In a unique celebration, Haute Living’s latest cover star cheffed up and served a long list of notable guests at his very own cover dinner. The Switzerland native and kitchen legend, Chef Daniel Humm, in collaboration with The Macallan, was surely the star of the night. Earning his first Michelin star at the age of 24, and now, just recently earning his third since going vegetarian, Humm is a true master of his work with a passion for creating some of, if not the best food in the world.

The dinner was held at none other than Eleven Madison Park, where Humm prevails as the Executive Chef. Throughout his time in charge, he and the team have together, earned a plethora of recognition and success in the culinary industry. Some awards include four stars from The New York Times, seven James Beard Foundation Awards, and three Michelin Stars, and they even achieved the top ranking on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list in 2017. Their numerous accolades are just a start as to why Eleven Madison Park and Executive Chef Daniel Humm were made the highlight of the night.

As the guests took their seats, they were greeted with a warm welcome from Molly Melville, The Macallan’s National Brand Ambassador, as she raised a toast to Daniel and his recent successes with The Macallan 25. Humm then proceeded by sharing an astounding life story and then the exquisite meal that followed.
