In the nineteenth century a host of books was published on the subject of the use of the remains in the kitchen.

Irreverent habit for a European, but that does not offend anyone in the United States.

A lot of restaurants host paintings, sculptures and other art objects. It is a beautiful way to help young artists to expose or to show ancient photos with celebrities.

I saw a place in Italy, in a beautiful area full of vineyards (Monagardino, in the province of Bologna) where there is an excellent restaurant, “La Grotta”. There you will find some of the most remarkable design objects, by authors like Meret Oppenheim, Giacomo Balla and Marcel Breuer.

Five generations of extraordinary restaurateurs, wonderful typical bolognese cuisine with some remarkable specialities as the “crescentine” with bolognese antipasti, tagliatelle with ragu, tortellini in brodo or the rice cake, simply divine.

Food that is art in itself.
