Restaurant discovery platform The Infatuation announced the return of its signature food festival, EEEEEATSCON New York, set to take place at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, on October 7 and 8, 2023.

According to the event’s organizers, EEEEEATSCON is a different kind of food experience, built in the spirit of a music festival, but with restaurants as the headliners. The event will feature food from more than 25 restaurants around New York and across the U.S. This year’s EEEEEATSCON New York will also offer exciting programming including conversations with Sarah Jessica Parker, Hasan Minhaj & Friends Stand Up Hour, The Kid Mero with Jalen Brunson & Josh Hart of the New York Knicks, and Ride with Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone LIVE.

EEEEEATSCON New York offers an exciting lineup of some of The Infatuation’s greatest hits from New York City and around the country, with bars, cafes, food trucks and restaurants including: Burns Original BBQ (Houston, TX), 1-900-ICE-CREAM (Philadelphia, PA), The Fry Bread House (Phoenix, AZ), Tacos Los Cholos (Los Angeles, CA), Caracas Bakery (Miami, FL), Mr. Tuna (Portland, ME), Dept of Culture, Lord’s, Potluck Club, Hawksmoor NYC, Ariari, Kru, Bobbi’s Italian Beef, Balkan StrEAT, Panzerotti Bites, Rowdy Rooster, Charles Pan Fried Chicken, Cait’s Key Lime, Aunts Et Uncles, Tompkins Square Bagels, Apotheke, Best Damn Cookies, Comfortland and Zhego.

Created by The Infatuation, EEEEEATSCON originated in Los Angeles in 2017, followed by its launch in New York City in the fall of 2018, and its expansion to Chicago in 2023. The event is designed for people who want more from a food festival than just tasting portions and cooking demonstrations. With live music performances throughout the day and panels from thought leaders and industry pioneers, EEEEEATSCON is as much about connecting with a community and getting inspired as it is about eating and being entertained.
