Every year, we like to pay homage to the local producers and boutique artisans who work so hard to bring delicious ingredients and food products to our tables via Terra Madre, a Slow Food initiative. This year, we will be hosting a very special Terra Madre dinner at Frank’s Italian American Social Club with illustrious chef Vinny Lauria. Chef Vinny and his restaurant group have always supported local farmers in Hong Kong, and on December 20*, he will be serving a tailor-made Slow Food menu derived from locally grown ingredients, as well as specialties from nearby Yunnan. Hong Kong’s very own farmers — the ones chef Vinny works closely with — have also been invited to dine at the center table. The evening will be dedicated to them.
For the dinner, the vegetables will be from Zen Organic Farm in Hong Kong. The pork will be from local brand Wah Kee Farm. Pumpkin, Truffle, Garlic, and Walnuts will be Yunnan-based produce from J’s Garden. Cheese and Salumi will be made in-house by Frank’s kitchen team. All seafood will be sourced locally.
Seats are limited and the event will also be offered to private members of Frank’s Italian American Social Club.
*Terra Madre Day is traditionally designated on December 10 of each year, but this year our Terra Madre dinner will be held on December 20, 2021.
