The Infatuation’s EEEEEATSCON New York Presented by Chase Sapphire was a perfect weekend that got elevated by Lyft.
New Yorkers came from near and far to enjoy the foodie fest which was a spectacular way to celebrate local restaurants, food brands, and the people who love them. Thousands of attendees came out to Forest Hills Stadium for an all-star lineup on Oct. 12 and Oct. 13.
“EEEEEATSCON has become an iconic food and cultural event in New York City,” said Paul Needham, CEO of The Infatuation.
The beloved annual event this year featured panels with Sofia Vergara, Matty Matheson, Girls Gotta Eat, and many more as over 30 participating restaurants from New York and across the U.S. came together for the affair including collaborations between Community Goods (LA) x Apollo Bagels and Cloudy Donut Co. x Sugar Hill Creamery, as well as Gotham Burger Social Club, Sappe, Momofuku, and Salt & Straw.
Vergara and her son Manolo Gonzalez Vergara were a highlight on the center stage during a thrilling panel where the dynamic duo spoke about their deep-rooted love for Latin food and Manolo’s unwavering passion for cooking. Together with legendary hospitality executive Sam Nazarian, their food brand TOMA was created to share the best of Latin cuisine with the world.

Additional brand partners who created special experiences for EEEEEATSCON included Chase Ink, LaCroix, DashPass by DoorDash, Teremana Tequila, MLB Life, Coca-Cola, and Gold Peak Tea.
