The Swiss celebrity chef Daniel Humm, who with the Eleven Madison Park runs one of the best restaurants in New York, and will in future also cook meals for people in need. With his Eleven Madison Park Truck, he plans to distribute up to 2,000 free meals a week. Last year he turned his restaurant into a soup kitchen for needy New Yorkers.
As Humm himself announced on the restaurant’s website, the truck will stop in various parts of New York. Including districts like the Bronx and Brooklyn. To do this, he has entered into a cooperation with Rethink Food, a non-profit organization that he himself co-founded and for which he has been working since spring 2020. Since then he is said to have cooked more than a million free meals, he revealed gaultmillau.ch.

The food truck is financed directly by the guests of his restaurant or his newly founded project EMP Home. A kind of delivery service and online shop for high quality food and kitchen accessories. His kitchen team must also make a contribution. “I want this program to become an integral part of our work. Every menu that a guest orders includes $ 20 to support the food initiative. And my cooks have to work in rotation in the food truck. Guests and employees should be involved in this issue, ”explained Humm to the restaurant guide.
Daniel Humm only proved last year that he is committed to his employees. Back then, he was promoting auctions that included private wine tastings, the sale of works of art, and even fall jogging tours with the celebrity chef in Central Park. (Day pass reported)
