BISTECCA TUSCAN STEAKHOUSE

Rare Butchery and Dining Experience – 17 April, 7pm
The highlight of Bistecca’s World Gourmet Summit programme will be a showcase of the craftsmanship of traditional butchery on 17 April, by Dario Cecchini and fellow Tuscan Chef Francesco Mansani. For one night only, Dario will expertly butcher a whole leg of beef in just ten cuts. An intimate gathering of diners will be enthralled as the primal act of butchery is matched by Dario the master raconteur as he imparts his often-surprising knowledge, fascinating stories and a little Dante. The Butcher of Panzano and Chef Francesco Mansani will prepare a feast from carving knife to steak knife in front of their eyes. As each course is presented for diners to enjoy, Dario’s philosophy comes to light as they discover that every cut of beef is delicious in the hands of a true artisan.
