VIP Experience

This year we’re thrilled to debut an exciting new pairings theme in our VIP Lounge, featuring exclusive pairings from NYC’s hottest restaurants and bars, including the two-time 2011 James Beard Foundation Award-winning Eleven Madison Park.

VIP Ticket Holders enjoy a one-hour preview of the full event, plus exclusive access to the VIP Lounge, complete with dishes and drinks from restaurants not featured in the main event.

Our exclusive pairings will include a “Backyard Barbecue” hosted by Eleven Madison Park and PDT (short for “Please Don’t Tell”), featuring the elusive Humm Dog – a bacon-wrapped, deep-fried dog topped with melted Gruyère, celery relish and black-truffle-laced mayo – paired with a Smoked Beer Cocktail created by PDT’s celebrated mixologist, Jim Meehan. Additional pairings in our all-star VIP lineup include Michael White’s Ai Fiori with Eben Freeman, and Brooklyn darling Roberta’s teaming up with Pegu Club. Now that’s a home run!

That’s a whole lot of talent in one room – and you don’t want to miss out! VIP tickets are limited.  Puchase your VIP tickets now.
