A cheat sheet to this week’s Night Market: Locol, Bludso’s BBQ, the best Hainan chicken in L.A.

Maybe you’ve been chasing down the Nomad truck, the food truck run by Daniel Humm and Will Guidara (the duo behind Eleven Madison Park, recently named the best restaurant in the world, the NoMad and the NoMad Bar). Or maybe you’re craving the Hainan chicken rice from Side Chick, the Arcadia mall restaurant that Times critic Jonathan Gold recently called the best in L.A. Or maybe the pork belly baos from Eddie Huang’s Baohaus are on your must-try list. Now you can have them all in one place: The NoMad truck, that excellent Hainan chicken and Huang’s pork belly baos will all be at the Los Angeles Times Night Market at Grand Park, which begins Wednesday.

What is it?

As part of Food Bowl, The Times’ month-long love letter to the food scene in L.A., we’re hosting a night market with 50 food booths at Grand Park downtown, from Wednesday night through Sunday evening. It’s five consecutive nights of some of the best food in the city, from restaurants and food trucks, plus drinks and plenty of music.

What you’ll be eating

Some of the market highlights include Locol, Roy Choi and Daniel Patterson’s Watts eatery that was recently named Los Angeles Times Restaurant of the Year, the toothpick lamb from Chendgu Taste, the spicy Jazz Burger from Jitlada, brisket from Bludso’s BBQ (now that the Compton location, the one on Gold’s 101 Best Restaurants List, has closed), excellent bowls of rice from Rice Bar, Kogi BBQ, Salt & Straw ice cream, tacos from Guerrilla Tacos, pizza from Prova Pizzeria, pasta from the Prince of Venice truck and something special from Wolfgang Puck’s WP24. Gelato Messina, the Australian gelato shop with a location in Las Vegas, will also be at the market.
