Bad press doesn't seem to hurt Dominique Ansel's brand, as someone paid $6,500 for a box of his famous chocolate chip cookie shots last night.
No, it wasn't at the bakery, it was at an auction to raise money for City Harvest, which battles hunger in the New York City. According to Grub Street, that's $812.50 per shot, but it's all for a good cause:
