TikTok's favorite chef, Meredith Hayden —the founder of Wishbone Kitchen — has gained a cult following thanks to her delicious recipes and behind-the-scenes videos of life as a private chef.
However, Meredith is taking her culinary skills off social media and participating in Amex Gold x Resy Present: Dip into Gold, a one-of-a-kind, “sauce-first” dining event that will bring together some of the buzziest NYC Resy restaurants as they reimagine signature dishes.
"As a chef and recipe developer myself, I was inspired by the unique sauce creations and dishes that will be made special for the event," she told Distractify, before revealing her favorite unexpected sauce & food pairing. "I love dipping fried chicken into mashed potatoes and gravy."
Meredith also chatted with us to share her desert island necessities, her best meal, and more.
