ChainFest is a collaboration between BJ Novak of “The Office” and chef Tim Hollingworth, former head chef of the French Laundry, and TV star Chrissy Teigen.
The event, billed as the “world’s first gourmet festival for chain restaurants,” is an evolution of Chain, a West Hollywood restaurant that hosts short-lived pop-ups that typically sell out quickly. The food is usually upscale versions of dishes served at chain restaurants like Taco Bell and Chili’s Grill & Bar.
According to a press release, this year’s ChainFest will feature collaborations with partners such as Cracker Barrel, Dutch Bros, Domino’s, Hot Dog on a Stick, KFC, Krisy Kreme, Panda Express, Red Lobster and White Castle.
There will also be a Trader Vic’s pop-up store and a Pepto Bismol “help station.”
The festival is produced by Medium Rare, which performed Shaq’s Fun House in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl.
The venue is Row DTLA, 777 S. Alameda St., Los Angeles.
The first ChainFest took place last December and is the subject of a documentary about Roku.
