The United States Tennis Association (USTA), in conjunction with Levy Restaurants, the official restaurant partner of the US Open, announced its new expanded variety of culinary choices available throughout the grounds of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

Known as the sports and entertainment world’s ultimate annual food and dining experience, the 2015 US Open welcomes more than 700,000 fans to enjoy unparalleled bounty, including iconic local restaurants, refined fare from star chefs, fresh, local ingredients and interactive culinary experiences. This season’s event will enhance its innovative dining options with a brand new food truck, new restaurant partners, and new dining concessions. A pair of last year’s favorites – Hill Country Barbecue and Maya – will also extend service to the Club Level inside Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Once again, the US Open will team up with an all-star roster of acclaimed chefs, with some of the culinary world’s biggest names returning to craft their specialty dishes for fans, including Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, James Beard award winner Tony Mantuano, and celebrity chef Richard Sandoval. New to this year are two renowned Michelin star chefs: Michael White, chef and owner of highly-rated dining establishments including Costata, Marea and Al Fiori, and Ed Brown, creator and chef at Sea Grill and Ed’s Chowder House in New York. This team of celebrated chefs creates a truly unique culinary experience unlike any other.
