ChainFEST, the world’s largest gourmet chain food festival founded by BJ Novak, made an epic return to Los Angeles on Saturday, Oct. 5, at the Skylight ROW DTLA and has tapped LACTAID®, a leading lactose-free milk and dairy dessert brand, to round out its all-star lineup of gourmet collaborators.

The LACTAID® brand offered a lactose-free dupe of a chain favorite dessert made with 100% real dairy ice cream and cookie at the LACTAID® Ice Cream & Cookie Parlor, a first-of-its-kind at ChainFEST LA. This inclusive experience provides those with lactose intolerance the opportunity to enjoy delicious, real dairy delights – just without the lactose.

 

That’s why LACTAID®, a leading lactose-free real dairy brand that uses a lactase enzyme to break down the lactose found in milk for easier digestion, popped up with the LACTAID® Ice Cream & Cookie Parlor at ChainFEST LA. At this exclusive experience, the LACTAID® brand dropped a limited-time run of a lactose-free real dairy dessert only for ChainFEST LA attendees – which is all part of the brand’s mission to help eliminate dairy “foodmo” (the fear of missing out on favorite foods) and stomach discomfort without compromising on enjoying delicious, real dairy.

A-list stars including John Mayer, Kim Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen, Seth Rogen, Andy Cohen, Bobbi Antonoff, Kiernan Shipka, Austin Reaves, Mindy Kaling indulged in delicious bites from their favorite chain restaurants including LACTAID, Cracker Barrel, Domino’s, Johnny Rockets, White Castle, KFC, Panda Express, Red Robin, and many more.

“ChainFEST is about celebrating the pop cuisine that brings us all together,” said Nicholas Kraft, co-founder of Chain. “It’s truly a great moment for us that the LACTAID® brand has come on board to bring a first-of-its-kind LTO ice cream and cookie dessert to the festival – a treat that everyone loves. Now, more people can enjoy since it’s made with 100% milk and cream, just without the lactose, so lactose intolerant people don’t have to compromise their enjoyment of delicious, real dairy.”

Made with 100% real milk and cream, LACTAID® Ice Cream will be offered to ChainFEST attendees as part of an exclusive ice cream and cookie combination.

Details about each dessert include:

  • LACTAID® Creamy Lactose-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Delight – LACTAID® ultra-creamy Vanilla Ice Cream will top Chain’s ooey-gooey, deep-dish chocolate chip cookie.
  • LACTAID® Creamy Lactose-Free Cookies & Cream Supreme – Luxuriously rich LACTAID® Cookies & Cream Ice Cream will top Chain’s delicious oatmeal cookie.

“I’m especially excited to be able to offer ChainFEST guests more dessert options this year,” said Chef Tim Hollingsworth, co-founder of Chain. “The deep-dish cookie topped with ice cream is one of the all-time great chain restaurant desserts.”

These delicious lactose-free LACTAID® ice cream desserts were available for all attendees only at ChainFEST LA. To dupe your own desserts at home in the meantime, LACTAID® Ice Cream is available at most grocery stores, offering eight delicious flavors all made with 100% real milk and cream, just without the lactose, to satisfy your sweet tooth and your sensitive stomach.

Some of the highlights from this year’s event included: 

  • Chrissy Teigen gets a lower back tattoo! Check out the photo of her proudly showing off her brand-new, White Castle-inspired temporary lower back tattoo
  • John Mayer photo bombing Andy Cohen’s shot with Red, the Red Robin mascot, in the VIP lounge 
  • Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models Camille Kostek and Chrissy Teigen meet for the first time and bond over their love of chain restaurants 
  • Mindy Kaling takes home a fistful of Cracker Barrel jean jacket patches home for her daughter 
  • LA’s cult fave, Koo Koo Roo made its first appearance after shuttering 10 years ago and since the news it’s reopening brick and mortar locations in California
  • Audrina Patridge hitting the DJ booth
