-Marina del Rey, Calif.
-Feast Fest late Wednesday released its 2016 schedule of exhibitions to precede Feast Fest XXII in Marina del Rey, Calif., from Nov. 23-27, 2016, with the actual event taking place on Thanksgiving Day, Thurs., Nov. 24, 2016.
The 2016 offseason will suddenly be a much busier one for Feast Fest chefs, as it will jump from having nine exhibitions to eleven, the highest number ever, in order to accommodate a growing number of venues jockeying for the prestige of holding one of the event's exhibitions.
We already knew before this full schedule was released Wednesday that the Edelyn Cooking Arena in Punta Gorda, Fla., which has played host to more Feast Fest exhibitions--16 in all--than any other venue, would again host two exhibitions in 2016, one on February 13 and another on November 13, a mere eleven days prior to Feast Fest.
Other highlights include the continuation of a season-opening exhibition at The Dining Room in Yosemite Village, Calif., and the increased presence of Assistant Head Sous-Chef Joe Pasik's European restaurant Nø in Boston's Back Bay on the exhibition schedule, in spite of loudly whispered rumors here in the week following Feast Fest that Pasik may be planning to retire from the event after twelve years, which has left many wondering if Pasik's 67-point performance last Thursday is the last Feast Fest will have seen of him. Neither Pasik nor Feast Fest officials commented on the continued existence of Nø on the exhibition schedule. Should Pasik retire, the Nø exhibition would be the first ever at the restaurant of a former Feast Fest chefs.
In all, four Feast Fest chefs, Pasik included, pledged Wednesday to rent their restaurants out for 2016 offseason exhibitions. Lynn Avi's Lower Manhattan restaurant LaLa, which has hosted four exhibitions, will be taking a break from the exhibition circuit this year; but, on the flip side, Lisa Choi's Dallas eatery Nana will receive its first ever Feast Fest exhibition. Jim McAllister's Long Beach bistro Notes also remains on the exhibition schedule, as does an exhibition in Japan; an exhibition held in Switzerland last year, however, has been scrapped in favor of another exhibition Stateside.
