In addition to publishing original articles, photos, and videos, Tasting Table hosts events including the Lobster Rumble, held annually in New York City and Los Angeles.

[1] Tasting Table was founded in 2008 by Geoff Bartakovics and John McDonald,[2] with backing from the Pilot Group,[3] a private equity firm established by Bob Pittman.

Originally called the Lobster Roll Claw-Off[7] and hosted only in New York City, the event, now named Tasting Table' Lobster Rumble, occurs annually in New York City in June of each year[8] and moves to Los Angeles in August.

[9][10] In 2015, Tasting Table acquired Flavour, a restaurant discovery app that The New York Times once called "powerful" and "eye-catching".

While Tasting Table editors have selected the restaurants included in each of the app's eight cities, DINE aggregates reviews from nearly 30 local and national publications, critics, and epicurean websites.
