Latke Festival @Brooklyn Museum

by

Each year, the Latke Festival is ready to celebrate some of the best tasting potato pancakes that  you will ever come across! This event is one of New York City’s most unique and delicious holiday tasting events, the Latke Festival is a charity event benefiting The Sylvia Center and organized by Great Performances Catering. This one-night affair celebrates the best and most creative potato pancakes in our city. For its fourth year in a row, the 11th Annual Latke Festival will be held at the stunning Brooklyn Museum and is already on track to be our biggest celebration of latkes yet.

Enjoy a panel of celebrity judges on December 16th to ring in the holidays, enjoy amazing food and drink, dance to our live DJ and vote for the Best Latke of all!

 

 Great Performance , has partnered with the Jewish Food Society to launch a latke recipe contest for home cooks.  The winning recipe, as determined by the good folks at the society, will be made by Great Performances for presentation at the Latke Festival.    The public is invited to submit their recipes – be they old school traditional or a modern creative take on the classic potato pancake – here.  In addition to being served at festival,  the winning recipe will become a part f the Jewish Food Society’s online recipe archive.  The winner will be chosen by  Nov. 26.

This is a Latke Festival first, adding a new dimension to the event which is one of the most eagerly anticipated on the city’s annual Holiday Season calendar and was prompted by the fact that every year “civilians” (a.k.a. non=professional cooks)  get in touch with Great Performances  about their great latke recipes and ask about participating.  However, unless they had access to a professional NYC Health Dept. inspected kitchen they could not qualify to be part of the event.  The contest, the brainchild of Great Performances founder and CEO Liz Neumark and Naama Shefi, the executive director of the Jewish Food Society, gives everyone with a favorite latke recipe the chance to have it sampled by the 700-plus people who attend the event.
