Lollapalooza's 2016 music lineup may have been released back in March, but that was just throat-clearing for the real lineup: the 2016 food lineup. Finally, it's here!

This year's Chow Town lineup, curated by Graham Elliot—of Chicago's Graham Elliot Bistro and, until recently, MasterChef—is as upscale as funnel cakes are not. Food will come from venues like Momofuku Milk Bar, Tank Noodle, Dia de los Tamales, Harold's Chicken and Kamehachi (that's right: fest sushi).

Lollapalooza has had upscale food for some time; of the 35 vendors, only nine, including Momofuku, are new, Eater reports. However, there will be a new addition to the fest's food scene: "corner bodegas," where fest-goers can get fresh fruit, granola, trail mix, and other on-the-go snacks and necessities.

Here's the full food lineup:
