Schwartz, the “Food Maven” who was the executive food editor and restaurant critic of the New York Daily News for 18 years, will headline the fifth annual Great American Food & Wine Festival aboard the Seabourn Pride departing October 19, 2007.
Schwartz’s appearance was developed through Seabourn’s relationship with Travel + Leisure magazine.
Schwartz is the author of five award-winning cookbooks, including his latest, Arthur Schwartz’s New York City Food: An Opinionated History with Legendary Recipes, which was named 2005 Cookbook of the Year by the International Association of Culinary Professionals.
Until last year, he hosted the Food Talk radio show on WOR in New York, and he has been a guest on numerous network and cable television shows.
The 12-day voyage from Gloucester, MA to Nassau will feature special culinary-themed optional shore excursions in most ports of call, which include Newport, RI (clams and chowder); Philadelphia, PA (Philly cheese steak sandwiches); Baltimore, MD (Chesapeake Bay crabs); Norfolk VA (Virginia hams); Charleston, SC (Low Country cuisine); Savannah, GA (Southern cooking) and Port Canaveral, FL (wild ocean shrimp).
In addition, guests may enjoy a complimentary “Shopping With the Chef” excursion in South Philadelphia’s Italian Market section. During the voyage Schwartz will also present a cooking demonstration and an illustrated lecture about New York City food, and sign copies of his award-winning cookbook for guests.
