This Food Festival Is Combining Our Favorite Chain Restaurants With Gourmet Creativity

ChainFEST, the brainchild of B.J. Novak and celebrated chef Tim Hollingsworth, is gearing up for an LA-based extravaganza this December. It’s not your average food festival; it’s the world’s first gourmet chain food festival. They’re riding high on their fusion of nostalgia and gastronomy, where renowned chain restaurants meet culinary creativity.

At this two-day fest, you can expect to savor exclusive creations from chain legends like Chili’s Grill and Bar, Dunkin’, Jack in the Box, Panda Express, Pizza Hut, Red Robin, and SONIC Drive-In. And yes, they promise to flip the script on the traditional food fest.

ChainFEST is cooking up one-of-a-kind menu items and beverages that will vanish as quickly as your memories of those late-night drive-thru runs. Game changer alert: If you’re feeling too comfortable to leave your spot, Postmates will come to the rescue with on-site delivery.

Here’s the kicker: entry covers all your food and drinks. So no need to ponder over the menu prices or do a random round of selling on Depop.

Event Details:

  • When & Where: December 1-2 at Nya Studios in Hollywood, CA
  • The Menu: Iconic chain restaurants, including Chili’s, Dunkin’, and Pizza Hut, are getting a gourmet makeover from Chef Tim Hollingsworth
  • Ticketing: Starting October 12, single-day, all-food-inclusive tickets will be available for pre-sale on EatatChain.com.
