Introducing the fifth season of The Lineup — a dinner series showcasing New York City’s unsung culinary heroes: the people working on the line at the top restaurants in the city. We’re thrilled to return to Food52's stunning offices in the Brooklyn Navy Yard for an unforgettable season of exclusive, one-night-only pop-up restaurants.

Meet Christian Czernicki, Chef de Cuisine at Union Square Cafe, blending Italian techniques with Korean and Southeast Asian flavors. Sara Pagan, Executive Sous Chef at Agi's Counter, will charm you with a playful, all-vegetarian menu inspired by chain restaurant classics. Finally, Josh Buckmire, Executive Sous Chef at Sofreh, draws from his Grenadian roots to offer a fresh take on Caribbean cuisine, subtly influenced by his years cooking Persian food.

Secure your seat now and savor these extraordinary menus crafted by some of the city’s finest talents!

                This is such a unique and wonderful NYC experience. The food was fabulous, and the space was gorgeous. Everyone was so nice and welcoming to us, and it's so fun to get to know an up-and-coming chef. I can't recommend it enough!

                Really incredible experience and atmosphere. The food was excellent (and such a fun concept to give these incredible rising chefs the opportunity to showcase their work!) and beyond that the whole thing was so well curated. You start walking through the kitchen which is cool to see, it's on the waterfront which is beautiful, there's a cocktail hour, and during the dinner portion you sit at larger tables so get to meet some new folks if that's your thing. We really loved it and plan to go again when they release the next tranche.
