Timothy Cardinal Dolan was unsatisfied by the finger foods served at the Met Gala on Monday night. On his Sirius XM show, he explained that he had to “tip the waiter to go out and get me a couple of hot dogs from the cart outside the museum,” because the food at the $30,000-a-head even wasn’t cutting it.
“It’s one of those like where you needed magnifying glasses and tweezers,” he said of the gala’s hors d’oeuvres, according to New York Post. “I kept trying to eat with my fork and it would fall through the prongs.
He went on to say that he ate three peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches when he got home. Even though it seems like he was probably hungry for most of the night, Dolan said it was a “great evening.” Dolan was invited to the evening’s events by organizers because this year’s gala heralded the Met’s new exhibit on Catholic influences in popular fashion.
According to New York Post, Dolan said all the guests, most of whom are celebrities, were very kind and though he did see some things that were in “poor taste,” he didn’t see anything “sacrilegious” or think anyone was trying to be offensive.
“They were sure good to me, they were sure kind to me,” he said, according to New York Post. “A number of people came up to speak about their Catholic upbringing. It was a powerful evening.”
