EEEEEATSCON LA 2026: Here’s What to Eat, Drink, and Not Miss this Year

LOS ANGELES - April 28, 2026 - Looking for something fun to do in Los Angeles this May? The Infatuation’s signature food festival, EEEEEATSCON, is back at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica for one weekend only—Saturday, May 16 and Sunday, May 17. Expect a packed, one-stop lineup of LA’s hard-to-book favorites, buzzy newcomers, and out-of-town icons, plus festival-only dishes and collaborations you can’t try anywhere else.

What Is EEEEEATSCON?

EEEEEATSCON is a weekend-long food festival by The Infatuation, a leading restaurant discovery platform trusted for honest, expert recommendations on where to eat. The festival brings The Infatuation’s editorial voice off the screen and into the real world—turning its curated restaurant recommendations into an in-person, multi-restaurant experience.

Think of the festival as the ultimate tasting experience for people who love restaurants: instead of spending months hunting down the best new restaurants, traveling across the country for a viral slice of pizza, or waiting for a reservation at the hottest new spot in town, EEEEEATSCON puts it all under one roof for one weekend only. And Chase cardholders have exclusive access to tickets!

LA Classics (and the New Spots Everyone’s Talking About)

This year’s lineup includes the classic restaurants Angelenos already know and love alongside some of the city’s most talked-about newer names.

• Miya Miya: EEEEEATSCON attendees can enjoy one of LA’s most talked-about pop-ups right now.
• Sqirl: The iconic LA café, plus their chocolate chip cookie The Infatuation ranked #1 in the city.
• Mustard's Bagels: An Infatuation Best New Restaurants 2025 hit featuring its beloved open-faced bagels that are normally only available in Culver City Friday through Sunday.
• Henrietta: A fixture in The Infatuation’s Best Sandwiches in LA guide, making its first-ever EEEEEATSCON appearance.
• Rasarumah: An emerging Malaysian restaurant in LA that made the Infatuation’s Best New Restaurants 2025 list and is now making its EEEEEATSCON debut.

Top Spots, Tough-to-Get Tables, and Out-of-Towners

One of the best things about EEEEEATSCON is that it brings together restaurants that can be tough to get into, viral spots with lines around the block, and out-of-town favorites you’d normally have to travel for.

• Bistro Na's: The acclaimed Chinese restaurant located outside of LA and notoriously difficult to get into, is bringing a festival-exclusive dish not available on its regular menu—Crispy Shrimp with passion fruit and hawthorn sauce.
• L’Industrie Pizzeria (NYC): The cult-favorite slice shop with reliably long lines is making its first-ever appearance at the festival. No flight required.
• Willie Mae’s Scotch House (New Orleans): The legendary New Orleans fried chicken institution, is returning to LA exclusively for EEEEEATSCON—a meaningful moment for anyone who remembers its brick-and-mortar LA location, which closed in 2022.
• Caffè Panna (NYC): Iconic NYC ice cream shop is bringing two festival-exclusive desserts: a Black and White Cookie Affogato and a Peanut Butter Brownie Sundae.
• El Moro (Mexico City): The Mexico City churro institution, which opened its LA location in January 2026 to immediate lines around the block, is making its festival debut.

Exclusive Collabs and Festival-Only Dishes

Come hungry: some of the most anticipated bites at EEEEEATSCON are the collaborations and menu items you can only get at the festival.

• Two Hommés x Jitlada: A collaboration pairing flavors from the legendary Thai Town landmark with bites from the Inglewood-based, Afro-centric fusion restaurant.
• Tacos Los Cholos x Cowy Burger (Miami): The LA taco institution meets a Miami fan-favorite in a cross-city mashup.
• Giovanni’s Tiramisu: Serving zeppole, an exclusive item available only at EEEEEATSCON LA.
• Katsu Sando: Shaved ice dessert called Kakigōri made with ice shipped directly from Japan.
• Little Fish: Festival-exclusive Chilled Shrimp Roll available for this weekend only.
