Lollapalooza's big, impressive lineup has met its match: some of Chicago's best chefs and restaurants are now on board to provide food to festival goers.

The Chicago Tribune's "The Stew" blog reports that Chef Graham Elliot Bowles was put in charge of curating the music festival's food lineup--which will feature 17 beloved local restaurants and chains.

Just a sample of who is on board: Trotter's To Go, burger heaven Kuma's Corner, Paul Kahan's adored Big Star and the decadent Hoosier Mama Pie Company.

Lollapalooza takes place at Grant Park Aug. 6-8. For the full music lineup, click here. For the music schedule, click here.

Lollapalooza is the savior of Chicago festivals. It seriously has to be one of the most enjoyable and best organized events in America. If you're a fan of music - of any kind - you must go!

Just be ready to sweat.

What no funnel cakes or deep fried twinkies? Go for the music, stay for the food.

Looks pretty good, but not good enough to risk my life in Chicago.

Lolla's held on the southwest side now? What park is large enough over there?

Oh, that's right. You read something about crime in one area of the city and automatically assumed it's the entire city.

Pretty much, yep. A body has cancer in one certain area it still has cancer.

At least Chicago's violence isn't stopping you from making ridiculous statements.

Festival food is digusting, but for "some reason" I'm always so hungry that I don't care what they are serving.

I've seen this exact food line up at Bonnaroo this year and ACL last year. It's called advertisement. HP sells out on stuff like this. Don't buy in. Go for the bands, not for the food.

looks like pretty typical BBQ to me.. Seriously, Americans are really missing out on street vendor foods that the rest of the world enjoys...

Will they have the lobster tail dogs again? (Basically a corn dog but made of lobster tails instead of hotdogs).

They were AWESOME! And I hate seafood.
