oday, acclaimed chef and restaurateur Daniel Boulud announces the launch of Cuisine Boulud New York, a premier catering service designed for corporate functions, special events, galas, conferences, and more. This new venture is a collaboration with LifeWorks Restaurant Group.
Led by Michelin-starred Chef Daniel Boulud and his Dinex Group hospitality team, and supported by LifeWorks’ organizational expertise, Cuisine Boulud New York is poised to make a significant impact in the Metro New York catering scene.
With over 30 years of high-end catering experience, notably from his former events business at Restaurant DANIEL, Chef Boulud is celebrated for crafting curated experiences and offering warm hospitality to a diverse range of clients. Cuisine Boulud New York aims to expand this tradition to encompass social events, weddings, corporate catering, and more, catering to various group sizes.
“I have always taken great pride in catering events and contributing to some of the most memorable moments of our guests’ lives,” said Chef Boulud. “I cherish the memories of working on grand events in New York City, nationally, and internationally over the past three decades. Our team is excited to bring our creative expertise to an industry that can often seem standardized, elevating both the culinary and hospitality aspects of catering with Cuisine Boulud New York.”
Cuisine Boulud New York will operate from a state-of-the-art 12,000-square-foot kitchen located at SL Green’s One Madison Avenue in Manhattan. The company will also serve as the exclusive caterer for Le Jardin sur Madison, the newly opened rooftop event space at One Madison. Additionally, La Tête d’Or, a new steakhouse opening at One Madison this fall, is a partnership between Boulud, LifeWorks, and SL Green. With its facilities in the heart of New York City, the company is well-positioned to provide exceptional catering services throughout the city and beyond.
“Dinex is recognized as a world-class restaurant group, and expanding into catering is a natural progression for us,” said Sebastien Silvestri, CEO of the Dinex Group. “There is a significant demand for elevated catering services, and Daniel is the ideal person to meet this need in New York. With our partners at LifeWorks, we are ready to tackle the most prestigious projects in the region.”
“We are excited to collaborate with Chef Daniel Boulud to realize his ambitious catering vision,” said Gary Crompton, CEO of LifeWorks Restaurant Group. “The exceptional culinary talent that Chef Boulud and his team bring will revolutionize industry expectations. This partnership is perfectly aligned to deliver outstanding catering on a grand scale.”
