Celebrity chefs in a culinary battle pitting the East against the West Coast

Pitting the East Coast’s most notable chefs against those from the West, the upcoming food fight at MoMA PS1 sees NYC battle San Francisco in an intense culinary battle dubbed Le Grand Fooding.

Guests will get to judge the food of celebrity chefs like Momofuku‘s David Chang and Blue Hill Farms‘ Dan Barber against Daniel Patterson of Coi and Laurence Jossel of Nopa, while sipping on fizzy beverages from sponsors Veuve Clicquot and San Pellegrino.

In addition to all the food, from Pickle Salad New Yorkese from the maestros at Torrisi and Wood-grilled port ribeye from Nopa, the evening promises a host of other events too, like a
Belvedere vodka pairing with “mystery moments
and special treats” in collaboration with
Dar Hi Eco House and Spa (designer Matali Crasset’s
first architectural project) for a select few.

Le Grand Fooding takes place 24-25 September 2010. Tickets sell for $50 and $80 (for Veuve Clicquot‘s VIP pre-tasting hour) with proceeds going to Action Against Hunger. For more information on the event, including a sample menu and reservations, check the Le Grand Fooding site.
