Chef Daniel Boulud's Street Food Success
Filed under: Dining
Monday afternoon a line of chilly foodies stretched along 51st Street where an unusual food truck was doling out more than the usual hot dogs and kabobs. Chef Daniel Boulud - thrice Michelin-starred - stood in the window, with lumberjack hat, earflaps and all, handing out free lunches to lucky winners.
The two-hour event featured four top New York chefs and was orchestrated by NBC New York to promote its new food site, Feast, which is scheduled to launch next week. Lucky winners who entered via the web site were given a spot at one of the four trucks. At Boulud's truck (above) eaters got to sample some of the menu items from his more casual, downtown restaurant DBGB Kitchen & Bar.
On Monday, Feb. 8, 500 lucky New Yorkers will get a chance to taste gourmet fast food of sorts from some of the city's most popular chefs. It'll be the street cart equivalent of New York City Ballet dancers doing pirouettes on a subway platform, or Broadway actors singing karaoke in a dive bar. In other words, a rare treat.
