Taste Asia - Asian Food Fest!

MORE INFO HERE! 

The largest and most diverse Asian Food Festival in North America, coming June 26, 27 & 28—is a celebration of the deep culinary arts of Asian and Asian-inspired cuisine.

Set in Times Square, Taste Asia is New York’s premier outdoor food festival—and more. Taste Asia chefs, including master chefs from around the world and some of New York’s finest, will showcase their abilities using Taste Asia’s trademark fully equipped outdoor kitchens—wowing the crowd and live television viewers. They will focus on ingredients and recipes that span across Asian countries and cultures.

A host of Asian and Asian-inspired restaurants will be onsite to provide tastings, and a live stage featuring Asian cultural performances will round out the experience. The resulting celebration of Asian cuisine serves as a bridge connecting not only those countries, but also East and West, through the love of food and culture.

Taste Asia is the largest Asian food festival in North America and the only live-cooking event at Times Square. The Taste Asia 2015 includes a Best Asian NYC Restaurants Contest (June 1-20), a two-day food festival (June 26-27), a day of Asian and Asian-inspired cooking and cultural performances (June 26), the grand finals of the 7th International Chinese Culinary Competition (June 27), and two affiliated Taste Asia banquets at James Beard House (June 28).
