GOLDEN GATE PARK—The preliminary list of food vendors for Outside Lands has been announced, and the list of nearly 30 local restaurants and eateries is pretty impressive (and still being updated).
Some of the bigger names are Taylor's Automatic Refresher, Hog Island, Dosa, Little Skillet, Namu and Yats, Asqew Grill, Burgermeister, Charles Chocolates, Farmer Brown’s Little Skillet, Full of Life Flatbread, Gordo Tacqueria, It's-It Ice Cream, Lydia's Lovin' Foods, Mission Minis, just to name a select few.
But about those ticket prices, which many people complain are too expensive to even get them in the door to stand in long lines to order the overpriced food.
The concert itself will feature Pearl Jam, M.I.A., the Beastie Boys, Dead Weather, Ween, TV on the Radio, Tom Jones and a bunch more.
