Member of the Week: Daniel Boulud


Revered chefs like Daniel Boulud are why New York City is considered the food capital of the world. If you have ever been so lucky to have dined at one of his seven restaurants in New York City or had the chance to experience his food in Palm Beach, Miami, Singapore, Montréal, Toronto, London or Beijing, you understand why Boulud is one of America's most prominent culinary authorities. As long as his repertoire of restaurants is his list of accolades and achievements: Boulud has received the reputable James Beard Foundation awards, Outstanding Chef and Outstanding Restaurateur, as well as being named a Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur by the French government and Chef of the Year 2011 by The Culinary Institute of America.

Daniel Boulud is not only respected for his delicious culinary expertise here at GoGreenRide, but is also appreciated as a friend and devoted supporter of our CEO, Yamandou Alexander. In 1994, Yamandou moved from France to the United States to seek new opportunities. What Yamandou found was a busboy position at one of New York City's finest restaurants owned by the one and only Daniel Boulud, Daniel. When Yamandou moved on to found ASG Telecom in 1996, Boulud was the first customer to purchase the new company's services. Boulud's loyalty has never wavered; you can find him today riding around New York City in a bright green car, once again supporting his former employee.
