"Located at 225 Liberty Street (at West Street), this venue will host The Chef Conference on May 18–19 with the full lineup and ticket prices to be announced April 16. The two-day Sunday–Monday event is geared toward restaurants, bars, chefs, and their fans: the first day will feature deep dives on the business of running a restaurant, while the second day showcases talks and panel discussions moderated by industry figures, and tickets at various price points (one- or two-day and tiered events) include access to drinks and dinners from local and visiting chefs. The New York edition aligns with the 50th anniversary of the school, founded as Peter Kump’s New York Cooking School, and brings headliners including Heston Blumenthal, Wylie Dufresne, Danny Meyer, Kwame Onwuachi, Chintan Pandya, Eric Ripert, Missy Robbins, Eater editor-in-chief Stephanie Wu, and Top Chef judge Gail Simmons. Blumenthal will participate in a “Trailblazer Talk” with New York Times reporter Kim Severson and will appear on a food-science panel with Harold McGee, Arielle Johnson (co-founder of Noma’s fermentation lab in Copenhagen), and Wylie Dufresne.
