Food Foodie Auction Items

Posted by Alison Hallett on Thu, Dec 6 at 12:40 PM

Among the many irresistible items in this year’s Mercury Charity Auction—proceeds to support the great work being done at Sisters of the Road Cafe—are a couple of seriously impressive opportunities for food and drink lovers (i.e. everybody!).

CHEF FOR THE NIGHT: A dinner for two at Le Pigeon—and not only will Gabriel Rucker cook dinner for you and your date, but he’ll talk you through the process as he does it. That’s right: One of the best young chefs in the country, cooking dinner just for you. That’ll be something to brag about as Gabe’s career skyrockets.

ONE OF EVERYTHING—The winner of this absolutely fantastic package (donated by Pix Patisserie’s Cheryl Wakerhauser, who is always generous and has outdone herself this year) will receive a punch card good for one of every beverage on the North Pix beverage menu. Check out their menu. Pix offers a LOT of beverages, from an extensive Congac selection to champagnes to hard-to-find liqueurs to house cocktails. I mean, holy crap. This item is worth about $1200; looks like the high bet at the moment is $128.

Happy bidding!

Oh, HELLLLL no!

"watch Tom Brady win another damn trophy"

I don't THINK SO!

le Pigeon has great food but that chief is a total dick. He and the sous chef talk shit about every patron after they walk out the door.

Not to mention that he tends to go to the bathroom quite a bit.
