JBF 2016 Trial Dinner at Ganzo
In anticipation for the arrival of the official 2016 JBF dinner in NYC, our Florence brigade will host a trial dinner of the Medici Table menu tonight at Ganzo restaurant. The team has been eagerly preparing in Florence for the cardinal event and are extremely excited to test out their efforts on the public tonight. They will then take their capabilities to NYC to impress the guests at the James Beard Foundation during the 2016 TuttoToscana program. Tonight’s dinner features the Culinary Arts Advanced 2 kitchen brigade and front of house service by Wine and Culinary 1 + 2 students of Apicius International School of Hospitality. We wish the Florence team good luck with tonight’s trial!
“FUA’s 12th consecutive dinner menu at the Beard Foundation is a tribute to the Medici family, a dynasty that dominated the Italian and European political scene from the 15th to 18th centuries. From the early successes of bankers to the rule of Florence and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, three popes, and two queens of France, the Medici contributed to the cultural and artistic innovations in a Florence that witnessed the birth of the Renaissance and significant scientific discoveries. The Medici were based in Florence and built architectural gems throughout Tuscany as seasonal residences. Each dish of the menu represents a Medicean palazzo or villa and the unique traits and flavors of the related territory.”
