(Courtesy of Fleishigs Magazine) On May 30, KosherPaloozza will take the Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus, New Jersey by storm for an all-day festival of feasting, entertainment and mingling with the pros.
KosherPaloozza is back for the second year after a sold-out event with over 4,000 attendees last year. Participants will be able to explore every corner of the innovative and ever expanding kosher universe. Attendees (and their appetites) are invited to a massive celebration of all things kosher with hundreds of food brands, cookbook authors, influencers and experts, all under one roof.
KosherPaloozza, the first-of-its-kind festival for foodies, will be hosted by Fleishigs Magazine and Powwow Events, and take place from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.. Tickets are on sale now at www.kosherpalooza.com.
The extravaganza will be packed with events like “Chopped”-style cooking competitions, cooking and mixology demonstrations, wine tasting classes, exclusive book signings with renowned cookbook authors, and informative panel discussions. Visitors are also welcome to hobnob with some of the top kosher creatives and influencers from across the globe. In addition, it wouldn’t be KosherPaloozza without bites and sips from a wide range of exhibitors from restaurants and visionary startups to classic brands.
Among the exhibitors are more than 100 booths including: Tnuva, Bethel Creamery, Royal Wine Corp., Eden Foods, Flavor on Board, Loosiez, 7th Heaven, The Nuttery, Natural & Kosher, kosher.com, Tuscanini, Heaven & Earth, Yummy foods, Pelleh Poultry, Mehadrin, Liebers, Reisman’s, Haus of Babka, Cinko, Recanati Kravy and so much more.
The lineup will include noted kosher cookbook authors and influencers Miriam Pascal Cohen, Melinda Strauss, Isaac Bernstein, Gad Elbaz (aka Chef Gaston), Ahuva Gottdiener, Micah Siva, Sol Dining and more, who will all be cooking up a storm. The “Chopped”-style contest will feature chefs and influencers competing and judging. Headliners including Chanie Apfelbaum, Elan Kornblum, Gabriel Geller, Sarah Lasry and Dani Klein will all host and toast, and there will be games like blind taste tests, hot sauce contests, and wine glass challenges. There will also be a panel of experts offering wine tastings, mixology demos and the “People’s Choice” for best new product. Attendees will also hear from leading organizations including the Orthodox Union (OU) and Masbia.
Attendance is limited to those 16 and up and those age 16-20 will receive a “no alcohol” wristband. Children under 2 may join parents in strollers.
