The World Cup of Fine Dining: The Italian-French Connection
Dining with Chef Damiano Ferraro in Agrigento, Sicily
Chef Marc Vogel with Chef Damiano Ferraro at “Baglio della Luna”
If Italy is shaped like a boot, then Sicily is its soccer ball. Zoom out and you’ll see France situated as the player’s body– okay, enough of the Rorschach-ian Inkblot World Cup metaphors. What I can tell you is that Chef Damiano Ferraro has brought the French cooking technique to Italy– specifically to the seaside town of Agrigento on the southern coast of Sicily. Born in Sicily and apprenticed in some of Europe’s finest kitchens, Chef Ferraro brings a wonderful balance of fresh Sicilian product and French technique to the diner’s at “Baglio della Luna.” Listen in as we go to Sicily!
