Dante Fried Chicken at Le Grand Fooding NYC!

What an amazing mash up of chefs, food, music and gourmet fun at this year’s Le Grand Fooding!

Vogue writes it best:

This year, Le Fooding (the company behind France’s anti-Michelin food guides and festivals) is bringing its third annual American gastronomic celebration to Manhattan. Over the course of two weekends in September, the group will host events with phenomenal food and potent cocktails, music performances and DJ sets, in unexpected and intimate settings all over the city.

Le Fooding kicks off on September 17 with its Campfire Session, happening at a semi-hidden lot on Elizabeth Street in Nolita that’s usually populated by garden sculptures and birdbaths. Super-chefs (such as wd-50’s Wylie Dufresne, Dante Fried Chicken’s Dante Gonzales, and Iñaki Aizpitarte of Le Chateaubriand) and gourmand musicians (including LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy) will prepare a five-star feast for 250 guests, and mixologists Richard Boccato andSasha Petraske will keep libations flowing with Jameson-based signature cocktails to the sounds of  DJ Nancy Whang, French hip-hop DJ Mehdi, and Norwegian singer Sondre Lerche. And save room for dessert—the brothers behind Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream are creating a surprise flavor just for the event.

Michael Hebb + Dante Cook Up the Jack Warner Estate

A dear friend of the DFC family, Michael Hebb, creates one of a kind dining experiences traveling the globe with his roving table. Using the common table and gathering to catalyze conversation around a common thread topic, Michael has created the art of “Table Making”. His work has taken him to lofts of New York to the medians of interstate highways and the dens of world leaders and dilapidated sites. He brings in an array of top chefs, food artisans, mixologists, local farmers, and those of the like in the food revolution against industrialized products.

During the Grammy’s, Michael was invited to host a dinner with music industry and community building executives, to discuss the future of the music business and youth culture adoption over dinner at the Jack Warner Estate. Dante was chosen as one of the chefs for the event, serving up his signature Sock-it-to-Me Fried Chicken to James Andrews (Social People.TV), Jermaine Dupri (So So Def), Jeff Rosenthal (Executive Partner at Summit Series) and many more.

Check out photos from the Grammy Dinner at the Jack Warner Estate.
