Local guest/celebrity chefs frequently contribute one recipe to our menu. Our Chef of the Month for August is Antonio Laudisio from Laudisio in Boulder and his recipe is the delicious Boulder Polenta.
Antonio’s grandfather cooked on the ocean liners coming from Italy in the early 1900’s. He moved his family to New York and opened the first family bakery in Brooklyn. Out of this, the family pizzeria/restaurant tradition emerged, first in Florida and then in Colorado. The first Laudisio opened on the corner of 28th and Iris twenty years ago and then moved to the 29th Street Shopping District in 2006. Antonio says "Through our Italian culture, we respond to the community awareness of real food. We change our menu seasonally to best utilize and reflect the beauty of the Boulder County gardens, waters and farms. We invite you to experience the joy of the Italian table. Cibo Vino Amici: Food, Wine, Friends. What else is there?"
Wine recommendations are provided by Dana Cappelloni of Organic Vintners. (You can learn more about Organic Vintners on our community partners page). In Boulder the recommended wines are available at Ace Liquors next to Whole Foods and Barnes & Noble and at Liquormart at the corner of 15th St. and Canyon Blvd.
