La Pubblica amministrazione sta incontrando qualche difficoltà nell'assunzione di nuovo personale con concorsi, in certi casi, semideserti e con dimissioni frequenti poco dopo la presa di servizio. Il fenomeno è molto marcato nel Nord, meno al Sud. I problemi maggiori soprattutto per le qualifiche più elevate che si scontrano con i bassi stipendi della PA.Ne parliamo con Carlo Mochi Sismondi, presidente FPA - Forum Pa e Franz Caruso, sindaco di Cosenza.

Born and raised in North Kingstown, Kevin got his feet wet in hospitality early on. Starting as a cabana boy at Bonnet Shores Beach Club at just 15, he then worked at a variety of mom and pop spots throughout high school, gaining experience from dishwasher to pizza cook. It wasn't until he graduated, however, that he truly stepped into the restaurant industry. Under the mentorship of Chef Walter Slater at Junction Pizzeria in Wickford, Kevin truly fell in love with cooking and the undeniable adrenaline of the kitchen. While there, Kevin was inspired to enroll in Johnson & Wales' Continuing Education program which afforded him the chance to intern in Italy – an exciting opportunity to connect with his heritage and explore its cuisine. After four months, he returned home where he met his next mentor – and now-collaborator/Giusto General Manager – Aaron Edwards, and joined him at his new restaurant, Trattoria del Corso, as Chef de Cuisine. Here, Kevin's love for Italian food blossomed, but after a year was pulled back to Italy. For two and a half years, Kevin fully immersed himself in Italian culture and cuisine under Chef Lorenzo Polegri at Ristorante Zeppelin in Orvieto. It's here that he first experienced the creativity of freestyle, non-traditional Italian cooking, and Kevin credits this time and Polegri's tutelage with inspiring him to think outside the box while inside the kitchen. Back in the States, Kevin cooked at the famed Castle Hill Inn in Newport and then the Michelin-starred Del Posto in New York City. Opportunity again came knocking, and he headed back across the pond, this time to Paris. As Executive Chef, Kevin opened L'Office, a tiny bistro that garnered rave reviews and recognition both locally and internationally for its melding of French and Italian cuisine. In 2012, Kevin joined forces with the owners of The Salty Pig in Boston and developed its pasta program. Three years later, the team collaborated on a brand new restaurant concept, and in June 2016 opened SRV with co-chef Michael Lombardi. The Venetian-style Bacaro and wine bar was an immediate success, earning a 4-star review from Boston magazine, James Beard Award nomination, and continued critical acclaim since. Now, Kevin returns home with his high school sweetheart, Sarah, and young son to open his first independent restaurant concept in Newport. Giusto is a labor of love where familiar flavors come together in creative ways for a fun dining experience. Check out episode 269 with Kevin O'Donnell as mentioned in today's episode.

MJ's guest is seasoned sommelier, wine educator and founder of Volcanic Selections, Jeff Porter. Jeff has been featured in numerous major food and wine publications, such as The New York Times, Los Angeles Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, Eater and The Financial Times. Jeff's sommelier career began in Napa Valley, where he worked at Tra Vigne Ristorante in St. Helena. He joined the Bastianich Hospitality Group in 2009 at Osteria Mozza under the auspice of James Beard Award winning chef Nancy Silverton. In 2011 he moved to New York to become the wine director for Del Posto. In 2014, Jeff became the Beverage Operations Director, overseeing the beverage programs for Babbo, Del Posto, Esca, Lupa, Otto, Babbo Pizzeria and more. In 2019, Jeff left the Bastianich group and began his consulting career and a web series about wine, life, and culture called Sip Trip. And in 2020, Jeff opened Volcanic Selections, an import and distribution business. Outside of beverages, Jeff is an avid at-home cook, doting father, passionate traveler, and a lover of all things barbecue.Jeff's passion for food and wine comes through, literally, in this episode. Jeff is the first guest to bring a meal - burger and fries - to accompany his wine selection of A 2019 Dolcetto D'Alba and a 2013 Henskens Rankin of Tasmania Brut Rose'. Neither disappoint. Originally from Texas, Jeff understands a good meal, and it wasn't until his college days - working at a German restaurant as a dishwasher - did he start to understand wine and all its beauty and complexities. MJ and Jeff have only just begun with this conversation, tackling items one by one such as how Jeff went from a small suburb north of Dallas to the inner city of Los Angeles working as a teacher for Teach for America, right out of UT-Austin. Jeff talks about the inspiration he gained from his father who gifted him WINE by Hugh Johnson; his time at Tra Vigne Ristorante and how he learned he had one job: make people happy; essentially throwing a party each and every night. It's Part 1 with Jeff Porter, and it's a juicy one. A huge thank you to Jeff Porter!

Le indagini sulla morte di un 23enne di origini albanesi, risalente alle 17 di venerdì, hanno preso una piega diversa dall'ipotesi della prima ora. Sembra che il ragazzo fosse appena sceso da un treno regionale e si dirigesse verso a casa, in superficie, senza utilizzare il sottopasso. E' stato travolto da un Eurocity, mentre attraversava con indosso delle cuffiette.

On this episode of Tasting Notes, we welcome Steve Morgan, wine sommelier and Midwest Regional Sales Manager for The Sorting Table. We start off by discussing our favorite local wine shop, Bottle Up! and why he started Champagne Happy Hour. Then we move right into some of Steve’s favorites:Wine #1:Producer: Waris HubertName: AlbescentVintage: --Variety: ChardonnayCountry: FranceRegion: ChampagneSteve and I chat about whether or not champagne is still good after it loses its bubbles, what food to pair it with (pizza, fries, caviar?), and how to break the cycle of only drinking it during celebrations. As we dive into tasting the Waris Hubert, which comes after my candid thoughts on what denotes a classic American chardonnay. When smelling this first wine, Steve notices citrus, granny smith apple, and pear notes. When tasting it, Steve describes a somewhat baked quality, like white baking flour, with a white floral note. This wine has a bit of weight to it, but is punchy, acidic, bright, energetic, and very crisp. Wine #2:Producer: Vigne Marina CoppiName: FaustoVintage: --Variety: TimorassoCountry: ItalyRegion: PiedmontOur next wine is a Timorasso from another family-owned business in the Piedmont region of Italy, where there’s an influence from the Mediterranean that adds a saltiness to all of their white wines. The timorasso grape has a natural tannin and ability to age. This Fausto is pretty high in alcohol, coming in at 14.5%, but you’re not going to taste how alcoholic it is. It’s not fruity… it has significant body and tannin to it but it’s super layered and textured, with minerality, saltiness, richness, and ripping acidity. This one truly blew my mind. Wine #3:Producer: Rizzi WineryName: Barbaresco RizziVintage: 2015Variety: NebbioloCountry: ItalyRegion: PiedmontBefore tasting the third wine, Steve explains the difference between a Barolo and a Barbaresco and tells the story behind the family that created the Barbaresco Rizzi. Nebbiolo wines are also not as fruit-based. There’s definitely fruit there, but when you put your nose in it, it smells leathery, mushroomy, earthy, and musty, with notes of red and purple flowers. There’s also a bright, orangey acidity to the wine with notes of black and red fruit. It has a soft mouth feel, almost melting in my mouth. It also has an orange, brassiness color to the edge of the wine, an indicator that you have a wine from the Nebbiolo grape.About Steve MorganSteve Morgan is the Midwest Regional Sales Manager for The Sorting Table, which is an importer, marketer, and distributor of wines. Steve’s views on wine were really defined by his time working with Elisabetta Foradori at Foradori Winery during her switch over to biodynamic farming. Steve has worked as a Sommelier at Del Posto, Dressler, Tribeca Grill, and Alinea, and created the ‘Best Medium Sized Wine List in the World’ according to the World of Fine Wine at Formento’s.

Born in the north of Israel, Lior spent the beginning of his life living with his family across Europe. He returned to Israel at age 10 where he quickly learned that the best food in Israel was not at restaurants but in people's homes where the flavors of their origin countries combined with the Middle East. Though his path to the spice kingdom began after completing three years as a sergeant of the Israeli army. Lior traveled to South America where his exposure to new cultures and cooking further developed a passion for the culinary world. Upon returning to Israel, Chef Gil Frank gave him his first job and after three years encouraged him to take the next step.

When news broke that executive chef Melissa Rodriguez was becoming a partner at the much-lauded Del Posto in the wake of Mario Batali's divestment, a cheer went up from folks in the know.

Dustin Plantholt’s “Life’s Tough—You Can Be Tougher” podcast this week features Lidia Bastianich, Emmy award-winning television host, best-selling cookbook author and successful restaurateur. Lidia shares her early life raised under a communist regime to how she blended her life passions—family and food—to create multiple culinary endeavors alongside her two children, Joseph and Tanya. Lidia Bastianich was born Lidia Giuliana Matticchio in 1947, in Pula, Istria when the city was still part of Italy, before it was assigned to Yugoslavia (which is now Croatia). Her family lived nine years under Marshal Tito’s Communist regime in Yugoslavia. In 1956 Lidia’s father Vittorio sent his wife and their two children to visit relatives in Trieste, Italy, while he remained in Istria to comply with the government’s mandate that one member of a family remain in Yugoslavia to ensure that the rest would return. About two weeks later, Vittorio himself left Yugoslavia, daringly crossing the border at night into Italy. The Matticchio family reunited in Trieste, Italy, joining other families who had claimed political asylum from Communist Yugoslavia and remained in a refugee camp for the next two years. In 1958 the family’s displaced persons application was granted to emigrate to the U.S. and 12-year-old Lidia and her family moved to North Bergen, New Jersey and later Queens, New York. That is where Lidia developed and nourished her love of Italian cuisine and sharing it with family. A top-selling cookbook author, Lidia’s cookbooks, co-authored with her daughter Tanya, include Lidia’s Celebrate Like an Italian, Lidia’s Mastering the Art of Italian Cuisine, Lidia’s Commonsense Italian Cooking, Lidia’s Favorite Recipes, Lidia’s Italy in America, Lidia Cooks from the Heart of Italy, and Lidia’s Italy—all companion books to the Emmy winning and four-time nominated television series Lidia’s Kitchen, Lidia’s Italy in America and Lidia’s Italy. Lidia’s most recent book is her memoir: My American Dream: A Life of Love, Family, and Food. A successful restaurateur, Lidia is the owner/co-owner of three acclaimed New York City restaurants ‐ Felidia, Becco and Del Posto. Along with her daughter Tanya, she owns Lidia’s Kansas City, as well as Felidia. She is also a partner in Eataly NYC, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Sao Paolo, Brazil. In addition, Lidia has developed a line of artisanal pastas and all-natural sauces, LIDIA’S, which are sold at fine food stores nationwide Holding true to her Italian roots and culture, she proudly invites her fans to experience “all that is Italy.”

Having worked as a sommelier at Babbo and then building the list as Wine Director at Del Posto, Morgan Rich has become one of the most well-versed people in the world of Italian wine.

In this episode, Morgan tells Joe about his decision to switch gears in his career after reaching the high water mark that was his role at Del Posto and shares his insight into the past, present, and future of Italian wine.

"Executive chef Melissa Rodriguez talks in depth for the first time about what it feels like to work under the shadow of a parent company rocked by sexual assault and misconduct charges.

Come nella puntata precedente, anche in questa abbiamo un paio di ‘ospiti’: due persone affezionate a Pardes che partecipano con un messaggio preregistrato. E anche questa volta siamo al castello di Udine.La disintegrazione del posto fisso è un fenomeno in atto ormai da anni. Ma non ha a che fare solo con il lavoro. Ha a che fare anche con un cambiamento epocale in atto, con il nostro tempo e con la nostra necessità di formazione continua.Se vogliamo resistere a questi stravolgimenti, forse non basta dare fiducia a noi stessi. Dobbiamo anche dare fiducia anche al futuro.Il posto fisso riveste un suo fascino perché dà ancora un’illusione di stabilità e certezza. Ma nulla è mai certo. Ci sono sempre più persone per le quali, nei luoghi di lavoro, conta la soddisfazione personale e addirittura la propria evoluzione. Cioè, conta che cosa “si diventa” all’interno di un ruolo professionale.Al posto di lavoro stabile in un contesto, c’è chi preferisce costruire un proprio futuro pianificando e attuando una formazione parallela. A volte, plasmando addirittura una nuova professione che segue desideri personali.Il primo ospite parla di due tipi di obsolescenza. La prima è quella del posto fisso, cioè il lavorare tutta la vita nello stesso posto oppure lo svolgere per tutta la vita la stessa attività. La seconda riguarda invece il concetto stesso di professionista. Quello del 21° secolo che deve avere come bagaglio inevitabile alcune competenze un tempo considerate optional.Il secondo ospite invece ci racconta la visione di un futuro entusiasmante. Un futuro dove il lavoro è un luogo flessibile che ci permette di goderci il frutto condiviso dell’intelligenza artificiale, produrre sapere collaborativo, istruirci e impollinarci a vicenda, costruire nuovi lavori per nuove esigenze che - forse - ancora non vediamo.…Continuiamo insieme la conversazione nel gruppo dei Pardesiani su Facebook a questo indirizzo:www.facebook.com/groups/pardesiani

Last week, I promised that you'd get to hear why Mark Ladner decided to walk away from Del Posto, which was awarded four stars by the New York Times, to open a fast-casual pasta joint, and this week I make good on that promise.  In this week's episode, Ladner and I discuss how he came up with the idea for his start-up, Pasta Flyer, and the challenges specific to figuring out how to make a good pasta that cooks up fast. He also reflects on how the experience is a kind of culmination of all the work he's done and everything he's been through in his life to date, from his first cooking jobs in the 1980s to working for Mario Batali, and how he considers his long and successful career in fine dining "a detour." As Ladner says, "I don't know how I necessarily got here, but this is what I was supposed to do." But there's more (as there always is on Special Sauce): Ladner lets us in on the answers to some last-supper questions–who'd be invited, what they'd have–and the surprising dish he cooks up for himself after a long day slinging pasta.

In the first of my two-part interview with chef Mark Ladner, we focus on his indirect yet hard-earned path to helming Del Posto, the New York Times four-starred restaurant he ran for twelve years. And why did the only chef to earn those four stars by cooking Italian food leave that palatial restaurant kitchen to open up a fast-casual joint where the pasta cooks in ten seconds? Framed against this cosmic question, he speaks volumes about where food is headed in America in his typically low-key and thoughtful way. You'll have to wait until next week's episode to hear the answer in its entirety, but it's worth the wait. 

The Front Burner returns after our fall hiatus with Mark Ladner, who's moving on from his perch as chef of the four-star Del Posto to launch Pasta Flyer, a fast-casual concept he's been developing for years. Mark shares the rigors of the fine-dining life, the Kickstarter experience he undertook to fund his new venture, and whether or not he's got butterflies in his stomach as he prepares to take the leap. In our second segment, with one week til inauguration, we discuss the pros and cons of chefs going political.

Chef Mark Ladner joins Dorothy Cann Hamilton for a special interview on Chef’s Story, recorded at the USA Pavilion at Expo Milano 2015! Chef Ladner touches on his childhood, his formative food memories, his career trajectory and his advice for aspiring chefs. He also explains what drove him to open his pop-up gluten-free pasta concept, Pasta Flyer. Mark Ladner is the James Beard award winning chef of Del Posto. Chef Ladner’s education began in Cambridge, MA at independently owned and operated pizza counters, followed by formal culinary schooling at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island. He moved to NYC in the early 90’s and worked with several well-regarded restaurateurs, before meeting Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich and opening Babbo Ristorante as Sous Chef in 1998. Ladner has since opened Lupa Osteria Romana (1999), Otto Enoteca Pizzeria (2002) and Del Posto (2005) as Chef/Partner at each restaurant. Mark co-authored Molto Gusto (Ecco, 2010) with Mario Batali. This program was brought to you by Whole Foods Market. “I really truly believe that as long as you can make food taste the way that you like, I don’t think you need to spend a tremendous amount of time continuing to polish your culinary skills. You can waste a lot of time spelunking down the rabbit hole for culinary greatness when, in this day and age, from an entrepreneurial and business perspective there’s such a broad range of skill sets necessary to be successful in this industry. Spending too much time trying to perfect a bite of food might not be the best use of your time.” [11:00] “Once you have your own kitchen it doesn’t necessarily mean you stop learning.” [22:00] “There are two things I’m adamant about. One is a monkish devotion to pasta – specifically the cooking and saucing of rather than the making or stuffing of. The execution in the last several minutes is something people don’t spend enough time obsessing over. Two is knowing it’s important to remove as much variable for error from the equation before service so you can just focus on service.” [30:00] “I don’t consider myself to be an elitist person. I need a part of me that’s able to embrace a more populist culture.” [46:00] –Mark Ladner on Chef’s Story

He excelled there and was soon buying wine for the shop and traveling throughout Europe. Porter then moved to the West Coast where he first worked for a wine distributor in the Bay Area and then served as Wine Director at Tra Vigne Ristorante in St. Helena, where his passion for wine and hospitality took off. Most recently, Jeff held the positon of Beverage Director at Osteria and Pizzeria Mozza in Los Angeles. He moved to New York City in March of 2011 to head up the beverage program at Del Posto. He is recognized as an “Advanced Sommelier” by the Court of Master Sommeliers and is currently a candidate for the “Master Sommelier” designation. This program was brought to you by Michter’s. “I always call Italy the newest oldest wine region in the world. Obviously they’ve been making wine forever but they had to figure things out. Post World War II, Italy was super poor – even through the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. It wasn’t until the 90’s that people started seeing money in wine.” [19:00] –Jeff Porter on In the Drink

Both guests relate on the trials and tribulations of work in the culinary realm as well as the differences between being hands-on with their food versus managing employees. Letting others help with the work is something that the chefs agree is a necessity for success. After the break, Julia chats with the guests about their support systems as well as Brooks’ recent book, Fancy Desserts. Julia also asks what we can expect from both in the future before signing off with the Radio Cherry Bombe rapid fire quiz!

Fundamentally, as a chef and a consumer it really comes down to the taste of the product.” [5:44] “You have a couple of options as a young cook starting out. You can work and then party and not do anything in between, or can work and read and you can figure out, “alright I overcooked this, why did I do it.”… So, maybe that helped propel me faster.” [9:13] “You can't just say I cook food and I'm a chef. We are responsible for the entire dining experience.” [13:46] –Josh Laurano on The Main Course

Jamie Kaloustian is the wine and beverage director of the Michelin Star, award winning, Dovetail Restaurant in New York City. On this episode of In the Drink, Jamie talks with Joe about getting her start in the industry, following her passion for food and wine, and her role as Wine Director at a prestigious restaurant in New York City. Beginning her New York City restaurant career about eight years ago, Jamie moved here without a job to live and work in New York City. Armed with a Bachelor’s in meteorology from Embry-Riddle in Florida, her next step was a career in restaurants to pay off the burgeoning student loans. At the now shuttered Dona in Mid-town Manhattan, she waited tables until she had dinner at Eleven Madison Park and applied for a server position immediately after that amazing dinner. Needless to say, the experience of working with such a great chef and wine program was humbling. She left there as a captain to work at Daniel, as one of their bartenders. Again, a humbling experience. The cocktail program, wine list, cuisine and service were all exceptional and she learned a great deal about the industry. Next step, she opened Lincoln Ristorante as a Captain. This experience was especially new to her, simply because she never opened a restaurant, in any state, and she never worked in a restaurant where the list focused mainly on Italian wines. As a result, she stayed almost two years before leaving for a Bartender job that eventually led to a sommelier position at Del Posto. She worked with Aaron as both a captain and a wine captain at Lincoln, and learned much about salesmanship and Italian wine. Thus, she credits the experience at Lincoln as a springboard to working at Del Posto. Finally, when she heard Dovetail was looking for a Wine / Beverage Director, she took the plunge and decided that she wanted to write her own list in the city, after working alongside so many great sommeliers and their respective wine programs. Originally from Rhode Island, she worked in restaurants toward the end of High School and throughout college (to include Florida). No matter what goals she was trying to achieve, Jamie always gravitated back to restaurant work, thanks to her passion for wine and creating cocktails. This program has been sponsored by Rolling Press. “You learn so much when you start from the ground up. You’re not the new person. It was really fun to be a part of that.” [11:50] “I think what we do is an art, not a science. I want everyone’s opinion, because ultimately they are the ones that eat at this restaurant as well.” [23:00] — Jamie Kaloustian on In the Drink

This week on Chef’s Story, Dorothy speaks with Brooks Headley, Head Executive Pastry Chef at Del Posto in New York City. Tying together his early passion for music and drumming with food and dessert, he talks with Dorothy about performing as both a musician and a chef, finding his start reading cookbooks, and utilizing his Italian roots as an inspiration in his dishes. In May of 2013, Headley won the prestigious “Outstanding Pastry Chef” from the James Beard Foundation for his work at the New York restaurant, Del Posto. As a recent graduate, he tells Dorothy of his story finding a job as a file clerk after graduation, and ultimately ditching the suit and tie and finding a job at cooking at Galileo da Roberto Donna. Eventually, Headley moved on to work at The Ritz-Carlton and Tosca, and to Los Angeles where he spent time in the kitchen under master bread baker Nancy Silverton at Campanile. Unable to stay away from the East coast, Headley crossed the country again to return to DC, this time to assume a position at acclaimed Komi, where he ran the pastry program. He made his New York debut briefly at Compass, where he became known for imaginative renditions of classic desserts, as in his signature deconstructed key lime pie. But as soon as he discovered that Del Posto was in need of a pastry chef, he leaped at the opportunity to join the Batali-Bastianich family, work under Executive Chef Mark Ladner, and return to his Italian roots. Learn more about Brooks Headley’s story and inspiration, and the latest desserts that he continues to explore and invent today. Looking to step up your dessert and pastry game?

Since assuming charge of the restaurants—and taking on a very proactive role in their standards of sustainability, environmentalism, and organics—Chef Molina has earned three stars from the LA Times.

Very soon after receiving our 4th star, Brooks and I were so beside ourselves, we really didn't know quite how to digest it and I don't think we have figured it out to this day.” “Italian food for many reasons has never been perceived as being capable or deserving, at least in the Manhattan community, of a 4-star rating.” — Mark Ladner, Executive Chef of Del Posto Restaurant “I started making desserts completely by accident, it was never a planned thing.” “When it comes down to it, the guest who comes in isn't looking to check out the ego of a kitchen, they just want to have an awesome time.” “My desserts are completely Italian, though they might not be something you'd see in Italy. The inspiration, flavors and presentation are 100% Italian.
