Featuring Chefs Victor Vasconcellos of Berimbau Brazilian Table and Aneesa Waheed of Tara Kitchen
The 2026 FIFA World Cup makes its New York/New Jersey debut at MetLife Stadium with a high-stakes showdown between Brazil and Morocco. To celebrate this inaugural local match, we’re hosting a cross-cultural culinary kickoff featuring a collaboration between New York City chefs Victor Vasconcellos of Berimbau Brazilian Table and Aneesa Waheed of Tara Kitchen. This family-style feast blends the vibrant roots and modern flair of Brazilian cuisine with Morocco’s layered history of trade and spice. While no winner will be crowned on the plate, this evening is set to be a perfectly paired match-up of global flavors. Join us for a festive, communal celebration of both cultures—complete with plenty of Caipirinhas—to toast the beautiful game with a one-night-only collaboration dinner.
This one-night-only dinner will feature a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvre upon arrival, an expertly crafted multi-course menu with thoughtfully curated wine or beverage pairings, and a Q&A with the featured chefs.
