BELLA presented a ONE-NIGHT-ONLY pop-up kitchen by Chef John DeLucie to celebrate the launch of the new BELLA Dots collection. The makers of BELLA Dots transformed GD Cucine – a stunning kitchen showroom – into a lively and playful pop-up kitchen complete with interactive cooking stations including a coffee cocktail and dessert café, build-your-own toaster bar with a selection of gourmet sandwiches and bread and slow cooker buffet with exclusive dishes from Chef John DeLucie.
Guests experienced a live graffiti art installation and danced to tunes by celebrity DJ Mick Boogie. A-listers were spotted at the launch included Stacy Keibler, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Jill Zarin, and Chef Anna Boiardi.
What’s a kitchen event without food? Chef John DeLucie made sure our belly’s were full by preparing a delectable menu just for the occasion.
