The Backstage Food Scene at Montreal's Osheaga Festival Is Crazypants

Good food could well be Osheaga's secret weapon. Bands love to play the annual Montreal festival and the promise of killer grub is a factor, no doubt. In 2014 star chef Chuck Hughes gave Eater the exclusive lowdown on what it takes to cater Osheaga—fast-forward 12 months and the Garde Manger, Le Bremner man is poised to do it all over again with his crack Crown Salts crew. We will have some post-Osheaga scoopage next week but until then, here's a preview of the action from the food tents so far.

Awesome @crownsalts crew getting ready for an epic day of @osheaga catering! @gill_ianni @thelaserwolf @vitociocca #crownsalts #osheaga
