Amazing Appetizer, Chef Vincenzo Guarino, Il Pievano Restaurant (Si)

The CHIC Association held their national conference in Campania this past week.  Great news for Campania, and great news for me!  A chance to try a Michelin starred chef Vincenzo Guarino specialty.  His appetizer served during a buffet lunch for the press and CHIC associates.

I waited patiently in line along with dozens like me were not only captivated by the colors of Guarino's dish...but by the chef's charisma as well.  Let's take a look...

Black Artemide rice...

Salmon marinated in soy sauce and balsamic vinegar...

Then the chef gingerly placed salicornia, sea asparagus, on top...

Amazing.
