Get ready for the most talked-about food event of the year. Yes Chef Food Fest 2025 presented by Wonder, is back and set to take over Brooklyn on Friday, June 7 and Saturday, June 8 at an all-new waterfront location for Yes Chef Food Fest in Greenpoint at 25 Noble St, Brooklyn, NY 11222. This year, the festival expands to an epic 40,000-square-foot venue, welcoming over 10,000 food lovers for an immersive, high-energy weekend of food, entertainment, and viral moments.

After last year’s sold-out success—drawing over 6,000 attendees and generating 250 million+ media impressions—Yes Chef Food Fest is leveling up with 30+ of New York City’s hottest restaurants, exclusive dishes you won’t find anywhere else, and show-stopping culinary experiences that take food festivals to a whole new level. And unlike traditional festivals, every participating restaurant keeps 100% of their profits, making it not only an unforgettable experience for guests, but a meaningful platform for the city’s top culinary talent to shine and grow and build community.

Yes Chef Food Fest is the brainchild of Jack Goldburg and Liam Henning, the creative forces behind Jack’s Dining Room—one of the internet’s most watched and influential food creators, amassing over 4 million followers and 4 billion views worldwide in just two years. Known for their high-energy storytelling and best-in-class food experiences, Jack and Liam have traveled the world in search of the most mind-blowing culinary experiences, bringing them to life for their audience in ways that blend entertainment, education, and pure culinary spectacle. Now, they’ve set their sights on completely reinventing the modern food festival—giving the public direct access to the kind of rare, high-end, and exclusive food experiences that were once out of reach.

To expand the festival’s impact, Jake Nussbaum, the producer behind the Palm Tree Music Festival – Hamptons, the h.wood group Super Bowl parties, and countless A-list other culturally relevant events, has joined as a partner, bringing extensive expertise in event production and hospitality. With Jake’s experience, Yes Chef Food Fest is taking the festival game up a notch—delivering next-level hospitality, groundbreaking food experiences, and high-impact culinary storytelling that’s never been done before.

Yes Chef Food Fest welcomes Wonder as the official title sponsor of this year’s event. As the future of food delivery and a new way to order, Wonder is redefining the culinary experience — and they’re bringing that innovation directly to the festival. Festival-goers will be greeted by the Wonder team upon arrival with a surprise gift.
