Graydon Carter and other top restauranteurs are showing support for Ukraine through cuisine.
We hear the Air Mail editor’s upscale West Village eatery Waverly Inn is adding “chicken Kyiv” to its menu, “done the Ukrainian way.”
“In fact, for anyone who brings a Ukrainian passport, the dish is on us,” Carter says.
During the harrowing Russian invasion of Ukraine, New Yorkers have shown solidarity in various ways, including through solid foods. The Post reported that more than 100 people lined up at iconic Ukrainian diner Veselka in the East Village.
One distraught diner explained: “It was just important for us to be here. … There is very little we can do, but we wanted to be with people and eat the food I grew up with. It has been a difficult time.”
Other foodies are pitching in at the Ukrainian border. Chef José Andrés’ nonprofit World Central Kitchen has been serving up meals to refugees who are fleeing the country through the Polish border.
The chef — who’s behind Mercado Little Spain in New York’s Hudson Yards and also has restaurants in Chicago, Las Vegas and Washington, DC — added that he’ll next mobilize efforts to feed refugees in any country bordering Ukraine.
He said via Twitter: “We are in different places across the border in Poland. We are already feeding in Romania. We’re going to be in different entry points.”
Andrés also is reportedly behind food initiatives inside the war-torn country that’s being attacked by Russia.
“We have restaurants inside Odessa. We are contacting others and we’re telling them, ‘Guys, there are many ways to fight. Some people fight, you are making sure people are fed,’” he said.
