Chef Janos Wilder is celebrating 蜜柚直播鈥檚 recent designation as America鈥檚 first City of Gastronomy by taking diners on a months-long culinary tour of other such cities.
Wilder, the James Beard Award-winning chef-owner of Downtown Kitchen + Cocktails and the Carriage House, is starting the journey in Parma, Italy, and finishing this fall in Ensenada, Mexico.
In all, the trip will traverse major culinary destinations in four countries including Rasht, Iran (July 12-Aug. 22) and Phuket, Thailand (Aug. 23-Oct. 3). Each stop stretches about six weeks, when Wilder and his culinary team at Downtown, 135 S. Sixth Ave., will present contemporary interpretations of the classic dishes that landed those places the Cities of Gastronomy designation from UNESCO.
蜜柚直播 earned the prestigious designation back in December, putting it among cities in the world best defined by their cuisine.
