Momofuku's David Chang Will Cook at Meadowood. Tickets Go on Sale Tuesday Morning.
The Restaurant at Meadowood’s “Twelve Days of Christmas” series of collaborative charity dinners continues into its sixth year, with tickets going on sale Tuesday morning. My good colleague Patrick Cole and I report on this year’s crop of participating chefs over at Bloomberg News. As usual, it’s a SOLID GROUP, which includes Manresa’s David Kinch, Pok Pok Ny’s Andy Ricker, Blanca’s Carlo Mirarchi and Momofuku’s David Chang.
Christopher Kostow, the chef at the three Michelin-starred Meadowood, as always, will be cooking the last meal of the series.
Dinners will run $395 per person, inclusive of wine pairings. Tax and tip are extra. Chefs counter seats, also inclusive of wine, cost $750 apiece and will involve a more “expanded menu.” Those splurging for the more expensive option will be invited to “the lineup meeting,” will receive a Twelve Days chef’s coat and apron, a VIP visit to that evening’s winery and a gift from the vintner.
Yes, it’s a GOOD DEAL, as 20% of the proceeds will go to Napa Emergency Women’s Services, providing aid and shelter to domestic violence victims, as well as toward the Holly Cranston Memorial Fund, which gives scholarships to those preparing for careers in helping children with special needs.

Who Invented Brunch?: The weekend ritual of brunch didn’t catch on in the United States until the 1920s. However, the meal originated in England in the late 1800s, when hungry huntsmen would return from the morning hunt wanting a big meal, and the word itself first appeared in a British magazine called Hunter’s Weekly in 1895. Whether you’re eating after a hunt or a particularly indulgent night out, the hearty mid-morning meal can do a person wonders.
