More...The Experience
Join Chef JJ Johnson on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at Inside Park for The Cookout — an immersive, open-air food and cultural experience that celebrates the vibrant legacy of Black culinary innovation, community, and music. VIP entry begins at 2:00 PM. Guests will enjoy an afternoon of bold, soulful dishes crafted by Chef JJ and a curated lineup of rising chefs shaping the future of flavor. Between tastings, groove to live sets from legendary DJs Rev Run, D-Nice, and Kid Capri, and take in conversations hosted by Angela Yee that spotlight the stories, traditions, and inspirations behind the food. Inspired by the energy of a backyard cookout and the spirit of togetherness, The Cookout transforms one of NYC's most beautiful outdoor spaces into a celebration of heritage, creativity, and community — where food, music, and storytelling come together in one unforgettable experience.
