If it were sailing out of New York tonight, and people were on board eating this meal, what would they eat?”īanks and McCue put a great deal of research into answering that question. “But if it never hit an iceberg and sank, most people would’ve never heard of the *Titanic.*Something about it is intriguing. “We’re not celebrating the fact that it was a tragedy,” Banks explained in his makeshift kitchen before the dinner. Though Banks and McCue intended for their seven-course meal-matched carefully with a list of classic wines-to be decadent, the morbidity of the event was not lost on them.
Behind the event-titled Dine Titanic-were three men known for pulling off impossible meals in tight situations: Adam Banks, best known as the sous chef from the Bravo reality series Chef Roblé & Co., Rob McCue from Season Eight of Fox’s reality cooking competition series Hell’s Kitchen, and Jonathan Cristaldi, who planned a luncheon aboard a New York subway car last year. On the eve of the 100th anniversary of the *Titanic’*s tragic sinking, about 100 gown-and-suit-clad guests were convened in Manhattan to re-create a lesser-known aspect of ship’s legendary history: the first class’s final meal.
