Good Works

And now a word from chef and seafood master Sir Eric Ripert: For 2009, $1 per Le Bernardin diner and per copy sold of his book On the Line will be donated to City Harvest. Ripert, estimating the donation will be about $100,000, said, "We are feeding fairly wealthy people here at Le Bernardin. It's a good feeling that we can give what we can to City Harvest, too. This is very important to me." [EaterWire]
