 | | Event Description | | | | | |  | Join Executive Chef John Doherty for a private dinner in a reserved area of the hotel kitchen, magically transformed into an elegant dining tableau. With his culinary team he will assemble hors d'oeuvres for you during a champagne reception and then dazzle your senses through the main course. The menu includes new dishes that he has developed with his chefs, but have not yet been placed on a menu. That approach, and the chance to swap secrets with a world-renowned chef, is what makes The Chef's Table soirées so popular. |

 | | Executive Chef John Doherty | | | | | | | Graduated from at the Culinary Institute of America, Doherty was named Executive Chef at The Waldorf=Astoria when he turned 27 in 1985, making him the youngest person ever named to the position of Executive Chef in the New York landmark's notable history. Today, 20 years after his appointment to the post, the passionate, affable culinary leader holds the distinction of having cooked for more presidents, royalty and heads-of-state than any other chef in the country. He began in the hotel’s kitchen as an intern at age 19 and worked his way to the top. |
