Experience the Culinary Extravaganza at EEEEEATSCON LA 2023

Food lovers are in for a treat as EEEEEATSCON LA returns this June! Held on June 28-29 at The Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, this annual festival features an impressive lineup of local and national restaurants renowned for their delicious dishes. Unlike typical food festivals that offer tiny tasting bites, EEEEEATSCON LA focuses on hearty portions, ensuring attendees leave satisfied. If you have a big appetite for seriously good food, this is the event you don’t want to miss.

EEEEEATSCON LA is all about food that rocks. Brant Cox, the editorial lead of The Infatuation LA, describes it as a festival that captures the excitement of a music festival, with restaurants acting as the headliners. “There’s a million food festivals out there, but EEEEEATSCON is unique in that it brings together top-tier culinary talent,” says Cox. This year, expect to taste some of the best food from Los Angeles and beyond, prepared by restaurants known for creating buzz both on social media and through word of mouth.

Among the culinary stars making an appearance this year is Fitoor, a modern Indian restaurant based in Santa Monica that specializes in wood-fired and grilled dishes. You can also look forward to Mini Kabob from Glendale, a cherished spot famous for its kabobs. Cox is particularly excited about their never-before-seen Chicken Caesar wrap, which promises to be a game-changer. “It’s unbelievably good,” he assures, and is sure to be a crowd favorite at the festival.

One of the standout offerings this year is the collaboration between Quarter Sheets, a beloved pizza place, and Bridgetown Roti, a Caribbean-inspired restaurant. They will be serving an oxtail pizza that Cox claims attendees should line up for without hesitation. Festivals are not just about local eats, however; EEEEEATSCON LA also shines a spotlight on out-of-state culinary sensations. One such highlight is Brave Idiot, a Nashville-based food truck famed for its juicy hot chicken. “This is a must-try! It’s revered in Nashville,” Cox shared, making it clear that there’s something for everyone’s palate.

Additionally, EEEEEATSCON LA isn’t just about food—it offers panel discussions led by food experts and features live music, creating an immersive culinary experience. With a general admission ticket priced at $25, attendees gain access to panels, music, and the chance to explore a diverse array of delectable dishes. It’s worth noting that food and beverages will be sold separately, but with the quality and selection available, you’re in for a memorable gastronomic adventure.

Mark your calendars for EEEEEATSCON LA! Taking place from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 28, and Sunday, June 29, this festival promises to showcase the best of what the culinary world has to offer.
