Citronelle’s Michel Richard must have gotten the memo that sex sells.
The burly celebrity chef was spotted showing some skin at Saturday’s Starlight Children’s Foundation Gala, where he was assisting with the live auction.
On the auction block was a wine-pairing dinner for 10 at his flagship restaurant, Citronelle, in Georgetown and five rooms at the Four Seasons. Richard’s goal was for the bidding to top $10,000.
“Do I have to take my top off?” Richard asked the audience, and then unbuttoned his black chef’s coat and exposed his bare chest.
The audience loved it, we’re told.
And though Richard exposed no six-pack under his shirt, Yeas & Nays confirmed he indeed met his goal, and the restaurant/hotel package sold for more than $10,000.
