CHEF FLEETWOOD COVINGTON

CHEF FLEETWOOD COVINGTON

Executive Chef Fleetwood Covington is known for his masterful ability to showcase design and taste simultaneously. Trained by renowned fine dining chefs in the intimate setting of Seagar’s Prime Steaks & Seafood, his focus on guest experience is central to the establishment’s status as the area’s sole AAA Four Diamond steakhouse and one of Florida’s top five steakhouses.

Encouraging diners to try new flavors and dishes alongside perennial favorites, Covington creates an ambience that defines the Seagar’s experience. Inspired, seasonal touches like miniature bonfire centerpieces fill the space with subtle herbal aromas, meeting equally inspired accoutrements like foie gras-infused butter and final bites including a flourless chocolate cake infused with red wine reduction.

Eat. Drink. Feed NYC. 16

years ago, the Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival presented by Capital One started with a single event called SWEET celebrating the most fabulous desserts in New York City. Since then, we’ve grown into the biggest wine and food festival in the city.

Celebrating 16 years of culinary excellence this October 12-15, the Festival is set to offer an unforgettable epicurean experience like no other, all to support our host and charitable partner, God’s Love We Deliver.

Giving back to our local community has always been central to the mission of NYCWFF. Over the past 15 years, $14.8 million has gone to our charitable partners. Our partnership with God’s Love We Deliver, New York’s City’s only provider of life-sustaining meals and nutrition counseling, allows us to further help their mission to feed and nourish New Yorkers living with severe illness. We are honored that 100% of the Festival’s net proceeds support this organization.

This guide presents the Festival’s four-day schedule in its entirety and will help you plan the ultimate NYCWFF weekend. With over 400 chefs, Food Network personalities, mixologists and wine and spirit producers coming together, this year’s lineup promises to be the most robust yet, showcasing the diverse, vibrant and dynamic culinary landscape of New York City.

From celebrity chefs to independently owned gems across all five boroughs, NYCWFF strives to support NYC’s restaurants and bars, resulting in one of the most eclectic wine and food Festivals. You’ll find our guest chefs headlining our Intimate Dinner Series, participating in walk-around tasting events, teaching hands-on master classes and showing off their skills at daily, themed parties so that every NYCWFF guest can experience their culinary prowess.

We’ve brought back classics like our Blue Moon Burger Bash presented by Pat LaFrieda Meats hosted by Rachael Ray,

fan favorite Tacos & Tequila hosted by the Cast of the Kitchen and exciting late-night cocktail events. In honor of Hip-Hop’s 50th Anniversary celebration , the Festival’s official closing party will be a cookout presented by BACARDÍ, featuring DJ CASSIDY, Ice-T, Rev Run, DJ MICK, JJ Johnson, Tamron Hall and Angela Yee. The event will spotlight dishes that capture the richly layered flavors of Black culture while paying homage to the art form that originated in the Bronx. At our largest event, the Grand Tasting, guests can sample an incredible array of dishes along with over 200 wines and spirits from the Festival’s exclusive provider, Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits. We’ll also introduce several new events including the Demo & Dine series, Best of Brooklyn and a celebration of Latin culture and cuisine to name a few. Visit us at NYCWFF.org for more information and to purchase tickets.

Thank you for helping us EAT. DRINK. FEED NYC.
