Last Night’s Barbuto Pizzeria in Pictures & Vetri Pizzeria Now On-Sale!

Posted on February 2, 2012 | 2 Comments

Waxy & Schwartzy, manning the oven. What a team!

After a barrel of laughs, a skillet or two of local Swiss chard gratin, and some “JW Chicken” manhandling at last night’s Barbuto Pizzeria with chef Jonathan Waxman, this morning we bring him along for the ride as we head to Grand Cayman for our first Slow Food Day - and some the beach time, of course.  See my behind-the-scenes photos here, and visit the live-of-this-morning Brown Paper Tickets page for Vetri Pizzeria.  Following Gabrielle Hamilton and Jonathan Waxman, the third dinner in our chef pop up series features James Beard Award-winning chef Marc Vetri flying south to share recipes from Rustic Italian Food, his new cookbook.  Enjoy a welcome cocktail, hors d’oeuvre, 4 courses, including a signed copy of the book, tax and gratuity for $160 all inclusive. Gotta run to the airport… More on what we’re up to on-island later, and thanks to everyone at Harry’s and MGFD who made Barbuto Pizzeria a great night!
