The Los Angeles State Historic Park will be hosting the Family Style Culinary Festival again on September 28th. This one-day event combines streetwear and gastronomy and promises to provide unique culinary, shopping, and cultural experiences. The event, which is organized by Complex in collaboration with The Pokemon Company International, features a wide range of chefs, eateries, companies, and performers. 

The family-friendly event combines food and fashion for a one-of-a-kind event. Collaborative food and merchandise items will be available exclusively at the festival. Not only will there be a delicious array of food, but there will also be clothes from the hottest brands and designers, Family Style’s own “Next In Line” cooking competition, a kid’s area, and a select music lineup.

Selected Menu Items from Food Vendors

Celebrated chefs and well-known food sellers will provide a variety of gastronomic treats during the event. Among the well-known names are Katz’s Delicatessen, Regina’s Grocery, Kato, Kuya Lord, Bacanora, baroo, and Din Tai Fung. Other vendors bringing their flavors to the event include Burritos La Palma, Park’s BBQ, Jeni’s Ice Cream, Howlin’ Ray’s, and Broad Street Oyster Co.

Some of the highlights of this year’s list are unique ideas like Pikachu’s Electric Cafe, which will serve only bubble tea, and Alfredo, a collaboration between The Alchemist and Freddie Gibbs inspired by their 2020 album. A host of additional vendors, including Ggiata, Holy Basil, Wanderlust Creamery, Cobi’s, Moo’s Craft Barbecue, Mariscos Jalisco, Camphor, Amboy Quality Meats & Delicious Burgers, and many more, are scheduled to participate.

Only Available Items from Top Streetwear Brands

Apart from its varied cuisine selection, the event will showcase partnerships with leading streetwear labels, enabling guests to acquire rare items. Nike, Converse, Awake NY, Better Gift Shop, Billionaire Boys Club, Kids of Immigrants, The Hundreds, verdy, Diet Starts Monday, Compton Cowboys, New Era, Bricks & Woods, Tombogo, Tokyo Vitamin, DJ Javier, and Daydreamer LA are among the participating businesses.

These companies will work with food vendors to produce limited-edition goods that showcase the festival’s distinctive convergence of fashion and cuisine, combining aspects from both.

NEXT IN LINE Cooking Competition

The NEXT IN LINE cooking competition, which aims to promote diversity in the culinary industry, will undoubtedly be the event’s centerpiece. This year’s competition will include up-and-coming female chefs thanks to a partnership formed with RE, a nonprofit organization that is committed to expanding opportunities for women working in the food business. Five chefs will square off for a $10,000 prize that will help launch their culinary careers. 

Intricate Plans for Acquisition and Growth

The Family Style Food Festival will make its debut in 2024 after being purchased by Complex, a well-known media outlet that specializes in convergence culture. Family Style is now Complex’s food-focused sector, and the company intends to grow into new markers as a result of this purchase. 

Family Style will have its premiere in November at ComplexCon in Las Vegas, after the Los Angeles event. Family Style will become even more well-known in the cultural sphere when Travis Scott and Playboi Carti headline ComplexCon, an event renowned for its blend of fashion, music, and art.
