Chef Daniel Boulud’s Sunday Supper Raises $1.3 Million for Citymeals on Wheels

Featuring a cocktail hour and three-course meal imagined by four guest chefs—New York City’s Mary Attea of Elizabeth Street Hospitality and Eunji Lee of Lysée, as well as Greg Frey Jr. of San Marcos, CA’s Golden Door, and Stéphanie Le Quellec of La Scène in Paris—chef Daniel Boulud’s 27th annual Sunday Supper offered a celebration of the senses. The gourmet gala, which raised $1.3 million for Citymeals on Wheels (which translates to 130,000 nourishing meals for food insecure New Yorkers), was held on March 9 and dazzled with dishes ranging from Le Quellec’s lobster with celery heart and vanilla sauce to Boulud and chef Eddy Leroux’s High Plains bison tournedos with miroir de truffe noire, Winnimere Vacherin, potato gratin, salsify, and crosnes.

The evening celebrated Citymeals supporter Leslie Ziff and honorary board member Florence Fabricant. "For the past 27 years, Sunday Supper has been an opportunity for New Yorkers to come together to support those who built this city,” Boulud told Surface before thanking his guest chefs, sponsors, friends, and supporters, “whose generosity helps support this vital lifeline for older New Yorkers in need." Notables in attendance included: Christian Siriano, Katherine Boulud, Nancy and Jon Bauer, Ellen and Robert S. Grimes, Lisa Rosenblum and Georgina Celebic, Barbara Tarmy, and more.
