Help Spoonfuls finish 2026 with a strong food recovery game at Ultimate Tailgate! Inspired by the beloved pre-game and pre-concert ritual of gathering with loved ones over our favorite foods, Spoonfuls’ Ultimate Tailgate brings our community together to enjoy Tailgate-inspired bites from 25+ acclaimed Greater Boston chefs and restaurants while rallying support for a common cause: Fighting wasted food and hunger.
Tailgate is a foodie fundraiser like no other. With returning fan-favorites like Dumpling Daughter and Shy Bird, plus a stacked VIP experience with newly opened all-stars, like Dalia and Zebra Room, it’s sure to be an unforgettable night. Check out our full roster below.
Experience Tailgate like a champion as a VIP ticketholder. Be first through the doors with early, separate entry to enjoy exclusive menu items, including those from restaurants brand new to Tailgate, like Temple Sushi.
Don’t miss the chance to taste test a caviar bump on any and every dish – even the fried bites – for a flavorful delight, courtesy of Wulf’s Fish’s Roaming Caviar. Then, when you’ve fully indulged in VIP, get a head start exploring the General Admission area before other guests arrive. Ready to treat yourself? Purchase discounted Early Bird VIP tickets now!
TJ the DJ, former Fenway Park DJ, will set the tone for the Tailgate soundtrack, starting the night off with tunes as you take your first bites. And back after high demand last year, The KR Show will return to help us send Tailgate out on a high note with live music.
