Forget setting aside money for a band T-shirt this year – you’re gonna need extra room in your wallet (and stomach) to serve up the drool-worthy food at the Big Day Out‘s new culinary venture – Chow Town.
After giving us the chef lineups for each city, we now have the menu of dishes each outlet will be serving up, along with the price tags. And man, it looks very tantalising indeed.
A ‘Red Hot Chili’ burger before the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Fried Cheese and Honey before The Killers? Ka Pow Beef before Vampire Weekend? Whatever tickles your fancy, you should be able to find something to rock your taste buds at Chow Town.
