2026 SCHEDULE
MAIN STAGE
Sell Smart or Sell Out: The Brand Deal Talk With Bank of America
Ana Sofía Fehn, How Kev Eats, Jenn Eats Goood, Oliviatied, S Johnson Voiceovers
The Shift of Influence: Audience in Charge
Followers are a number. A community is immeasurable. These creators are growing by showing up where their communities are — Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Substack, blogs — and by treating the audience as a collaborator instead of a metric. Let’s hear from those who have listened, learned and experimented along the way – letting relationships, NOT algorithms, dictate success.
Jenn Leuke, Bobby Pombo, There’s Food at Home, Carmen in the Garden & Burrata Babe
Gut Check: FoodieCon Edition
FoodieCon’s first-ever Fear Factor–style throwdown: creators face escalating rounds of the weird, the wtf, and the “wait, is that still moving?” — let’s just say, NOTHING is off the table. This is the ultimate test to see who can ‘stomach’ anything that comes their way…
Moderated by Nigel Ng (Uncle Roger)
Savoury Girll, How Kev Eats, Oliviatied, S Johnson Voiceovers, Stephvnie Tea
Second Course: Careers We Left Behind
Before the followers and the cookbook deals, these creators had entirely different careers — and none of them planned this one. Some left those lives behind, some are still living them, and all of them brought something with them. A conversation about the leap, the imposter syndrome, and how their former path helped shape this one.
Crust by Carson, Carmen in the Garden, Healthyish Foods, Marco’s World
Cheap Sweep: Ballin’ on a Bodega Budget
We build a mini bodega right on stage — shelves stocked, everything priced out — and turn creators loose in teams of 2 with $20 to blow. No stove, no do-overs, no mercy: just cold assembly and whatever twenty bucks actually buys. Sandwich, snack plate, glorious pile of chaos — the goal is to build the most impressive dish on the smallest budget. Shop fast, build faster, and prove you've got the ultimate "Best $20 in the City."

CREATORS’ CORNER
Family Style
These creators turned their families into co-stars and their heritage into content: cooking with the people who raised them (and the ones they're raising now), mining their own cultures, and shining a light on the ones that don't get enough screen time. A conversation about food as inheritance.
Led by: Bobby Pombo with Savoury Girll & Stephvnie Tea
Cover Story: The Cookbook Chronicles
From feed to shelf — the messy, thrilling, years-long road to a debut cookbook. Signings, self-doubt, and what it takes to translate short-form magic into 200+ pages.
Led by: Jenn Eats Goood with Healthyish Foods & Oliviatied
