That’s Amore: A Homemade Pasta Demo & Tasting
2025-10-16 18:30 - 20:00
When our congenial monger Chad first started at the Deli, he was beginning his vision of living his life as, “an old Italian man who drinks wine and makes salami in his basement.” Well on his way now, Chad is living his dream, in no small part thanks to winning a life-changing Zingerman’s Staff Scholarship! Enjoy a short presentation from Zingerman’s staff Scholarship winner, Chad Hogan, who wrote a vision for selling fresh pasta in Kerrytown–his prize took him to Northern Italy to learn traditional pasta-making techniques from the masters in Emilia-Romagna.
While demonstrating making fresh pasta, Chad will discuss his original scholarship-winning vision for fresh pasta at the Deli, talk about ingredient and material sourcing, tell us about his long-ranging trip to Bologna and beyond, and give an update on his progress here at the Deli and in his home kitchen. We’ll also enjoy a few small plates of Chad’s fresh pasta, dressed simply with ingredients from our Deli’s Specialty Foods department, and a tasting pour of vino as well! Get ready to mangia and chiacchiereremo with Chad!
Your ticket also includes a 20% off coupon and VIP shopping after the tasting (after hours, you’ll be the only ones in the shop!)
Please note: This menu contains gluten, dairy, eggs, pork (Unfortunately, due to the specialty of this menu, we will not be able to make accommodations)
YOUR $55 TICKET INCLUDES:

A wealth of information and great conversation with Deli monger Chad
A guided tasting of several small plates of pasta and a tasting pour of wine
A 20% off coupon to use to shop our Specialty Foods grocery area or online grocery site after the tasting
