Museum of Food and Drink to Host First-Annual Benefit Event

By Casey Brennan

On May 7, the Museum of Food and Drink is hosting their very first benefit dinner – and the participants are quite impressive.

Headed up by MOFAD founder Dave Arnold, Culinary Chair Mario Batali, the event – at The Foundry in Long Island City – will feature a pre-dinner Cocktail Hour and a wine selection curated by Jeffrey Porter from the Batali and Bastianich Hospitality Group.

The eight course dinner inspired by the various MOFAD exhibit themes:

Dominique Ansel (Dominique Ansel Bakery): Food on the Battlefield
Michael Anthony (Gramercy Tavern): TV Dinners
Franklin Becker (The Little Beet): What Massasoit Brought to Thanksgiving
Amanda Cohen (Dirt Candy): Korea Before the Chili
Wylie Dufresne (wd~50/Alder): The Four Humors
Sean Gray (Momofuku Ko): Pennsylvania Dutch Food
Brooks Headley (Del Posto): Food of Future Past
Nils Norén (Marcus Samuelsson Group): Rastafarian Ital Diet

A dinner with such major beverage and food people won’t come cheap, though: tickets (available here) start at $600 and Sponsor Tables are going for $10,000.
