Eric and Bruce Bromberg are the restaurateurs behind the Blue Ribbon Brasserie and Blue Ribbon Sushi. These are iconic New York City restaurants, celebrating more than 30 years. Since opening their original Sullivan Street location in the early 1990s, the brothers have defined late-night dining, drawing an after-hours crowd of chefs, musicians, and celebrities.

When Blue Ribbon opened in 1992 it quickly became the gold standard for post-shift dinners, where regulars like Anthony Bourdain, Daniel Boulud, and Bobby Flay dined together in the original late-night New York City chef hangout.

Manish Vora is the CEO and co-founder of the Museum of Ice Cream. He is known by his employees as “Flavor Flav” and he has built a global brand that welcomes more than 2 million visitors annually to its sprinkle-fueled worlds in the United States and Asia.

A Yale graduate, Manish left his cushy Wall Street job to build life-size pools of sprinkles and unite people of all ages through ice cream. He has coined the term “experiums” to describe the immersive, multi-sensory experiences that the museum creates: spaces designed to spark imagination, play, and connection. After facing near bankruptcy during the pandemic, the museum began to thrive after doubling down on joy and human connection.

Jason Hammel never set out to be a chef. With an English degree and dreams of becoming a writer, he went to Italy in 1994, staying across from the city’s central market. Today, Hammel is the Executive Chef and Owner of Lula Cafe, a Chicago institution in Logan Square that has been doing farm-to-table since 1999.

Hammel’s influence extends far beyond the kitchen. He’s the Culinary Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s restaurant, Marisol. Jason is also the co-founder of Pilot Light, a non-profit bringing food education to over 10,000 students. His restaurants have earned praise from The New York Times, Michelin’s Bib Gourmand, and in 2024 Lula Cafe received the James Beard Award for Outstanding Hospitality.

Hammel uses food as a vehicle for community, creativity, and education. He’s a chef who thinks like a writer, and that perspective shapes everything he does.
