Led by Michelin-starred Chef Daniel Boulud and his Dinex Group hospitality business, and backed by the organizational prowess of LifeWorks, Cuisine Boulud New York is strongly positioned in the Metro New York catering market.
With 30-plus years of experience at the high end of catering through his previous events business, which was largely operated from the kitchen at Restaurant DANIEL, Chef Boulud is known for delivering curated experiences and warm hospitality to the most discerning and diverse clientele. Now he and the Cuisine Boulud New York team are poised to broaden their offering, to include social events of all kinds, weddings, galas, corporate catering, and workplace amenities, with the ability to serve groups of varying scales.
“I have always taken great pride in catering events and helping to create some of the most joyful moments of our guests’ lives,” said Chef Boulud. “I have wonderful memories of working on some of the grandest events not only in New York City, but also nationally and abroad over the past three decades. As a team, we particularly enjoy bringing our sense of creative expertise to an industry that can often be seen as standardized. By elevating both the culinary and the hospitality elements of catering, Cuisine Boulud New York will truly stand apart.”
Operations for Cuisine Boulud New York will be based primarily out of a new, state-of-the-art 12,000-square-foot kitchen located at SL Green’s One Madison Avenue in Manhattan. Cuisine Boulud New York will also be the exclusive caterer for Le Jardin sur Madison, the recently-opened rooftop event space at One Madison. In addition, La Tête d’Or, the new steakhouse opening at One Madison this fall, is a partnership between Boulud, LifeWorks and SL Green. With its facilities centralized in the heart of New York City, the company is positioned to provide its services throughout the city and beyond.
“Dinex is known as a world-class restaurant group, and we believe that expanding our catering operations is the next logical step for us,” said Sebastien Silvestri, CEO of the Dinex Group. “We see tremendous demand for a more elevated catering offering, and Daniel is the perfect person to bring this to New York. With our partners at LifeWorks, we will immediately have the scale to take on the most prestigious projects in the region.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Chef Daniel Boulud to expand his grand vision in catering,” said Gary Crompton, CEO of LifeWorks Restaurant Group. “The culinary talent that Chef Boulud and his team bring to this catering company will upend expectations in the industry. Providing exceptional catering on a large scale is the synergy that drives this exciting joint venture.”
