UPCOMING FOOD AND WINE EVENTS

You can’t attend the Austin City Limits Music Festival without hitting up the ever-evolving food court, and even if you aren’t planning to attend, you can catch a few food-related side parties over the next few days.

David Bull of Second Bar & Kitchen will be stepping out from behind the VIP tent to serve some 20,000 bánh mì sandwiches, with the help of students from the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts. Popular food trucks Chi’lantro and Luke’s Inside Out will also join the food court. The team behind the Judge’s Hill Restaurant and Bar will serve up pulled puerco pibil sandwiches with jicama coleslaw and house-made pickles and vegetarian arepas.

The HOPE Farmers’ Market will return for a pop-up version of its Sunday market with vendors including Gardener’s Feast, Lamba’s Royal Indian Food, Pate Letelier, Cazamance and The Seedling Truck.
