How silly.
If you're going to hold a fund raiser for Trump don't hire or beg for a well know chef to do the cooking.
Simply go McDonalds.

“I always have been an active participant in the democratic process,” Mr. Ross said in a statement. “I have been, and will continue to be, an outspoken champion of racial equality, inclusion, diversity, public education and environmental sustainability, and I have and will continue to support leaders on both sides of the aisle to address these challenges.”
=========
A fund-raiser that runs from 5,600 to 250,000 a ticket is not part of the democratic process since it eliminates a huge portion of the population who could not realistically afford such a price. Such an event is not - and, I would argue, intentionally so - inclusive.
Sure, it is a fund-raiser, but obviously anything less than 5600 is not worth the President's time. Smells a bit like prostitution, really (and yes, Democrats as well as Republicans do it).
But even with our illustrious Supreme Kangaroo Court ruling of Citizens United, which legitimized politicians prostituting themselves for favors, we all know these fundraisers are effectively bribery parties, quid pro quo extortion orgies. The words, if not definitions, have simply been changed, and the arguments (lies) given, over and over, to where we sit back and say "ah, politics as usual". Criminal.
After all, if a politician won't give anyone a personal audience for 5 dollars, but will do so for 50K, that just means he/she is a high-priced prostitute.
But a prostitute nonetheless.
And sorry, Mr. Ross, the Constitution does not support prostitution.
5
The U.S. ruling class has historically been smart enough to avoid financing fascist politics. If the super-rich like Ross continue to finance Trump we can end up like Germany did in the 1930s, when the German aristocracy thought they could use and control Hitler.
Speak up and do something before it is too late!

Steve Ross is hardly only connected to one politician. He has benefited mightily from close relationships with Amazon Cuomo, a Democrat, and Mikey Bloomberg, a Republican, then a Democrat, now an independent.
Cuomo threw Ross the business of converting the iconic Farley Post Office into a spiffy entryway to the stygian Penn Station below, and other Democrats along with Cuomo helped make Hudson Yards happen in the airspace above MTA property for below market cost.
Bloomberg gave Ross the right to develop the lowrise Cornell-Technion engineering grad school on Roosevelt Island. Alongside it, Ross built a 26 story luxury tower, and now another is rising next to it.
The cold, hard truth is that Equinox/Soulcycle members, and these celebrity chefs have no leverage over Ross. Compared to his real estate business, the revenues generated by the gyms, and the celebrity chefs represent change found in Ross’ couch cushions. In fact, Ross’ investment in the gyms and restaurants represents greenwashing his, um, reputation.
8
The NY Post write up of the fundraiser said that Trump made fun of US allies South Korea, Japan and the European Union, mimicked Japanese and Korean accents and talked about his love of dictators Kim Jong Un and the current ruler of Saudi Arabia.
Mr. Chang, you might want to rethink your ties with Mr. Ross. I doubt there's anything to “figure out.”
18
People have to make a living. Selling one's soul to make a living is a decision a whole lot of Americans make all the time. Too bad, but gotta eat.
1
The Yards are a blight on real NY. I have no sympathy for these sellouts.
8
So much talk while trying to play both sides. If you mean it, close your restaurants.
8
I wish the celebrity chefs would leave people alone. Steven Ross supports Trump, so what. Let's remember over 80 million people voted for Trump.
1
@Julia Where do you get 80m? It was about 63m, 3 million less than Clinton. I'm sure many of them have given up on him after seeing what a bang up (pun intended) job he's doing.
5
But he had the biggest crowd at his Inauguration!
2
Watch what they DO not what they SAY. Yes, Steve Ross is entitled to his political opinions and to behave with a complete lack of integrity. But there's a bigger issue here.
What, if anything, are these fundraisers getting from Mr. Trump in exchange for their support?
Steve Ross claims he is an "outspoken champion" of racial equality etc. yet he is actively working to re-elect Trump whose every action is antithetical to his stated beliefs.
Either you are lying about your beliefs or you have some other reason for supporting Trump. So, why are you working to re-elect him?
The Times needs to spend more time exposing the big money supporters of Trump. Trump's record in office shows that he is for sale. If there are favors being granted to these supporters -- the public needs to know about them. If there are government contracts being given to these donors -- the public needs to know about them.
21
I have long admired Jose Andres for his post-natural disaster and immigration-related humanitarian efforts and his refusal to open a restaurant in The Trump Hotel here, and I have supported his numerous restaurants in DC for that reason. I'm glad he spoke out about the fundraiser, but now he needs to do more. No, Mr. Andres, we will not have anarchy if we stop doing business with people we strongly disagree with. We just may make a little less money. But we will have anarchy (justifiably) if Trump is re-elected, which is what Steve Ross is working for. And if Trump were not a mean-spirited, reprehensible sociopath, he would be making sure the United States feeds victims of natural disasters and our immoral border policies and Mr. Andres wouldn't have to.
20
@Wilson: at the end of the day we all love what the chef Andres did for the reliefs in Puerto Rico and so much more , the sad reality is that he is visibly sadden To be caught between taking money from someone happy to support a man that is changing our country for ever and trying to hold down on few principles the chef is attached to , I don't qualify for advises chef Andres ,but one thing I know is that life is about choices and you cannot have it both way , but if luck is on your side ,you may get a roll of paper towel thrown at you by trump or ross.

I would boycott Christina Tosi simply because her over-sugared product is a societal health risk and it's ridiculously over-priced. I won't even mention the AWFUL customer service in her stores. Greed personified.
Of all the people who have money to invest, how did these three end up with Trump-loving-Ross?
9
A wealthy mogul supports a known liar and blatantly out-of-his-depth president. Customers of his business partners rebel and boycott.
The business partners have choices. They can complain. Ineffective. OR they can join the boycott and move their businesses and replace the mogul with another investor whose politics match their own.
Money talks. If you don't like the investor's politics, vote with your feet!
18
I applaud them for speaking out, but if they continue to take Ross's money, they're complicit. I'm not eating at Chick Fil A; I'm not working out at Equinox, and now I guess I'm not going to Momofuku.
In these dark times, using our spending money wisely is one of the most effective tools that we have. Ross is free to support a white nationalist, and to support the white nationalist regime that is directly responsible for the white nationalist terrorist attacks, and I'm free to not support HIM or other people who are in bed with him.
This is easy and fun (though I'll definitely miss going to Momofuku, at least until Chang wisens up and drops this loser).
24
He should cancel his fund raiser for this demagogue of hate and fake news and care more about his country than maximizing his income and extreme corporate tax cuts. I suggest a national boycott on all Trump business organizations from
which Trump benefits in violation of the emoluments clause and of other corporations whose CEOs support this divisive and racist politician. It is about values, ideals, and compassion more than politics.
16
@IN Too late to cancel. What do these complicit restaurant owners do now?
Money Talks, NOBODY walks!
still true!
6
money,Money,MONEY, Folks, power and money can not be hurt. Its a drug like all drugs it need people. Money are Drugs would not be in the world if only one person needed them. Epstein and Trump need people to do things in dark. If the winds blow lies. And the eye see not a light. The author is darkness.

“If we are going to start tomorrow breaking with everybody that has relationships or supports people we don’t agree with, we will be living in anarchy,” Mr. Andrés said. Mr. Andres, you're being cowardly and facile here. Ross is helping reelect a white supremacist, misogynist ignoramus who is destroying our democratic norms and shredding environmental protections. This is not like cutting ties with your uncle because he voted for Putin's Puppet.
9
If you give money, as Mr. Ross does, to a bigot, a racist, and a misogynist then you are a bigot, a racist and a misogynist yourself. Mr. Ross is not a good person and the people he does business with are tainted.
19
I wonder how the Democrats will behave if a Democrat they don't like and hadn't planned on becomes the candidate.
2
@J. G. Smith Definition of false equivalence.
8
I understand these people needed investors in their restaurants but wouldn’t it have been known Ross was a friend of trump’s, a man always known for shady deals.
Ross can’t sugar-coat this fundraiser. Too bad the shadow falls on these successful chefs. I don’t want them to suffer. I do want Ross to know when you rub elbows with trump then your investments will take a nose dive. Money is the only truth these people understand. Boycott every Ross investment.
11
I avoid doing business with providers of products with whom I disagree.
I avoid buying anything German, for obvious reasons. As much as possible I stay away from Chinese products because they steal our intellectual property and force our companies, as a condition of doing business, to transfer American intellectual property to them. Now, that The Times has identified these folks I can avoid patronizing their businesses as well.
9
@MIKEinNYC I couldn't disagree more. Stealing intellectual property has been going on for decades by both corporations and countries all around the world. It's the name of the game. With regards to it being 'a condition of doing business with the Chinese,' I say to you, my anger is directed solely at our own American corporations for choosing to transfer so much of our economy outside of the U.S. so they can become billionaires many times over.
7
Virtue signaling is fine by me. What have trump supporters been signaling?
7
By supporting Triump, the bundler and his guests can't say they just like his tax and regulation cuts, but they are backing the whole package of bigotry. They claim to want diverse customers and workers, but they are offending them when they bankroll Trump. I assume Mr. Ross didn't do his own cooking for the fundraiser. His caterers should be named and shamed.
9
“I have been, and will continue to be, an outspoken champion of racial equality, inclusion, diversity, public education and environmental sustainability, and I have and will continue to support leaders on both sides of the aisle to address these challenges.”
Mr. Ross, if you really mean what you say, then certainly you'd be hosting a fundraiser for someone else. ANYONE else!
31
When we insist that political tribalism must dominate every aspect of our lives, we create divides that make peaceful co-existence and a democratic republic impossible.
There is good and bad in all of us; there are not good and evil people. Disengagement with those who believe differently from you only drives them further away. How does this strategy of boycotts and public disdain possibly lead to a better society, or even the defeat of Trump?
Why would a celebrity chef feel that his political opinions are worthy of public dissemination? Who in their right mind is telling celebrities that they have a moral obligation to speak out? Is there truly a shortage of Trump critics?
4
Not if you work in an industry that is fueled by and features employees of gender and nationality insulted by this president. It’s a stand of rational support for your employees.
12
forbid all forms of private campaign financing now. public financing will drain the swamp, making both all sides happy.
8
Healthy debate and political disagreements should not undermine pre-existing business relationships. Good to see profound respect between parties on opposite sides of the great American political divide.
A true "champion of racial equality, inclusion, diversity, public education and environmental sustainability..." does not raise funds to ensure the re-election of a man who's clear track record stands in stark contrast to every one of those honorable causes.
What kind of man can live with himself accepting that his only true allegiance is to turning a profit.
45
Mr. Ross said in a statement. “I have been, and will continue to be, an outspoken champion of racial equality, inclusion, diversity, public education and environmental sustainability, and I have and will continue to support leaders on both sides of the aisle to address these challenges.”
With champions like this, who, among us, needs enemies. Someone please, gift this guy a dictionary for his birthday so he can look up the definitions of words that he's shown he's clueless of their meaning.
57
Bravo Steve Ross for doing what you feel instead of being influenced by these celebrity chefs who use their fame and fortune to express freely what they feel. This is the essence of America.
Both Andres and Chang through these expressions are also promoting their businesses and of course they’re free to do that.
Steve Ross is free to do what he thinks is best for him.
14
@Victor
And here's hoping the public puts Steve Ross' businesses out of business.
Free markets, right? Maybe the carnage will spur a new corporate ethics.
Or, if he's as committed to humanity as he claims, he could always transfer his share to the employees and make a public show of exiting the business.
28
But not what is best for America. Boycott Ross’ businesses.
7
@Victor Without question, the businesses of Andres and Chang are going to suffer for this. This is not promotion. People are desperate to find a way to show their abhorrence of this president and his supporters. Boycotting a restaurant when there are thousands of others is an easy and visible way.
2
The protestations of celebrity chefs can be construed as free speech versus ‘stay in your lane’ debate. But a more meta perspective came out of Soul Cycle and in other businesses owned by mega capital business titans. By virtue of their dominance in commerce, they are de-facto kings of the businesses we frequent, likewise they are virtual masters of the employees on their payroll as well as landlords to their serfs. As a consumer and as an employee, the immediate, cost-free choice of a switch or ‘boycott’ is far from simple and easy.
9
Boycott and avoid Hudson Yards...
37
@Joe A Phladephia friend wanted to go there with me. I absolutely refused.
7
To Chef Andres...My condolences. To think in a few short hours, these Americans raised over$12M to reelect Mr. Trump. Meanwhile, how long and hard did you have to raise money to help fellow Americans in Puerto Rico impacted by the Hurricane. Lessons learned: give enough tax cuts and there is almost nothing that is beyond the pale.
104
Perhaps we shouldn’t allow massive bribes of politicians by wealthy corporations or the moguls that run them? How about free speech be limited to actually speaking your own voice publicly in favor of the politicians you like... not backroom deals in the form of $100,000 payoffs to get your photo with the president at a discriminatory dinner in the Hamptons? Major corporations should not be able to give major bribes because that’s clearly a quid pro quo. Same goes for the insanely rich people who run them, but whose wealth came at the expense of wages for the voiceless folks who wipe the sweat of the “socially conscious” Soul Cyclists, or who empty the trash at Hudson Yards (which was a product of paying off politicians).
These chefs all started from humble roots, but in order to go global, they had to join this corrupt system of the rich. Any of them could run excellent small restaurants, but to get big, they had start taking investment from folks who get it by bribing the government. So they are a bit complicit, even if they are generally much better than the ilk of Ross.
40
@Chris Tell it to SCOTUS which allowed in Citizens United, it has been all downhill since.
8
STOP with the politics. Stay in your Lane which is food not politics and fake virtue signaling. PS - i didn’t vote for Trump, but certainly understand people who did and their reaction to this type of stuff...
20
Why can a business person raise funds for a politician? That’s seems equally far from their lane...
17
@Jay
Well, we live in the polis. So the reaction of the chefs is understandable.
But let's follow your logic. Chefs should stick to what they do best -- run restaurants -- and stay out of politics.
Ergo, Mr. Ross should stick to what he does best -- business -- and stay out of politics. If he wants to do a fundraiser, how about the environment? or those people jammed into cages near the Rio Grande?
11
@Jay
Why shouldn't people's work reflect their inner values? Whose lane is it anyway?
7
Separate ties and move your companies away from this guy if you disagree. Don't try to convince the public how outraged you are while collecting money through his ventures
50
The line used to describe the liberal view of free speech and diversity of thought is that they support such ideals, as long as you agree with them. This article, and the one about Soul Cycle, proves that view.
How is this article, and the Soul Cycle one, not promoting hate and division? One can take the ridiculous phoney high moral ground that "we are right," which is arrogant, condescending, dismissive, and reminiscent of Nazi Germany. Believe what we believe, or we will destroy you. OUR opinion is the only one that matters.
I was at a Garrison Keillor event (waiting for comments to deflect attention from the REAL point) when he made the comment that the country needed radical left people such as himself to recognize the middle ground. Somewhere, the radical left became the only ground, with no one wanting to compromise.
People have a right to spend money where they choose, and to support who THEY feel is the best choice, not who I feel is the best choice. How are articles such as these any different from Star of David patches? Remove the issues and look at the behavior. I don't care how passionately one feels they are "right," It isn't the point. People have the right to support the causes in which they believe. If we start deciding what is the proper thought line, and demanding, through terror and threat to one's livelihood, that they change, all publically, the Nazi's won, and my father spent almost 4 years in a German POW camp for nothing.
12
@Mrs. Cleaver
Freedom of speech works both ways. People have the right to support whatever group or person they want, but the other side has the right of free speech to object and express their opinions.
60
@Mrs. Cleaver The problem is that meanwhile, the administration is destroying our environment, our education system, bringing more debts than we can afford, destroying families, lives, torturing children, I mean I can go on but it's just too long. He is literally destroying this country while Mr. Ross is trying to raise more money, for what? what else does he want to destroy that is not already in peril??
I am big fan of the chefs but better know where the money is coming from.. I am very proud of everyone who is protesting Equinox and Soul cycle and whatever is that they have to do to make a point.
41
@Jenjen231 Through insults, threats, and public shaming? Rights must be tempered with ethics. I have the right to support any candidate I want, but why should I ten be faced with public attacks, loss of livelihood, physical violence, and a myriad of other attacks, all guised under free speech, for doing so. Perhaps, we should organize a StormJenjen231 event, at your place of work, and another at your home, to call attention to your choices.
Chefs like Jose Andres, who has steadfastly combatted Trump, and David Chang, should consider holding fundraisers with fabulous meals at their restaurants in Hudson Yards. I for one would be first in line and it would be poetic justice to match the fundraising amount at Ross’ property. The publicity potential is enormous.
For Steven Ross, who right about now should be questioning his decision to support Trump, he might consider going public with an apology and donating the amount raised by his fundraiser to the eventual Democratic nominee. People do make mistakes and should be judged by how they make amends.
52
@bob How naïve. He supports Trump because it benefits him to support Trump. Exactly how, who knows?
1
To be accurate, Ms. Tosi did not condemn Mr. Ross. Her response was similar to Soul Cycle, which avoided the issue as best they could. Mr. Chang clearly condemned Mr. Ross on his podcast and he and Mr. Andres implored Mr. Ross to do better.
16
Mr. Ross, if you are a Trump supporter, the following statement cannot be true:
“I have been, and will continue to be, an outspoken champion of racial equality, inclusion, diversity, public education and environmental sustainability..."
Your move.
142
According to Ross, he only bankrolls systemic racism for the tax cuts. So if consumers impose a tax on his gross negligence, he has no reason to continue investing in systemic racism.
22
Virtue signalling at its most cynical, but will be lapped up in these pages. Andres should be more ashamed of being in the monstrosity that is Hudson Yards. Ross's true crime and longest lasting is his role in that shimmering palace to excess.
Haven't Dave Chang and Christina Tosi made enough money by now to buy Ross out? Get new investors if not. Walk the walk, guys! Those who have cancelled Equinox have. Give us more than cheap PR soundbites if you feel that strongly.
62
@ClearThinker Don't forget that Andres has set up emergency kitchens at several disaster areas and produced thousands of meals for victims in Puerto Rico, California after the wildfires, among others around the world.
6
@Diana Yes, which he wouldn't have to do if Trump were doing his job, i.e., supporting the citizens of the United States who are in need. Sad to say, but Andres is working against himself by financially benefitting Ross.
5
@Diana Yes, which he wouldn't have to do if Trump were doing his job, i.e., supporting the citizens of the United States who are in need. Sad to say, but Andres is working against himself by financially benefitting Ross.
I wonder why Amelia Nierenberg did not mention that Chef Jose Andres has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for providing hundreds of thousands of meals to victims of natural disasters, such as in Puerto Rico. Andres is not giving a knee-jerk reaction to Ross's activities on behalf of Trump. Rather, he is dedicated to the most vulnerable among us, the polar opposite of Trump and his policies.
As for Ross, if he really does support good causes, I look forward to him donating to and holding events to benefit those who rise in opposition to Trump's venal policies, including the Democratic candidates for President,
How long shall I hold my breath?
107
Although hindsight is 20-20, and I’m not suggesting the two cases are strictly analogous, one might want to consider the long reach of history when it comes to companies and organizations like Siemens, Bayer, Kodak, IBM, Volkswagen, the Associated Press and others. They all did business with Hitler and the Nazis, profited from those associations and are, to this day, and to varying degrees of their consciences, living with those earlier choices. We are all judged by the company we keep, as further evidenced by those who selected to “do business” with the late Jeffrey Epstein. So, disassociating oneself from one who supports a soulless president who engages in cycle after cycle of racism, xenophobia and bigotry is both a small and a big decision that can have short- and long-term consequences. Like recycling, composting or taking the train instead of flying for the benefit of the planet, so-called political business decisions can be good for our own souls, as well as that of society at large.
15
“I always have been an active participant in the democratic process,” Mr. Ross said in a statement. “I have been, and will continue to be, an outspoken champion of racial equality, inclusion, diversity, public education and environmental sustainability, and I have and will continue to support leaders on both sides of the aisle to address these challenges.”
That is some serious cognitive dissonance right there, folks.
119
Very simple: My consumer spending is entirely my own to use as I see fit. IF I know that my consumer dollar is going to profit a person whose policies I repudiate, I have every right to take my business elsewhere. Harassment? What an outrageous and pretentious claim to make! You put yourself out there as a supporter of someone, that's your choice. Don't you dare blame me for choosing to take my business elsewhere based on my feelings about what issues or candidates a corporation or investor supports. EQUITY has nothing to do with how I spend my consumer dollar, it's entirely my business and decision to make based on whatever factors I choose to employ, full stop. In theory, if there's nothing to be ashamed of OR if you don't think your donations are negative, why would someone want to hide the information? One would think that just as many people could applaud the donations as criticize them. That is, unless, there really IS something shameful about the person or organization one chooses to donate to and support and if I should find that out, I take my business elsewhere as is perfectly and 100% my RIGHT. Don't you all agree, ladies and gentlemen?
67
“I have been, and will continue to be, an outspoken champion of racial equality, inclusion, diversity, public education and environmental sustainability, and I have and will continue to support leaders on both sides of the aisle to address these challenges.”
Unfortunately, Mr. Ross, you can't have it both ways. If you support the President and the current administration, then you support the enemies of everything you say you champion. It's that simple.
229
@DR
Basically he mirrors many of those who support Trump, who claim they aren't racist, don't like the hate and anger, but support Trump because of X,Y and Z (with Ross, comes down to one thing, huge tax breaks fro him and his companies), they talk about how they aren't racist, how they like everyone, they cringe at things Trump says.....but don't feel strongly enough to take a moral stand and denounce Trump, because they like some of the things he is doing...which in the end means they may not be personally racist, but they tolerate those who are. Like the majority of Americans who hated the scourge of lynchings, but somehow didn't hate it enough to press the government to end it, federal laws making it a crime, the way eventually was done in the 1960s,which means a lot of good people were complicit in that evil.The old saying, those who stay silent in the face of evil are themselves responsible for helping propogate and maintain it.
10
It seems to me these chefs are willing to use their words but will not risk their bottom line. And that is their right. Maybe they should just stay out of it.
35
@NYCSANDI
I could say the same thing about Mitch McConnell on the topic of supporting a constitutional democracy.
28
@NYCSANDI
Actually, they do risk their bottom line, a lot of the people who eat at restaurants like these chefs have are not necessarily all that liberal, the very corporate titans who are going to that Trump fundraiser also tend to eat at high end restaurants, so they could be hurting themselves. High end restaurants like that thrive on the ultra rich or corporate expense accounts. Not to mention that if down the road they need financing for a new business, or are seeking new customers, it could hurt them. No, their customers are not Trump nation as we think about it, who likely eat at places a lot more modest, but the customers they do cater to are not necessarily the rich, elite liberals Trump nation thinks they are.
2
@music observer Their customers are probably a mix politically and whatever they do, some will be pleased and others won't.
2
Also, FYI, Chef Andres is a recognized Outstanding Humanitarian, feeding many, many People after natural disasters. With his own Money, and small donations.
A truly great person. Go, Chef.
177
@Phyliss Dalmatian If we had a President, acting on behalf of the people of the United States, who took care of people affected by hurricanes and our immoral border policy, Mr. Andres wouldn't have to do this.
3
I admire them for taking a stand.
43
"'If we are going to start tomorrow breaking with everybody that has relationships or supports people we don’t agree with, we will be living in anarchy,”'Mr. Andrés said."
Or, perhaps justice and peace.
72
Good for these great Chefs, I respect them all. All for the buyers at the “ fundraiser “, let them eat cheap, greasy fast food.
Highly appropriate.
55
@Phyliss Dalmatian Extremely wishful thinking. They will eat better than you could ever imagine.
1
Hmm ... Perhaps it is better for the restaurateurs to avoid making overt political statements and not to mix culinary art with politics.
There could be a more subtle way to criticize Trump, for example, by campaigning against, or banning from the menu, his beloved cheeseburger, devoured while held in the hands.
3
The problem is that the profits they make go to Mr Ross who turns around and uses that money to support President Trump. They would have never taken the money had they known that from the beginning. And how can they go silent? That’s even worse. They are in a tough spot but I applaud them for addressing this and also acknowledging they need to figure it out. Wish more small businesses could be co-ops.
87
@Tuvw Xyz Subtle doesn't cut it with Trump. Anyone who holds different values to his, needs to speak up. I want to know what and who businesses support. That will determine which businesses I will support. This is not the time to be quiet.
26
I think we’re well past the time where subtly in political statements means anything worth while.
8
