Todd Graves hosted a three-day US Open takeover across NYC, from a Sept. 11 dinner to the men’s final.
Friday’s Chez Margaux dinner drew Lizzo and Russell Westbrook; Saturday’s Faena brunch drew Jessica Alba.
Sunday’s men’s final suite included Tate McRae, Camila Cabello, Jack Harlow, Dakota Johnson and sombr.
Todd Graves didn’t just attend the US Open. He rented out a chunk of it.
The Raising Cane’s founder ran a three-day hospitality takeover of the tournament’s finals weekend, from Friday, September 11 through Sunday, September 13, moving a rotating cast of celebrities between private dinners, his suite, and parties across Manhattan.
Friday started at members’ club Chez Margaux, where Lizzo, Russell Westbrook, Logan Paul and Mike Maljak sat down alongside the Love Island crew of Melanie Moreno, Aniya Harvey, Zach Georgiou and Kayla Bosse.
Saturday’s brunch at Faena drew Jessica Alba, Rami Malek, Danny Ramirez, and Becky G, who fueled up on Raising Cane’s hand-battered Chicken Fingers before heading to Graves’ suite for the women’s final.

Photos confirm Malek posed with Graves at that Faena gathering ahead of the match. Dinner at Cucina Alba and a Bar CC after-party followed, drawing out Alix Earle, Paul Wesley, Landon Barker and Marcelo Hernandez.
This kind of access has become part of the Graves brand. He ran a similar three-day circuit around this summer’s World Cup final, and outlets have reported stars are increasingly angling for a spot on his guest list.
“Tom Brady and I became friends at the Super Bowl years ago,” Graves told reporters at an August press conference, crediting sports weekends for introducing him to people whose idea of success, he said, tracks with his own.

Back home, the mission is simpler. “I love opening new restaurants, new communities,” he said in December.
