Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park will be changing the way he runs his restaurant after the pandemic lifts to better help feed the hungry, Side Dish has learned.<\/p>\n
Humm, whose three-starred Michelin restaurant was named the world\u2019s best in 2017,\u00a0is amping up his role at a non-profit, Rethink Food NYC, to become its top chef and inaugural partner as it expands nationally.<\/p>\n
Before COVID-19, Rethink turned restaurant waste into meals, feeding 15,000 people a week. The non-profit now serves 25,000 meals a day.<\/p>\n
Post COVID-19, restaurant staff at Eleven Madison will make extra \u201cfamily meals\u201d for Rethink to feed needy New Yorkers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf every restaurant does this, we could end hunger,\u201d said Matt Jozwiak, Rethink Food NYC\u2019s executive director and founder, who formerly worked at Humm\u2019s Michelin-rated restaurant.<\/p>\n
Currently, Humm has\u00a0turned Eleven Madison Park into a food commissary to help make meals for Rethink to distribute during the crisis.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has been a life-changing time, and I am really happy to be able to do what we are doing,\u201d said Humm, who bikes from his Upper East Side home to Madison Park every day.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut after the crisis, the next chapter is to incorporate feeding people in need every day. We are producing inexpensive but delicious staff meals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
