Dinner
A Bloody
Good Night
The Bloody Good Dinner is back.
Wednesday 23rd of May.
The meat market.
Last year we sold out in three weeks and raised over $400,000. This year we’d like to do it again, raising money for blood cancer and bone marrow failure research. Escape to Chinatown for the evening and enjoy the best New York has to offer, all while raising money for an amazing cause.
Escape
Melbourne
and spend
a night in
chinatown,
NYC
Turn the corner and wander down the neon lit alley. Slip through an unassuming door. Descend into the 1920s.
It’s Chinese Tuxedo and it’s coming to Melbourne.
Having created one of the most popular new Chinese restaurants in New York, renowned chef Paul Donnelly is back in Australia for one night only. His unique style of Chinese cuisine combines traditional ingredients with a modern flair.
With him we’ll have Chinese Tuxedo owner and mixologist, Eddy Buckingham, creating cocktails specifically for The Bloody Good Dinner. That combined with a huge raffle, an auction and more, makes for a night you won’t want to miss.
Paul Donnelly
Executive Chef, Chinese Tuxedo
Paul Donnelly is the executive chef of Chinese Tuxedo. A truly global talent, Donnelly apprenticed under Gordon Ramsay, trained in Bangkok under David Thampson, and was head chef at Ms. G’s in Sydney. Donnelly has always been obsessed with Asian cuisine, and in 2016 relocated to New York to open Chinese Tuxedo with Eddy on historic Doyers Street in Chinatown.
At Chinese Tuxedo, Donnelly pushes the boundaries of New York’s Chinese cuisine, bringing together his years of experience to create classic and modern dishes rooted in traditional Chinese culture.
Eddy Buckingham
Co-Owner, Chinese Tuxedo
Eddy Buckingham is the co-owner of Chinese Tuxedo. Less than two years old, Chinese Tuxedo is already making waves in New York, having received a glowing two-star New York Times review as well as the title of Most Gorgeous Restaurant of the Year for 2017 by Eater.
As well as running Chinese Tuxedo, Buckingham has been Justin Timberlake’s personal mixologist, brand ambassador for Sauza 901 Tequila, and is a consultant for Bluestone Lane Coffee Group. On the night, he’ll be creating customised cocktails for the event.
The Cause
The Bloody Good Dinner is a joint effort between the Snowdome Foundation and Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision.
Last year we raised over $400,000 to conduct a world-first medical research project focused on improving the outcomes of bone marrow transplants.
All the money raised on the night will be going to three very worthwhile causes:
- A Career Development Fellowship in Research for women in haematology.
- The Centre of Research Excellence in Bone Marrow Biology.
- The Australia-wide arm of an international trial to improve survival rates of Follicular Lymphoma patients.
And if you can’t make it on the night, you can still donate to The Bloody Good Dinner at the Snowdome Foundation’s website.

The Auction & Raffle
On the night we’ll have both an auction and raffle, with a range of items and money-can’t-buy experiences on offer. All money raised, including any donation you plan to pledge, helps us fund vital medical research.
