Event Description

“No more excuses”, states star chef Massimo Bottura. Chefs can no longer cook for just the elite, ignoring the ethical issues about feeding the planet. And true to his word he creates an extraordinary soup kitchen in Milan, the Refettorio Ambrosiano, run by Bottura and 60 of the world’s top chefs from high-end dining establishments including Noma, El Bulli and Babbo.

Bread being gold, Bottura's plan is to use the daily discarded food from the 2015 Milan Expo to feed the poor with delicious world class fare in the bottom of an historical theatre.

And the clientele? Most have never heard of the multi-starred chefs who nightly cook their meals, but they do take note of the changes. A beautiful setting, renovated and decorated by Italy’s artists and craftspeople, where they don’t have to line up for their food.

Svatek delivers up a compelling story -- refugees and the homeless being fed by men and women who normally receive exorbitant prices for their fare, who feel some sort of moral duty that they try to express by participating. Svatek explores both sides of the equation with equal weight, getting candid insights from both the clientele and the chefs.
