Chef Michael Smith is making holiday shopping for Kansas City food and wine aficionados extra delicious by sharing a few of his favorite things in an extraordinary dinner at his popular Modern Italian restaurant in the Crossroads Arts District.
And to make the evening especially merry and bright, the James Beard Award-winning chef is bringing two award-winning chefs—Michael Kramer of Jianna’s in Greenville, South Carolina, and Wally Joe of Acre Restaurant in Memphis— to help him celebrate the truffles of Alba, Italy, and the wines of Piedmont.
A longtime enthusiast of one of Italy’s most storied food-and-wine regions, Chef Smith features several handcrafted pasta dishes inspired by Piedmont on his acclaimed Farina menu.
“I’m in awe of the food and wine of Piedmont each time I visit the region,” says Chef Smith, who will be honored with an induction into the Order of the Knights of the Truffles & Wines of Alba on November 9 in Alba. “Showcasing the truffles, exceptional because of the climate, and wines that come from Piedmont’s ancient vineyards, is a particular passion of mine and enlisting chefs Kramer and Acre to create this menu is a dream.”
The festive seven-course dinner, which will kick off with passed hors d’oeuvres and feature wines and Champagne pairings designed by Farina general manager and wine director Nancy Smith, will also feature a decadent truffle dessert by Farina pastry Chef Ali Woody. Tennessee musician Elizabeth Wise will provide music.
The Holiday Wish List wine dinner menu is on the Farina website.
