About the event 🧡
There is a park most New Yorkers have never been to. It has a 60-foot cliff, no tourists, and on May 16 it has an Italian chef building a fire.
Chef Francesco Amenta will teach you the Italian ritual of the perfect bistecca. Salt. Fire. Rest. Nothing else. You will fire up the grill yourself, learn when to flip and when to wait, and eat what you made with people you just met in Morningside Park on a Saturday morning.
This is not a cooking class in a studio. This is open fire, fresh air and a skill that impresses every dinner table you will ever sit at.
