Join Little Diner’s Crew for a very special culinary experience celebrating Italian-American Heritage Month at The Albert at Hotel EMC2, Autograph Collection.
We’re taking our Crew to the Chef’s Table with Chef David Danielson for an unforgettable four-course journey through Italian-American cuisine—created exclusively for Little Diner’s Crew.
This experience is about more than what’s on the plate. Kids will sit at the Chef’s Table, where Chef Danielson will introduce each course, share the stories behind the ingredients and demonstrate how each dish comes together.
And there will be a little culinary magic along the way, including a tableside demonstration of cacio e pepe, where kids will see how something as simple as pasta water, cheese and pepper can transform into one of Italy’s most beloved dishes.
While the kids enjoy their Chef’s Table experience, parents will have their own dining experience at the adult table, making this an afternoon the entire family can enjoy.
Located inside Hotel EMC2, The Albert brings a contemporary approach to Italian-American dining, combining creativity, seasonality and a sense of discovery, making it the perfect setting for our next culinary adventure.
Come hungry. Come curious. Come ready to discover Italy one bite at a time. EAT. TRAVEL. EXPLORE.
