Alan Cumming and Dee Hilfiger accidentally ate dirt at a swanky party at the site of the original J.P. Morgan Bank on Wall Street.
Tuesday’s event, thrown for the upcoming 14th Factory exhibition, included a 10-course dinner designed by famed Cophenhagen, Denmark, restaurant Noma that included sea urchin toast, black garlic flower and a dessert of fried moss covered in chocolate, placed on what diners thought was a bed of potted grass and edible dirt.
“Dee said she’d had a similar dish in Copenhagen where you’re supposed to eat the entire presentation,” says a source. “Dee and Alan ate the edible parts and just kept going. They burst into hysterics when they realized the grass and dirt were real.”
