About us
Q: What's hotter than an orange flame (FOODGASM logo)?
A: A BLUE flame (EUPHORIA logo)
The same rules as FOODGASM apply, except this group is MAX 6 PPL and some Prepaid Events.
EUPHORIA - will be for smaller groups (6 or fewer), incl some Prepaid Events
FOODGASM - will be for larger groups (7 or more)
AGAPE - will be for faith/charity fundraisers
@i8NYC presents: EUPHORIA is our newest dining group where we meticulously curate harder to book reservations with no more than 8 members per dinner, plus Exclusive Perks and Discounts, VIP Events for Loyal Members! Some places do not allow for larger groups so these dinners will be smaller in scale which means your attendance counts that much more! Warning: OUR DINNERS FILL UP FAST!!! If you like explore new cuisines together with like minded food enthusiasts in a smaller group, look no further! We also rebirthed @i8NYC presents: FOODGASM where we used to go out EVERY NIGHT. You will come to find out that we are the most active group with the BEST places. We also started a new chapter with @i8NYC presents: AGAPE where if you love to serve others, you're in the right place! Heck, join all 3!

We are heading to JBF Platform! Collab Dinner: World Cup Match-Up: Mexico 🇲🇽 vs. Korea 🇰🇷. James Beard Award Nominee® Carnitas Ramirez Takes on Michelin-Starred Nōksu
Carnitas/Taqueria Ramirez always shines bright at NYCWFF! Experience a collision of culinary worlds where New York street food culture meets underground fine dining, as Mexican chef Giovanni Cervantes of Carnitas Ramirez and chef Aaron Chang of the Michelin-starred Nōksu (representing South Korea) face off in the kitchen.
Nōksu is the sleek tasting counter hidden inside NYC’s Herald Square subway station whose pristine, modern Korean menus have been celebrated by Eater, The Infatuation, and The New York Times. For this special partnership, chef Chang brings his refined technique to meet chef Cervantes, the 2026 James Beard Award nominee® for Best Chef: New York State behind beloved East Village taco temple Carnitas Ramirez. Moving away from the meat-centric dishes that put him on the map, Cervantes will showcase an exclusive first look at his team's highly anticipated, seafood-forward concept debuting in the West Village this year. Expect a boundary-pushing, seasonal menu that marries high-end Korean artistry with coastal Mexican inspiration—a unique snapshot of two talented chefs collaborating on a singular menu.NOKSU (ONE MICHELIN STAR ⭐️)
