NYC’s priciest restaurant now serving food to city’s needy

The city’s priciest restaurant, where tasting menus start at $335 a head, is taking it to the streets.

No, Eleven Madison Park isn’t trying to sell its three-Michelin-star cuisine from roving Neapolitan pizza or Nepali dal bhat trucks. Instead, it’s preparing and trucking high-quality, basic meals for free to some of the city’s most disadvantaged, culinary-deprived neighborhoods. Daniel Humm, the Switzerland-born chef-owner of EMP, has earned critical accolades while his restaurant is a favorite New York City destination for mega-spending global gourmands. But starting Monday, a bright-blue EMP truck will serve up to 400 free meals daily on a first-come, first-served basis in three different communities.
