KFC — but with truffles.
ChainFEST, a high-low food festival, is taking over Randall's Island Park on September 21. Chrissy Teigen is an investor, and chef Timothy Hollingsworth is a co-founder, along with B.J. Novak .Hollywood stars have their pick of the trendiest restaurants and priciest delicacies, but what they really want is Red Lobster and Panda Express — with a gourmet twist.
Last Friday, a preview for the big event was held at Per Se. Instead of the famed three-Michelin-star restaurant’s usual gourmet dishes, such as salmon coronets and foie gras torchons, the bites on offer were inspired by chain restaurants.Cheesy biscuits were reminiscent of Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits, but they were upgraded with a rich Beurre Monte sauce.
Those are just a few of the dishes that will be on hand at ChainFEST. Attendees can expect elevated takes on 15 dishes from more than eight chain restaurants including Krispy Kreme, Hot Dog on a Stick, Portillo’s and Trader Vic’s. Tickets, on sale Friday atCheesy biscuits served at the Per Se event kick off for ChainFEST Friday were reminiscent of Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits, but they were upgraded with a rich Beurre Monte sauce.
The “Cravings” cookbook author and mom-of-four was spotted Friday walking around the Shops at Columbus Circle with Red, who also came to the Per Se event, taking photos with gawking New Yorkers.She and Red looked downright cozy, but Teigen has a fraught relationship with Red Robin. She unsuccessfully applied for a job there in her youth.
