Foodies, we may still be several weeks away from the ChainFEST NYC event, but it’s never too early for updates, especially when they are this good and cheesy! 

The chain restaurant Red Lobster just announced that it will be making its debut at the ChainFEST NYC this fall on Saturday, Sept. 21, at Randall’s Island Park. If you were already thinking about buying tickets to this foodie event, this pretty much seals the deal. Not to mention, this is the first time that ChainFEST takes place in New York, so you know it’s going to be special. And if you weren't considering going, are you even a true foodie?

Red Lobster has not yet announced its full event-exclusive menu item, but the brand did share that it will bring with it its delicious Cheddar Bay Biscuits. VIP ticket holders will be able to enjoy these exclusive cheesy bites, which will only be available for a limited time. The chain restaurant will also have interactive photo opportunities for guests to participate in. 

For those not in the know, ChainFEST is a festival that celebrates the biggest, most popular chain restaurants. At the event, your favorite restaurants will gather to unveil new menu items that are in the works, have plenty of iconic favorites for you to enjoy, and so much more. My favorite thing about ChainFEST is getting to be one of the first people to sample some of these new meals!

In addition to Red Lobster, chain restaurants that will also participate include KFC, Panda Express, Red Robin (debuting a new, spicy gourmet burger), Krispy Kreme (offering a sweet twist on its Original Glazed doughnuts), Portillo’s, and many more. A limited amount of tickets will be available starting this Friday, Aug. 9. Be sure to register online HERE ahead of the ticket sale launch. There is a Cash App Card presale that begins on Thursday, Aug. 8, at 10 a.m. ET if you want to be sure you don’t miss out on tickets. Otherwise, regular ticket sales will be available on Aug. 9 starting at 10 a.m. ET. Ticket prices start at $99.99.
