KAABOO's Palate experience represents one of the most upscale culinary environments at any music festival, where guests can sample local and regional delicacies and small-batch specialties from a variety of carefully selected culinary artisans from San Diego and Southern California. Gourmet delectables will go hand-in-hand with dozens of limited production wines, craft beer, and cocktails.
In addition to enjoying the culinary and craft beverage offerings, guests will be able to immerse themselves in a behind-the-scenes glimpse at some of the country’s most esteemed chef talent. While music headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers, P!nk, Muse, and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers play on the music stages and comedians like Sebastian Maniscalco and David Spade bring the laughs, chef and cocktail talents leading the culinary stage include Jon Shook & Vinny Dotolo, Robert Irvine, Richard Blais, Michael Voltaggio, and Kelis. Additional demos on the main culinary stage will include Kevin Gillespie, Julio Cabrera, and Chris Adams. The finals of the KAABOO Rock ‘N Chef Competition will also be returning to the Palate stage following the satellite competitions held in Los Angeles and San Diego.
