Chang, Carmellini, Boulud, and More Chefs Flock to wd~50's Last Supper

The culinary glitterati came out last night for the final meal at wd~50. Die-hard fans have been flying in from across the country over the past few weeks for a final meal, but last night's turnout was unmatched. Here's what everyone had to say:

Andrew Carmellini: "#wd50 the last menu with friends....great run Wylie!"

Jim Meehan got a bit nostalgic:

Thanks to @wyliedufresne & @wd50nyc for showing us all how to open, operate and close a restaurant. So inspiring...

So did David Chang:

Daniel Boulud Instagrammed the same image, writing: "Lot of friends, lot of love on 50 Clinton St tonight @WD50nyc #great team #NewYorkFinestChef you are very special #WylieDufresne and come back soon."

Modernist Cuisine co-author Chris C. Young stopped by for a selfie with the chef:

Wylie Dufresne documented the last savory dish to exit his kitchen (lamb loin with black garlic romesco, pickled ramps and dried soybean):

While Dave Arnold captured the last sweet one:

Brazilian chef Julien Mercier, in from Sao Paulo instagrammed: "Yesterday was a sad day, but a happy day! This picture, (credit of Dave Arnold) is the last dish to ever go out of the @wd50nyc kitchen. Congratulations to #williedufresne for his work and the inspiration he was for so many of us! I am sure he will soon have a new project and blow our minds again. #wd50"

And the last dish ever at WD-50. How much would it be worth on eBay? Too late. I ate it. pic.twitter.com/9MluBsSjdc

Dufresne tweeted his final thank you late last night:

And there goes the final wd50 dessert, that's a wrap! Thank you to everyone, past present and future...the support has been overwhelming!!!

For those dealing with the emotional (and physical) hangover from last night, the restaurant sent diners home with one final taste:

What's next is still unknown. In the immediate future, Dufresne will focus on his East Village restaurant, Alder. He is also reportedly looking for a new restaurant space, but it's unclear how soon that will materialize. And when it does, don't expect him to open something exactly like the old wd~50.
