September 13 Met Gala Celebrates Plant-Based Menu by 10 Chefs and Food Voices

Guests at this year’s Anna Wintour hosted Met Gala, co-hosted by Amanda Gorman, Billie Ellish, Naomi Osaka and Timothée Chalamet on September 2013 will enjoy a plant-based menu. In another new approach to the evening the dinner will be a collective effort, including dishes from 10 notable New York-based chefs and Instagram influencers, selected by Marcus Samuelsson and Bon Appétit, writes WWD.

The lineup includes Junghyun Park of Atomix, Aquavit executive chef Emma Bengtsson, Le Bernardin pastry chef Thomas Raquel, Fabian von Hauske of Wildair and Sophia Roe, who boasts more than 300,000 Instagram followers. Fariyal Abdullahi, Nasim Alikhani, Lazarus Lynch, Erik Ramirez and Simone Tong were also selected.

The Met Gala team is working with Instagram, creating Instagram Reels with a summertime picnic angle promoted by Instagram in August. The plant-based menu decision follows Eleven Madison Park’s chef Daniel Humm’s June decision to reopen the restaurant post-COVID with a plant-based menu.
