Speech:
Michael J Cirino will be speaking about the counter culture of underground culinary events and its divergence from restaurants. Specifically, how the freedom of cooking at home creates new boundaries for creativity in cooking and food design, and how modern cooking equipment and techniques allows the highest level of haute cuisine to be created at home.
There will be a photo presentation including plating from prior events and machines that he has reapportioned, designed and/or built to help create the food that serves.
