Speaker 1 (00:00):
Every year when it's time for our vacation, we know
that New York City Wine and Food Festival is coming
to town. Yes, Lee Schreeger is the mastermind behind of
course New York City Wine and Food Festival, and of
course South Beach Wine and Food Festival, Miami Beach Beach South. Hey, Lee,
Lee Schreger's here, and you're looking marvelous.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
All right.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
We're trying to stay as positive as possible because when
you walk in, you turn into like the wicked witch
of the of the the West.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
I must say that I woke up this morning. I
live a few blocks from here. I walked over. I
was so excited that my favorite bakery Mama was going
to be because I knew they were sending over food.
I asked him to send over one of their great spreads.
I picked everything I got here. It looked like a
bunch of raccoons had been here.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
The only thing unscathed was a vegan cake, and only
because it was cellophane wrapped.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
And this is the laziest crew.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
They didn't want to take off of that.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Would you like this chocolate chip cookie?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
I mean they created that ten year confetti cookie year
anniversary and I'm like, I cannot wait to have it.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
It was so good. May I tell you how delicious
that cookie? You may not, wow, you absolutely may not.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
This is, first of all, as if it's not the
most pathetic green room.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
There's not even a water in this place. I mean,
really it is. I mean, does Taylor Swift sit in
that same room? Yes? She does.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Do you have water for her? Absolutely? Okay, I mean
there was no water. Then I came.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Here thirty minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
I have been here thirty minutes. There was not a
cookie left. There was not a chocolate your cooking. I'm
not taking a secondhand cookie.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
It's wrapped up. By the way, that confetti cookie was
life changing. You can't get home to Sheldon, But.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Mamont went out of their way. They didn't even know
who the show was. I said, you know, my dear
friends Elvis, who is that? I said, they didn't know you,
And I said, I think it's good for you. I said,
I think it's good not that they need your help.
Clearly they don't know who you are, and they've survived
about you.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
I said, but you know, send over some.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Things to the al this morning show. Maybe they'll talk
about it. If the food is good.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
So I mean they know you were all the food.
Did you even did you thank them? You like a
little bitch. I just say I love We had Andy Drammer,
who's like the most positive human being of all time,
makes everyone laugh.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
And then here comes Leete I don't know the worst
I don't know in the room at eight o'clock in
the morning, talking about you know, what would your father
say to So this is not going to be good.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Following him with Danielle. You know what, Lee, it's always
a pleasure to have you here. Nice to be here too.
By the way, when I when I show up in
the green room, they have water for me, I'm sure
they do.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
No, really, I have to say, as if I didn't
think the view green room was tired enough, this really
puts a new low to Rachel Ray's green room.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
She Darcruderie. Oh no, Rachel Ray has the best green Remember,
I mean the chefs bring out all sorts of things.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
He had to do. Have a point though, we probably
should have something in there.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Get a sponsored you have a coffee card over there, Delongey.
Thank you, there's no warn there's no coffee, Delongey. I
want to tell you if you think you're getting anything
out of that coffee card shoved into a corner.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Are they giving you money?

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Give that money to the South Beach in New York City,
winding food belt.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
We're going to promote the hell out of it.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
There is no then, not even if I was you,
I would insist at every host come, every guest gets
a cup of delongey coffee.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
No, it's sitting in the corner with old well.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Like uhdel to be honest, please, Andy Grammer.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Had some, he didn't.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
We didn't serve you. And because you're not a guest,
you're like I understand family, You're not a guest. You're
not a guest. First of all, we'll start treating you
like a guest if that's really what you want.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
He's more like a critic.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
I'm not here for no, I need a coffee. Can
we talk about your stupid wine and food testing pot?

Speaker 2 (03:55):
And I also I want to tell you that I
went to Has anyone been to Vodor?

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yes? Yes? Was there last night? Absolutely? And I went
the other night to the Corner Store. How was corner Store?
Haven't been yet? Fantastic? Yeah? Worth the hype really really
worth them.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
To take him to Alma.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
What's Alma?

Speaker 3 (04:12):
You have no idea.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's like going to you know.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
It.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
You just go to someone's house and eat. It's that
type of Italian. It's Italian food. It's not like red
sauce Italian well a little bit. It's more Napoleon. But
it's out in the middle of nowhere, and it's out
it's near my farm. It's not in the middle nowher.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
I wouldn't go there, you. I mean, I've never been
invited to the farm, so I'm not going this.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Why would ever invite this to the farm. I've never
been invited to your stupid house in the Hampton. You
met Bobby Flaying there, make him a pang. When you're
at my house the Hampton.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
You wake up in this coffee and there are flagels
from goldbergs from bottom.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Because you don't pay for a thing. Bred Bakery sends
you free stuff all the time. You don't pay for anything.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Oh sorry, Oh my god, leave sorry, just use the
brown word today.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Oh my god? Are we going to get filtered? Or
I pushed them up? Okay, okay, let's just can we
bring this back to neutral because we're not We're not
We're accomplishing nothing understood. You're just over here, just bitching
and moving.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
I know I'm not going to be invited back, of course. Okay,
I'm just going to start.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
I find this is like playing a sporting I feel
like them.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
But I do want to say, when you come to
my house, it's a little different in showing up at
the Elvis Da Rancher. Okay, water when you get out
of your car, Oh no, they kiss me, they make
love to.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Me, Go on my way. Let's let's talk about why
you're here. Do you have a question?

Speaker 4 (05:46):
I just want to know because you name dropped the
corner store earlier, Taylor Swift went there and now no
one could get it. How do we find out the
regular people about a restaurant before the celebrities get there
and no one can get it? How do you find out, like,
where's the intel coming?

Speaker 1 (05:59):
I I didn't know about I don't even know how
I heard about it.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
But how do people find out about it before?

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, if they wanted people like you in here, they
would invite you on fire.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
We're the only cat that hasn't hissed. By the way,
of course, Lee lives in beautiful Miami. In Miami, who
was it that just said Miami is the food capital
of the United Yeah, I just saw that, absolutely, and
I cannot disagree. Streat and you're eating out, you're eating
some of those restaurants. You get right in, I get

(06:33):
right you didn't.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
It's one of the few advantages of doing what I
do on talk shows like this, And you got.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
If they only knew you, they would invite you. But
Lee Schweger, we got to talk about the New York
City Winding Food Festival, because in all sincerity, this is
not only an incredible, incredible, more than a weekend of
food and information and learning and hobnobbing with chefs, but
it's raising money.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
It is raising money, and this year we are raising
money for God's Love. We deliver an amazing charity that
delivers nutritionally balanced meals to tens of thousands of people
each week throughout the five boroughs. It's I love the
work that God's loved long before we went to them
as our charity.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Part. Remember when God's Love we delivered was just a
little hole in the wall. Now they've got a huge,
huge plant in the village. We're actually going up there
to cook or down there to cook I can't wait. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
I don't think you're cooking. I think you're plating up food.
What I think you know, they put the food out
there and you package it. I don't think you're cooking.
All right, Well, you know you're going to do it
what everyone else does. You're not special your package up food.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
I'm going to take care of that. You think you're
getting treated specially, I'll fix that.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
When did you become to mean? Grandmother?

Speaker 2 (07:51):
The weather in Miami has made me cruel, you know,
I can I get that?

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah. Anyway, So the New York City Winding Food Festival
is it's back, all star lineup of events and chefs.
It just if someone's never experienced it, tell them what
they need to come and experience this year.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Well, first of all, we've moved to Brooklyn. It's our
first time in seventeen years. Actually, we started in Brooklyn
seventeen years ago with one event, the Burger Bash that
it was in Dumbo, the Tobacco Factory. It was a
really great setting. But we outgrew it in two years
and we are back in Brooklyn. And I've wanted to
make the move out of Manhattan to Brooklyn because I

(08:29):
wanted everything to be in one campus so you didn't
have to move around from our signature daytime and nighttime
events to one campus. And we found this location that's accessible,
easily accessible. We'll have water taxis going from downtown Brooklyn,
downtown Manhattan to Brooklyn and I have renamed it the
Brooklyn Riviera. You should, yes, you know in Brooklyn talk

(08:51):
about a food scene. Brooklyn's food is it's the time.
I mean some of the best restaurants right under Miami.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
And you have something with Doctor Dray and Snoop, don't you.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Our opening night party is hosted by Doctor Doctor Dre
and Snoop. We have a party hosted by Lake Lively.
We have a party hosted by fifty cent. We have
a party hosted by Neil Patrick Harris and David Burker.
I know your drag Alter ego is going to be there.
Which one page turner.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Oh oh, I mean Clemenia Burns isn't showing up this year.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
We have a great Taco event. You know that great website.
Meet Cutes New York. Oh absolutely, yeah, they're great. They're great.
Uh do you know them? Yeah? So they go up
to people on the street and they say, hey, excuse me,
can you tell me how you metry? No, are you
a couple? And they are going to host our taco
event alone along with our own.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Sanche love them. Yes, there's a really cute old couple
on the other day lot, but.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
They always do and they have all type of couples.
I mean, I love it, and I.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Do you have the VIP girls there? No? I do
not have the VIP girls. You don't know you have
to you know, restaurants don't like them. They do well,
I tell you right now. VIP girls there are friends
of uh well, Mario Carbone. They said awful things about Carbone,
and then we had him on the show, and we
had them on and then now they're doing events with him.

(10:08):
They're all the best friends.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
I like them and I follow them. I thought there
were like two Jewish jaffy girls and I just heard out,
just heard it. Not even Jewish.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
I mean nothing.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
I don't mean that as it's you. I really thought
there were two obnoxious Long Island Jewish girls from Roslin
and then like.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
P gentile girl. You know.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
We'll have you, even Sultan Rosalin Jews from Long Island.
What else we you know, we have a taco and tequila.
We have Alex Carney Shelley doing an Italian event. We
have Michael Simon doing a steak and whiskey event.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Well, you got a dance party with Bobby.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
We have a triple threat. Bobby Flay is back at
the New York City Wine and Food Festival after a hiatus.
He boycotted you guys, we didn't boycott. I don't like
to say that he loves me.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
I don't think so. Yes, of course he is coming
back because he has has a book out that week.
Bobby loves Bobby's on next week? Is he right before?

Speaker 4 (11:09):
All?

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Right?

Speaker 2 (11:10):
But he's doing his triple threat dance party with DJ
Tokyo Rose.

Speaker 1 (11:13):

I know you have this new whip cream product out
there called whip Shots.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
No one even here knows about it. Even more reason
Cardi B. I'm trying to reach you about coming on
to our closing party. I understand you live in Brooklyn
on Sunday the twentieth, to do a quick number or
two or three or but one number would be fine
at our closing party. It's a hip hop party. Rev
Run's performing, and we'll do a whip with that.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
A message to Cardi or just Cardi by just come
out and shoot your criminal. We can do it from
the stage. We'll shoot well like a whip cream after party.
I promise you. I think she would.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
So.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
I don't know how to I don't know how.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
To reach your Cardi B. But if you are listening,
call Elvis and he'll connect.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
You with all. Right, there you go. The call is
out there.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
If anything comes from this bad interview, it's gonna be
Cardi bad.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
If you Cardi B coming in too. The White the
New York City White Offus ins fantastic. It's bad you,
How dare you? One of my favorite one of the
many things I love about New York City one fin
food festival is this milling around and people watching, watching
people taste something and watching their eyes roll back in
their head and understanding that you know this, This city

(12:41):
is just so vibrant as far as the food culture goes,
and to get out there and see all the superstars
not only from around the country but from our city
coming together with their food. Who is that incredible couple
from uptown that does the fried chicken? Oh oh, it's
the best friend to me, Charles Gabriel. Yes, yes, but
that's not a call. Well, you know, I see double.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Charles and Gabriel. It's Charles Gabriel. Just f y I
Charles Gabriel and Harlem has Charles panfried. That's right here exactly.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
It's the best. But it's funny. You thought it was
Charles and Gabriel. It's Charles. Never said that. Well, you
said the couple. I think his wife was there and
they were very sweet.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
He's so negative, but he's doing such wonderful things for people.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
I love to marry this text. Don't take this the
wrong way, but having everyone on the show get roasted
so thoroughly is a refreshing change of pace. Yeah, yeah,
I love you guys like I love ye.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Right.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Well, we're outside, was like, oh my gosh, you look beautiful.
I love your hair. I said, thanks, it's half fake,
I know, can I tell you. I mean literally, I'm
not blind. I mean Helen call Loo could tell that,
you know.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
I mean, I'm only concerned that your boyfriend's gonna wake
up and there's a piece of that hair and he's
gonna pick us a rat, you know. God. So you know,
Anna Navarro is my best friend and I cannot travel
with her anymore because when you travel with Anna, everything
goes off.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
You know, because the hair clips.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, so it's so annoying they have to
touch I mean I would I would die before I
let someone put their hands through my hair.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
But that's what they do at the airport when you
have clips. Yeah, yeah, I don't travel with it. Yeah.
So you heard you heard talking about all the celebrities
who were showing up, and so you need to show
up to and you know what, I can be honest,
I couldn't care less about these celebrities. I love the
food and I love to me the stars of the
show are the people who are serving that food and
the fact that this money goes to God's love. We

(14:40):
deliver and don't forget. The Burger Bash is back the
event that put us. I saw that map and it
says you have these celebrity judges. I haven't heard of
any of these people. I'm so sorry. I haven't heard
of any of it. I don't know your previous guest
on the show, Andy Grammer, who I know. You're an
old white Jewish guy from Miami. You don't know anyone?
Did you say old? Yes? Oh my god, you are mean.

(15:03):
You are sat there and like Mount Etna, spewing hatred
all of me and I and I'm just playing with you.
Oh my god, Oh You're cruel that they have emotional
whiplash from today's show. We had Andy Grammer on. Everyone
was crying. Now Lee's here and they're dying loud. I
have to say. It was eight o'clock in the morning,
and I thought he was depressing. I mean, his music

(15:25):
was pretty, but depressing it all.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
He's the least depressing person I want to know.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
He's talking about sending signs from heaven.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
That's not depressing.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
I thought it was very depressive. You know what, maybe
one day someone will send you a sign from heaven.
Me dead my god, you are mean no, no, no,
they'll send you a sign from heaven. But you're only
hearing from people from hades. I didn't say you were dead.
That's not what I said. You receive a sign from him.

(15:54):
Are we allowed to talk about last night the debate? No?

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Okay, No we can't say we're okay. I don't want
to talk about No. No, I'd had no interest in
it anyway.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Why would you bring up I was curious, all right.
I was just told by our producer, we have to
take a break. No, you have to get me off
the air. Where is Sam. No, No, you can say
kicking me off. No, you can stay all you can
stay all day.
