11th annual event to feature 18 extraordinary celebrity chefs and 50+ active NFL stars for premium pre-game VIP tailgate experience on Super Bowl Sunday

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bullseye Event Group today announced the full roster of world-renowned chefs for the 2025 Players Tailgate, headlined by Marcus Samuelsson, Marc Murphy and Aaron May. The 11th annual VIP event will take place on Super Bowl Sunday, February 9, 2025, at 1540 Canal Street in New Orleans – just five blocks from the Caesars Superdome. Doors open that day at 1:00pm CT.

"We're hosting an experience worthy of one of the nation's top culinary cities. The 2025 Players Tailgate will, for the first time in our 11-year history, feature three host chefs," said Kyle Kinnett, CEO of Bullseye Event Group. "I'm confident that Marcus, Marc and Aaron will set the tone for an unforgettable pre-game celebration."

"This will be a must-attend event for both football fans and food lovers alike. New Orleans is known for its rich cuisine and culinary diversity, I guarantee the menu we're prepping together will match the Superdome energy," said Samuelsson.

Bullseye's Culinary Director Aaron May has been involved in The Players Tailgate since 2014, and has assembled an all-star roster that includes Food Network champions, James Beard Award Winners and Michelin star chefs. The complete culinary lineup for New Orleans features Aarti Sequeira, Alon Shaya, Burt Bakman, Catherine McCord, Damaris Phillips, Eric Greenspan, Esther Choi, Gerald Sombright, Ilan Hall, Josh Capon, Kate Williams, Kelsey Murphy, Ken Oringer, Lea Cohen and Leonard Botello creating unique menus, preparing food and serving guests.

"We traveled the country to assemble the who's-who of restaurant royalty befitting of a pre-game spread for the biggest game of the year," said May. "The best part: You don't need a Super Bowl ticket to attend the most memorable tailgate in New Orleans – just your appetite."

Marcus Samuelsson is an award-winning chef, restaurateur and author known for his innovative approach to global cuisine. He is the youngest chef to receive a three-star review from The New York Times and has won multiple James Beard Awards. Samuelsson is also a well-known TV personality, appearing on shows like Top Chef Masters and Chopped, and is an advocate for food equity and culinary diversity in the world.

"I got my first taste of the Players Tailgate when the Super Bowl came to New York in 2014, and I can't wait to return as a host chef for another season," said Samuelsson. "This will be a must-attend event for both football fans and food lovers alike. New Orleans is known for its rich cuisine and culinary diversity, I guarantee the menu we're prepping together will match the Superdome energy."

Marc Murphy is also a familiar face at The Players Tailgate, first joining the roster for Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. In addition to being an award-winning restaurateur, he is a judge on The Food Network's highest-rated hit shows including Chopped, Guy's Grocery Games, Beat Bobby Flay and many more.

Murphy adds, "New Orleans is the perfect backdrop for the 2025 Players Tailgate, and I can't wait to join Marcus and Aaron as a host chef this year. The city's food scene is influenced by French and Spanish roots, and I am excited to create a menu for football fans that draws on both cultures."

Sage Steele will also return as on-stage emcee, as will DJ Irie as the official DJ. More than 50 active NFL players will headline this all-inclusive VIP tailgating red carpet experience complete with deluxe cabanas, huge LED screens, gourmet food and top-shelf drinks. The Players Tailgate is recognized annually as the top event to attend on Super Bowl Sunday, and the New Orleans edition will once again be unmatched.

In addition to The Players Tailgate, Bullseye Event Group's Travel Packages for Super Bowl LIX offer fans the chance to cross this crown jewel event off of their sports' bucket list, without handling any of the logistics. A VIP experience throughout Super Bowl weekend in New Orleans includes some of the most luxurious hotels in the city, including The Saint Hotel, Sheraton New Orleans, Troubadour Hotel, Higgins Hotel and the Jung Hotel – which overlooks the Players Tailgate on Canal Street.

Travel packages also include entrance into a Friday, February 7, Official NFL Alumni Welcome Reception featuring food, a premium open bar and a live DJ, a ticket to Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome and entrance into The Players Tailgate.
