EVENTS
INTERNATIONAL NEW GENERATIONS
Presented by Alessandro Miocchi, Samuel Mego, Giuseppe Lo Iudice & Molnár Bence
On January 29th, AK Lab opens its doors again, and we are preparing for a truly extraordinary dinner evening. Two culinary heavyweights from Rome are coming to Budapest: Alessandro Miocchi, co-owner and head chef of Retrobottega, and his sous chef Samuel Mego, who will join forces with our head chef, Bence Molnár, for a collaborative dinner.
Alessandro Miocchi and Giuseppe Lo Iudice are the two friends and creative minds behind three of Rome’s most exciting gastronomic destinations: Retrobottega, Miaomiao Kebab and Nudo Artisan Caffé. Their world is built on an almost obsessive mantra of quality - from the careful selection of seasonal ingredients to the choice of innovative kitchen techniques. Every ingredient comes from outstanding producers, presented in an extremely natural and often unexpected form on the plate.
The dinner that the team is preparing will be progressive, new-wave, undeniably international, and truly exciting. Join us on January 29th!
