NEW YORK Chef Tom Colicchio said he will turn a private party room in his highly rated Craft eatery here into a 32-seat restaurant-within-a-restaurant every other Tuesday, with guests served a prix-fixe meal prepared by Colicchio himself.
Prices will range from $125 to $150 per guest, depending on the ingredients Colicchio chooses, according to the announcement. The meals will consist of “Tom’s personal, no-holds-barred cooking,” done in a display kitchen, the statement said.
Reservations for the Tom: Tuesday Dinner program will be accepted no sooner than six weeks in advance, the announcement indicated. The service is slated to begin Oct. 14.
Craft’s accolades include the 2002 James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant. Colicchio has expanded his holdings to include Craft restaurants in Atlanta, Dallas and Los Angeles. He also operates the Craftsteak steakhouses in New York, Las Vegas and the Foxwoods casino in eastern Connecticut. In addition, he is a co-host of Bravo's Top Chef reality TV show.
