For the days leading up to the surprise tribute dinner for Wylie Dufresne, renowned chefs like René Redzepi, Daniel Patterson, and Magnus Nilsson were all prepping in utmost secrecy, hidden in seedy Williamsburg rentals. The New Yorker has an account of all the prep, which includes Redzepi singing along to Salt-n-Pepa and Daniel Boulud telling Danny Bowien of their collaborative dish, "Let me start with the French, and you can fuck it up with the Chinese."
