Wondering what to eat? Wonder no more.

Hundreds of burners with discerning tastes flocked to the playa for the dinner rush on Friday evening, likely the last dry moment of the event. They were hungry, but more than anything they wanted to stand in line. Perhaps the longest line could be found in front of Flaketown, where an estimated 300 burners were served grilled cheese buttered on both sides. Hannah, a young, hungry burner who had been waiting in line for approximately 30 minutes, looking longingly at grill confessed, “cheese makes me shit myself.” It became clear as another half an hour passed, that the burners weren’t just here for the food, they were here for the community. Comma Gee, who had also been standing in line for quite some time noted, “The grilled cheese is the vehicle for the social encounters I’m having along the way.”

Just a few steps away, another massive crowd formed outside of Ballsout Shelter, where an assembly line of apron-clad ,and sometimes only apron-clad chefs churned out more than one hundred pizzas. The standing-only dining experience and diverse menu was impressive given each pie was made to order. If you weren’t there to pick yours up, the DJ would stop the music and try to find you so it was very hard to accidentally forfeit the pizza you had waited waited in line for.
But the most outstanding meal of the night came from none-other than the world famous Chochin Obake, a popular food cart and now high-profile dining experience theme camp. Wonderfuse News received a credible tip that oysters would be served around 5 pm. While the first attempt to secure an oyster was not successful, another reporter tried about two hours later and was handed a fresh oyster with an exquisite and complex spicy citrus sauce.
