The Infatuation announced today the return of its signature food festival, EEEEEATSCON, presented by Chase Sapphire. The event is scheduled for Saturday, October 12, and Sunday, October 13 at Forest Hills Stadium in New York City. This marks the fifth year of the festival at this location since its inception in 2018.
This year's lineup includes notable figures such as actress Sofia Vergara, chef Matty Matheson, and a live show from the Girls Gotta Eat podcast. More announcements are expected soon. Over 30 restaurants will participate, featuring exclusive collaborations like Los Angeles' Community Goods and New York's Apollo Bagels.
The event will showcase popular eateries including Gotham Burger Social Club, Border Town, Brooklyn Curry Project, Radio Kwara, Sappe, Salt & Straw, Milk Bar, TOMA (MIA), Charles Pan Fried Chicken, Dune Brothers (RI), Isabel’s (MIA), among others.
EEEEEATSCON aims to offer a unique food experience akin to a music festival but with restaurants as headliners. The Infatuation curates the lineup based on its editorial expertise.
"EEEEEATSCON has become an iconic food and cultural event in New York City," said Paul Needham, CEO of The Infatuation. "We're excited to be back."
Pre-sale tickets are available through September 4 exclusively for Chase Sapphire Reserve and Preferred cardmembers at a discounted rate. General admission tickets go on sale September 4 at $41.86 each.
Chase Sapphire Reserve cardmembers will enjoy additional perks such as complimentary beverages and exclusive bites within the Chase Sapphire Reserve Lounge.
The announcement follows recent EEEEEATSCON events in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Miami earlier this year.
The Infatuation was acquired by JPMorgan Chase & Co. in 2021 to enhance dining-related investments.
Other brand partners for EEEEEATSCON include Chase Ink®, LaCroix, DashPass by DoorDash, Lyft, Teremana Tequila, MLB Life, Coca-Cola & Gold Peak Tea.
