This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Oregon chapter.

Every year thousands of people flock to the Golden Gate Park on a foggy San Francisco summer weekend for one of the city’s best music festivals, Outside Lands. Little do most know, the festival is loaded with insane menu items ranging in all types of culinary genres. Here are a few of the headliners that you should definitely check out.

1. 4505 Meats: Garlic Chimichurri Fries

Who wants garlic fries when you could have garlic CHIMICHURRI fries. Don’t be afraid of the Argentinean flare.
