Brooklyn takes a Super Bowl bite with the Taste of the NFL
It was a gorgeous morning in front of Brooklyn Borough Hall when NFL representatives, world-renowned chefs and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz came together to announce Brooklyn as the host city for the 23rd annual Taste of the NFL, the “Party with a Purpose.”
On the Saturday night before the 2014 Super Bowl, which will be held at the Meadowlands, 35 of the country’s best chefs will join with NFL players and legends in one grand location – this year, Pier 12 of the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook — for the event, which has been held since 1992 to aid hunger relief efforts.
Founded by Minneapolis restaurateur Wayne Kostroski, who attended the June 19 announcement in downtown Brooklyn, the Taste of the NFL is a non-profit organization that raises awareness and provides relief for hunger-stricken people throughout the United States over the course of the year.
