With so many restaurants in the competition and in front of so many good and passionate colleagues we really didn’t expect it. The secret of our brodetto? The heart, the soul and the local product that we use every day”.
Sight, smell, taste and typicality, as well as respect for the typical local recipe, were the criteria used by the jury in order to decree the winner. With Prof. Corrado Piccinetti, the gastronome and sommelier Otello Renzi presiding, the chef Lucio Pompili: “FuoriBrodetto is a wonderful event that extends the BrodettoFestival experience. It is a very good exercise in the kitchen because it requires a strong manual skill to put this extraordinary product that characterizes the city of Fano on the fire and can very well represent the first reason why tourists decide to come here”.
