Meet, Greet and Eat with Your Favorite Chefs at the New York City Wine & Food Festival

Though summer's just begun, it's not too soon to start planning an autumn getaway — especially when the promise of your favorite chefs is right before you. For the eighth year in a row, the most-famed names in the culinary world are set to come together for a weekend-long celebration of all things food and drink at the Food Network & Cooking Channel New York City Wine & Food Festival. This year more than 500 chefs will be in attendance at nearly 100 events, kicking off in Manhattan on Thursday, October 15.

From the now-infamous battle of beef at the annual Burger Bash presented by Pat LaFrieda Meats and hosted by Rachael Ray to Giada De Laurentiis' Italian Feast, presented by Ronzoni, and Geoffrey Zakarian's Saturday morning brunch, you're invited to join these chefs and others for walk-around tastings, intimate seated dinners, late-night bashes and wake-up-worthy brunches alike.

General  ticket sales are open, so now's your chance to  snag a few before the hot-item parties sell out. And with each ticket you buy, you'll be helping to fight hunger, a worthy cause; all net proceeds will go toward the Food Bank for New York City and the No Kid Hungry campaign.

If you can't make it to the Big Apple to take part in the celebrations firsthand, you're in luck: FN Dish will be on hand throughout the weekend, bringing you insider coverage of the marquee events, including snapshots of the best bites and sips, plus interviews with Food Network chefs.
