EEEEEATSCON is a food experience built in the spirit of a music festival, but with restaurants as the headliners. Created by The Infatuation, EEEEEATSCON originated in Santa Monica in 2017 and most recently launched in New York City for the first time in the Fall of 2018. The event is designed for people who want more from a food festival than just tasting-sized portions and cooking demonstrations. With live music performances throughout the day and panels from thought leaders and industry pioneers, EEEEEATSCON is as much about connecting with a community and getting inspired as it is about eating and being entertained.

"When we started EEEEEATSCON our vision was to create a festival for our community unlike anything that previously existed," said Chris Stang, Co-Founder and CEO of The Infatuation. "The event's success these past two years has given us the opportunity to expand this year's festival to two days and share it with an even larger community than ever before here in Los Angeles."

Other brand partners for EEEEEATSCON LA 2019 include: Postmates, The Palms Resort and Casino, TWIX^®, TABASCO^® Sauce, and Lyft.
