Friendsgiving Chef Services

RITZ is Helping Companions Enjoy Friendgiving Feasts

RITZ and chef Marcus Samuelsson want to make the Thanksgiving season as stress-free as possible with a simple way for companions to savory Friendsgiving feasts. The Friendsgiving Chef Service sweepstakes is launching so that one lucky winner will get to host a Friendsgiving dinner for 10 without having to worry about cooking, since the entire spread will be beautifully prepared by Chef Marcus Samuelsson.

While only a select few will be welcomed into the chef's newest New York City restaurant for an unforgettable Thanksgiving experience, there are also curated Friendsgiving Chef Service meal kits that are being shipped via Goldbelly. These chef-curated meal kits share everything needed to prepare seasonal delights like Candied Root Veggies with Spice Pecans and Marcus' Cornbread Stuffing and Dirty Gravy.
