RARE Steak Championship New York

Get Ready, New York!

DiningOut is bringing its signature steak showdown to Brooklyn the only way we know how: loud, indulgent, and unforgettable.

RARE Steak Championship is a high-energy tasting festival where the city’s top culinary firepower collide for one massive night of premium steak, craft cocktails, live entertainment, and full-throttle celebration.

More than 25 of New York’s most celebrated chefs and restaurants will fire up the grills and battle for steak supremacy across two categories:
Traditional Steak
Creative Steak

Featuring elite cuts from Buckhead Meat and Seafood — including Certified Angus Beef®, American Wagyu, and Australian Wagyu — every chef brings their boldest flavors, sharpest techniques, and most over-the-top creations to the table.

And the best part?
You decide who wins.

Every guest gets a vote in the coveted People’s Choice competition, helping crown the 2026 RARE Steak Champion.

Beyond the tasting experience, expect:
multiple DJ stages,
immersive activations,
surprise experiences,
premium cocktails,
and nonstop energy throughout the night.

Set against the industrial backdrop and electric atmosphere of Industry City, RARE is more than a food festival — it’s a full-sensory feast for carnivores, cocktail lovers, and nightlife seekers alike.

Capacity is extremely limited. Secure your tickets now before this one sells out.
