SUMMER DRINK&EAT FESTIVAL 2013: "VERY GOOD"

They breathe a sigh of relief to the organizers of the event, which again this year lived up to expectations. Despite an African heat, the really large audience crowded the hall where the competition between bartenders was held, who competed "in the dark" having to improvise at the moment. Great fun and cheerfulness, bubbly atmosphere as the day's presenter Corrado Gualazzini called it, a competition marked by creativity and technique. It is not easy to improvise a good cocktail without first knowing either the theme or the ingredients provided, it takes a lot of experience, creative flair alone is not enough. The results however satisfied the jury who decreed:







1* absolute prize , Velier Prize : TEO RIZZOLO ( One-week trip to visit BRUGALL in the Dominican Republic) RG30 year prize : PAOLO SANNA Emerging prize: GIUSEPPE TESTA Invention Award : MATTEO MINGHETTI RGMANIA Award : LORENZO SCAGLIA Musetti Award : SILVIA GHIONI ISI modern mixology award : DAVIDE MINERVINO ISI best pairing award : DIEGO FERRARI AND LUCA ANGELI The most coveted prize of 1 week in the Dominican Republic was provided by Velier and numerous high prizes offered by RG and sponsors: Accademia Bormioli, Ballarini, Trabo, Caffè Musetti, Vetreria Borgonovo. Much appreciated were the speeches by sponsors 100x100 Chef, Ceado and Ballarini with their workshops:sponsors who renew their trust in the event and RG Commerciale every year. Once again, the SUMMER DRINK&EAT FESTIVAL did not fail in its intent, which is to offer industry professionals a day different from those of many other competitions, bringing together various aspects of the HO.RE.CA world: bartenders, chefs, companies, food and wine professionals, producers and enthusiasts. A truly rare occasion in the panorama of industry events that offers insights for exchange, professional growth, bringing awareness of novelties and technologies. Amazing the intervention of Dario Comini who showed the technique to spherify a "smoke bubble," completely similar to a soap bubble. Excellent practical and logistical organization entrusted



ta to the Drinkable company, undoubtedly one of the most qualified on the national scene, which availed itself of the collaboration of the companies Duni, Caffè Musetti and Ghiaccio Express and the support of Bartender.it. Even "patron" Giorgio Negri is smiling in the photo, despite his fatigue, which was well rewarded by the satisfaction of all participants.
