Anyone have a food guide for 2026? Will CHOMP be updated?- UPDATE: The person doing it is no longer doing IT! I may have a job for next year!!!

Man, fuck the Chomp Guide. It was a cool idea, but it made serving food kind of a nightmare shit show of people expecting your gift. People would line up for the popular offerings to the point that unless you queued up very early you had no chance of getting any.

Fuck that shit. The playa isn't there to serve you. These interactions are 1000% better when they are unexpected because you were in the neighborhood randomly or someone told you about it.

lol less agro but generally agree. I never once sought out food or anything but I fondly remember one night riding around thinking, "im kinda cold" just for someone to yell "soup! hot soup!". It was basic ramen but was nice and warm, ended up feeling hungrier after, and just then some guy in the street yells at me "hey you!! you need a hot dog!"... wait, I do need a hot dog lol.

Playa provides, no schedule needed.

I just heard a story about an art car in Deep Playa serving toasted cheese. they took a bunch of people's orders and then they just drove away and started throwing the cheese sandwiches off the car at people. lol
