Bitten: A Food Conversation

Two of the best mouths in the business kick off this 3 day food mashup. Jose Andres and Gary Vaynerchuk drop science on the crowd discussing how the tech and food worlds are emulsifying. See what I did there? Follow that with a truly all sensory experience…or is it a dinner?…from IN THE MOUTH. They throw experimental food events. Three words we love on their own. Smashed together we’d kinda freaking out. There’s also some Google food awards and a talk by Audi, yes the car company. The Food loves Tech opening night event will probably sell out quick but if you can’t score a seat, you can check out the expo with a similar theme Saturday and Sunday. Not a bad consolation prize. Friday, June 10 from 6:00 PM to 11:30 PM in NYC.

This one looks like a sleeper. No formal website. Understand schedule. A great cause. With this past weekends NYCWFF debacle and douchery, we need something that promises to be back to the roots of why food is so celebritized in the first place. Food meets technology and we can actually eat at this one. Future of Food 2016 is so future it is hosted in Queens. This could be the smartest, tastiest three and a half hours of your week. Thursday, October 20th from 6:00 – 9:30pm in Queens, NY

This weekend is a little like Christmas week when we were five years old. The anticipation of thousands of specialty food vendors coming to New York for the Fancy Food Show makes our mouths salivate and eyes widen. The tasting bites always reveal hidden gems but equally exciting is checking out the unique packaging design. We geek out like that. The Brooklyn Eats Trade Show smartly piggy backs on the Fancy Food Shows massive attendee list. It a more manageable show than the massive Javits Center for sure. This year we’re looking forward to checking out some of our favorite artisans and their new edibles. Morris Kitchen has some lemon preserve syrup we’re jonesing for. Pazzi Pasta might be making a play on Sfoglini. And, of course, we love popping in on our old friends like Dona Chai and Brooklyn Delhi. It’s well worth the $10 to get your Brooklyn Food on. June 24th from 10AM-4PM @Downtown Marriott in Brooklyn.

Next Saturday there is going to be a collection of some of the best, biggest and most innovative food brains in the country holding court in Manhattan. The Foundermade Food Conference has set quite the agenda covering topics from Marketing food products to Food Innovations to Changing The Way People Eat. Of course there will be plenty of time for Founder Stories and the networking nibble we all love so much. If you have any business in the business of food grab a seat and take a listen. Saturday, April 2nd from 10:00am – 6:00pm @ Spring Studios in NYC.
