“We are excited to announce the line-up for the first-ever Eat Your Feed Fest,” said Chris Schonberger, GM of First We Feast. “When Tasty and First We Feast started building this festival, we set our goal on delivering an immersive two-day experience that allowed both brands to bring their most coveted shows to life. First We Feast is bringing its slate of shows, our high-energy hosts and chefs along with a highly curated selection of different culinary perspectives that highlight the diversity of the Los Angeles County food spectrum to Long Beach, CA. We are breaking phone screens and pulling our audience into our food universe for what will surely be a memorable and filling experience.” EYFF will not only be a place to sample the unique flavors of the local Los Angeles and Long Beach area, but a platform for innovative culinary creators to connect with new audiences. First We Feast and Tasty are inviting the next generation of chefs to participate in the festival through exclusive menu items with local restaurant partners, live taste tests, and live cooking challenges. “The festival will be packed with the best, most innovative food talent all weekend long,” said Hannah Bricker, GM of Tasty and Lifestyle Brands. “We’re thrilled that fans will have an opportunity to not only meet some of the beloved hosts from First We Feast, like Sean Evans and Tasty creator Twaydabae but also discover the emerging creators we’ve invited to share their unique culinary POVs.” When fans arrive at EYFF, they’ll be treated to a curated line-up of 25 diverse, local Long Beach and Los Angeles food vendors serving beloved menu items from their establishments, plus exclusive menu items only available at the festival. Each vendor has been hand-picked by First We Feast and Tasty, with the help of food culture agency Care of Chan. The full line-up features fan favorites and fresh, new flavors including:
