Serving as City Harvest’s most important fundraising event, the annual gala brings together NYC’s high profile individuals, influencers, and celebrities to fight hunger. Chef supporters have included Eric Ripert, Geoffrey Zakarian, Tom Colicchio, Marc Murphy, Marcus Samuelsson, Donatella Arpaia, Michael White and Ted Allen. The 2017 gala raised nearly $2.7 million dollars, enough to help feed nearly 9,860 New York City families for a year. www.cityharvest.org/event/gala/

The largest truffle is a Tuber magnatum pico that weighed in at 1,786 g (62.99 oz) on 4 December 2014, down from a reported 1,890 g (66.66 oz), owing to evaporation, when it was found a week earlier in central Italy.The champion truffle was sold by Sabatino Tartufi (Italy/USA) to a phone bidder from Chinese Taipei at Sotheby’s New York auction house on 6 December 2014 for $61,250 (£39,154) including 22.5% buyer’s premium.
