About 45 top chefs from around the world will descend on New York City next month to cook for 450 guests in a dinner meant to carry on a tradition first set last year at the Chateau de Versailles.
After pulling off a decadent dinner for 890 guests at the historic palace to celebrate the inauguration of French gastronomy into UNESCO’s World Heritage List last year, organizers of the Relais & Chateaux Dîner des Grands Chefs have decided to carry on the tradition, this time in New York.
The dinner takes place in Gotham Hall April 16, and tickets cost $1,500 a person.
