In celebration of New York's latest tennis tournament, evian, Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur Daniel Boulud, and tennis ambassador Frances Tiafoe are teaming up to share a limited-edition menu. This exclusive collaboration can be experienced at Restaurant DANIEL in New York City during the US Open's Semifinals and Finals weekend, or nationwide via Chef Daniel's Big Foe Treat Box on Goldbelly.
Inspired by Tiafoe's culinary roots and how he nourishes his mind and body on and off the court, the menu features Poulet à la Tiafoe, a reimagined childhood favorite peanut butter stew, as well as sweet treats like Cookies & Cream Cheesecake and Macarons.
Naturally, evian Still and Sparkling complement every dish, but there's also a refreshing Big Foe Fizz mocktail, inspired by the classic whiskey sour, made with evian Sparkling.
