the door for more of Doja’s meme-ready shenanigans, as she hit Taco Bell with that infamous three-letter acronym, “WYD?” When the response turned out to not be “rolling out those delicious Mexican pizzas,” though, she dismissed her new playmate, telling them to “STFU” until further notice.

Could this be the beginning of the return of the Mexican Pizza menu item? Wouldn’t it be a weird way to begin the rollout? And isn’t “weird” pretty much Doja’s (and Lil Nas X’s) whole brand? And how does Rico Nasty — Doja’s good friend who occasionally goes by the alter ego “Tacobella” — figure into all of this (they’ve swapped profile pics for the past week or so)? I don’t know, but I can’t wait to find out. Fingers crossed for a “limited-time” sort of deal, a la Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hottie Sauce” collab with Popeyes.

We Tried To Devise Lorde’s Perfect Onion Ring — Here’s The Recipe

Lorde is back! Well, she’s back reviewing onion rings, at least, and we’re here for it. In her first onion ring review of 2021, the world’s most famous onion ring aficionado reviewed the Pickled Onion Rings at Auckland’s Hotel Ponsonby, which serves elevated English pub fare.

On her (no longer secret) onion ring-focused Instagram, Lorde wrote this about the pub’s rings:

We’re talking PICKLED onion rings which is a first for this reviewer. I totally vibe the concept — used to eat pickled onions out of the jar as a youngster — however I think if you’re gonna go there, go there, and let acidity rather than sweetness dominate. Absolutely sensational batter, perhaps the best I’ve tried. 4/5 overall ringsperience.

This is a solid review and will surely lead to a ring boom at Hotel Ponsonby. It was also glowing enough to motivate us to break out the ol’ wok and try these rings for ourselves (since we’re probably not going to be in Auckland anytime soon).

To master this recipe, I looked into New Zealand pickled onion culture (yes, that’s a thing). There’s actually a fair number of recipes for pickled onions throughout New Zealand’s food media outlets. The thing is, I don’t really have a week to let something pickle in a dark cupboard. So I took my cues from New Zealander’s recipes and adapted them to make it doable in about an hour with a sous vide.

I’ve used my sous vide to make a lot of pickles (root veg, eggs, fish, etc.) in the past and it really only takes about an hour to have a fully-brined pickle. For this recipe, that sped-up process will do nicely.

Lastly, I really focused on the batter. I knew it had to be something “sensational” for Lorde to give it full marks. So I made sure I was devising something that’d have a beautifully crunchy exterior while still providing a softer interior, leading to the briny and savory pickled onion inside. That’s enough preamble, let’s get into the recipe!

“Lorde’s Favorite” Pickled Onion Rings

Zach Johnston

Ingredients:

Pickle Brine:

  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/8 cup salt
  • 1/8 cup sugar
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 10 peppercorns
  • 10 coriander seeds
  • 10 mustard seeds
  • 2 bird’s eye dried chilis

A quick note on the brine. This is where I’m drawing acidity from. There’s a low amount of salt and sugar that’ll give you that “briny” edge of a pickle. Then the addition of apple cider vinegar will bring that mild pH acidic vibe to the whole thing.

Otherwise, you do you on the pickle brine spices. If you want it spicier, add more chilis. Mix and match with seeds and barks. Overall, this is a mild pickle brine with a classic edge that leans towards the New Zealand-centric pickle recipes I found online.

Zach Johnston

Ring batter:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup corn starch
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 bottle or can of pilsner (more as needed)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • Large pinch of salt
  • White pepper

Other:

  • Two yellow onions
  • Neutral oil
  • Aioli
  • Salt

Another quick note: As you can see in the image below, I’ve removed the inner skins between the layers of the onion. This is crucial for a bite-able onion ring. If you’ve ever had an onion ring that immediately slid out of the batter, it was because of that slippery film that’s between every layer. It takes a little extra time but is as easy as simply pulling the skin off after you’ve made your rings.

Zach Johnston

What You’ll Need:

  • Large Zip-lock bag
  • Sous vide circulator
  • Large pot
  • Small pot
  • Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • Wok or deep fryer
  • Slotted spoon
  • Metal grate and baking sheet
  • Paper towels
  • Tongs

Method:

For the pickled onions:

  • Set the sous vide circulator to 185F/85C in a large pot of water.
  • Add the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar to a small pot and bring to a boil to dissolve the salt and sugar. Remove from heat and let cool for ten minutes.
  • Peel and slice onions, making sure to remove the film between each layer of the onion as you push out the rings (it should slide right off).
  • Add the spices and onions to the Zip-lock bag. Pour the warm brine into the bag.
  • Immerse the bag into the bath and use the pressure of the water to remove any excess air and seal the bag. Use a clip to hold the bag to the side of the large pot.
  • Cook the onion rings for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare an ice bath. When the 30 minutes are up, place the Zip-lock bag into the ice bath to stop the cooking and cool the pickled onion rings.
Zach Johnston

For the onion rings:

  • Combine flour, corn starch, baking powder, salt, and white pepper in a large bowl.
  • Add the egg yolks and beer while whisking until you get a thin batter (sort of halfway between a crepe and pancake batter).
  • Lay the onion rings on a paper towel and pat dry.
  • Heat about one-half gallon of neutral oil in a wok or heavy-bottomed pot (I used sunflower) to 375F/190C.
  • Using tongs, dip the rings into the batter and then gently lay them into the hot oil, creating a single layer of onion rings.
  • After about one minute, flip the rings with the tongs to brown them evenly on both sides.
  • After another minute, remove the onion rings to a rack over a baking sheet. Immediately hit with a pinch of salt.
  • Repeat until all the rings are fried.
  • Serve with aioli dip.

Bottom Line:

Zach Johnston

I love fried pickle chips, so I knew I was going to love these. And, wow, thank you, Lorde, for turning me onto pickled onion rings. These are, hands down, some of the best onion rings I’ve ever tasted. And they were without a doubt the #1 best rings I’ve ever made. The onion was soft and hot with a deep pickle brine that had a touch of heat and acidity. The sweetness was there but tied more to the onion than sugar. Really though, the sweetness took a back seat to the overall brininess of the onion.

The batter was freaking sensational. The addition of corn starch allowed the batter to be super crunchy on the outside while still feeling supple on the inside. Moreover, as these rings cooled down (onion rings always get cold too fast), the batter stayed super crunchy.

Using aioli as a dipping sauce is a win as well (I used some good stuff from Spain). The lemon/garlic/mayo feel was the perfect counterpoint to the pickle brine and crunchy batter of the ring. This was comfort food in its purest form.

Finally, there was the side-by-side look of these rings compared to Lorde’s. You can judge for yourself below. I haven’t tasted my competition, but I do know that this is the only way I’ll be making onion rings from here on out. Lorde, if you’re ever near Uproxx’s offices — we got you.
