The NYC Food Film Festival, Oct. 22nd-25th, returns to New York City for its 9th consecutive year, offering a unique series of events where food and film lovers will taste what they see on the screen, as attendees are simultaneously served the food that is seen in the films. The four-day fest will screen over 30 food films, including 8 world premieres and 7 New York City premieres. There is guaranteed to be something to satisfy every craving.
In addition to the great events already announced, the festival has just added some new details and special guests to the lineup. This includes Brooklyn’s own Hometown BBQ who will be hosting the VIP pre-party at Thursday night’s Tender: Stories of Love and Meat. Get your tickets now to meet pitmasters Kent Black of Black’s Barbeque and Scott Morales of Taylor Café as they dish up their famous Texas Barbeque. The following evening, Brad Farmerie’s Michelin starred restaurant, Public, will be hosting the VIP pre-party for The Food Porn Party. Plus, enjoy a special collaboration from Chef Keizo Shimamoto and Chef Yosuke Sumida who are teaming up to bring you life changing pork ramen. During Eat Your Movies! A Family Event on 10/24, Sesame Street’s own puppeteer Leslie Carrara-Rudolph will be making an appearance to spread the joy at the festival’s first ever family event! Later that evening, SoHo based David Burke Kitchen will be hosting the VIP party at Edible Adventure # 13: Hungry for Love with a special matcha tea tasting from the Ippodo Tea Company.
We’ve all salivated over the seemingly impossibly perfect dishes on cooking shows, unable to bring the same meal to fruition in our own kitchens. At the Food Film Festival, finally, you can taste exactly what you see on screen. It’s a festival for the senses.
