Team Meatopia wishes to thank all of our friends, chef partners, guests, sponsors, and our hosts at Governors Island for a fantastic day of fun, meat, music, and beer.

We hope to see everybody back next year, for an even bigger, better, more ambitious event, and the plans are already being laid to make sure that happens.

Thanks for coming out for the inagural Meatopia — the first of many in the years to come.

What is Meatopia?

“30 Chefs and BBQ teams. Barbecuing.  For one unforgettable summer day.”

The inaugural Meatopia event, co-hosted by James Beard Award winning food writer Josh Ozersky along with Taste of Tribeca Co-Chair and Good Beer Month Founder, Jimmy Carbone and master pit master Robbie Richter of Fatty ‘Cue, will feature a select group of 30 top chefs and BBQ teams barbecuing local and sustainable meats for one unforgettable summer day.

As the pinnacle event in Mayor Bloomberg’s “July Good Beer Month”, Meatopia: BBQ NYC is a food festival focusing and supporting the local community with walk-around tastings, beer and live entertainment.

In the spirit of sustainability we ask that all participating chefs consider using meat from animals that have been raised responsibly and humanely. Many chefs are pairing with a local farm to use products from regional farms.
