On June 12, 2017, acclaimed chefs from around the world gathered with NYC notables and esteemed guests at Rockefeller Center for the 32nd Annual Chefs’ Tribute to Citymeals. 100% of ticket sales and donations will support the preparation and delivery of meals for homebound elderly New Yorkers by Citymeals on Wheels – the city’s only nonprofit providing home-delivered meals to seniors in all five boroughs. This year’s event raised $840,000 to deliver 114,000 meals.

Over 40 internationally renowned chefs served Mediterranean inspired dishes, treating guests to a classic evening under the stars. Participating chefs included Daniel Boulud, Larry Forgione, Marc Forgione, Michael Psilakis, Maria Loi, and dozens more. Highlights from the evening included music from across the region and delicious bites such as smoked eggplant ravioli with confit tomato, feta cheese and za'atar-mint pesto from Chefs Daniel Boulud and Travis Swikard and diced tenderloin, pomegranate molasses and pine nuts with hummus and pita bread from Chef Maroun Chedid. Design by Rockwell Group created a Mediterranean setting in the heart of the city.

Beth Shapiro, Executive Director of Citymeals on Wheels, reflected, “From Spain to Croatia and east to Lebanon, the Mediterranean is wonderfully diverse. We each have our own favorite flavors and Ports of Call Mediterranea brought them all together tonight, representing the entire region.” Beth Shapiro also said “Our message is simple -- we are determined to ensure that no homebound elderly New Yorker ever goes a day without a nutritious meal delivered”.
