"I've read and had a most satisfying taste of Zingerman's Food Philosophy, which makes such a compelling case for the power and pleasure of making purposeful choices for how we eat. Or you can just enjoy eating at any of the Zingerman's businesses and learn from the pros." – Danny Meyer, Founder and Chairman, Union Square Hospitality Group. What makes the food at Zingerman's so special? Why does it stand out from the offerings of so many high-quality competitors? Why, when so many 21st century businesses chase from one trend to the next, has Zingerman's been able to stay so singularly focused on full flavored, traditional food? Why are so many hundreds of Zingerman's staffers so able to give insightful answers about the organization's approach to food and cooking rather than just stand there, smile and nod? We'll explore these questions together with Ari during this tasting that features some of the food that inspired Ari in writing the pamphlet. Pamphlets can be purchased at any Zingerman's business for $20 (including the Deli) if you want to have a read ahead of time. Or purchase one with your tasting ticket for the reduced price of $15. Please note: Not all items enjoyed at this tasting can be made gluten free. Your $45 Event Ticket Includes: An evening of discussion with Ari and the Deli events team about his new pamphlet!
