Join us for a very special culinary experience celebrating Italian-American Heritage Month at the Albert The Albert at Hotel EMC2, Autograph Collection Hotel EMC2, Autograph Collection.

We’re taking our Crew to The Chef’s Table with David Danielson 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. Register at www.littledinerscrew.com

WHAT IS MOFONGO?

At our next Little Diner's Crew adventure, we're traveling to Puerto Rico via Marina’s Bistro one delicious bite at a time!

One of the iconic dishes our Crew will experience is Mofongo, a Puerto Rican favorite with a history as rich as its flavor.

Made from fried green plantains, mofongo is mashed with fresh garlic, olive oil, and stewed chicken to create a savory dish unlike anything most kids have tasted before.

Traditionally prepared in a wooden mortar and pestle called a pilón, mofongo has a hearty texture and bold flavor that has been enjoyed by Puerto Rican families for generations.
