Kim Douglas opened up Jeju Noodle Bar with a mission called ramyum, the Korean version of Japan’s ramen. “No one in my memory has done a fresh version of Korean ramyun,” says Kim, ‘ So, I’m going to make it’! Brilliant idea!
Jeju almost instantly gained a following for its ramyuns like gochu with pork belly and white kimchi swimming in a spicy pork broth, and miyuk featuring a vegetable broth base with braised seaweed, white onion, confit mushroom “nah mul” style and garlic plankton oil, and soon was awarded with one Michelin Star.
How did you become a chef?
I didn’t want to become a chef but when I needed to find work, I worked in the kitchen
Where do you find the inspiration to create a dish?
I find it everywhere. Anything and everything can be an inspiration. You just need an open mind.
How do you express your personality in the kitchen?
I don’t know, but my staff used to call me ‘Vampire’.
What’s a food-movie you loved?
Dinner Rush, because it depicts the NYC restaurant scene that I worked in.
A suggestive place for food in NY?
There are many, but if I had to choose one, it’s Le Bernadin.
You are working on the presentation of an impressive plate. Which Chef may inspire you?
Michel Bras, because his dishes remind me of the beauty of nature.
A recent inquiry among young people says that 50% of the interviewed dreams of becoming chefs. Why do you think about it?
They’re all delusional. I would say 50% wants to become a chef, but my estimate for the dropout rate would be around 95%.
What do you think about some of the chef’s televised battles?
It’s entertaining and gives exposure to the culinary world. However, I hope it doesn’t paint a perfect picture for being a chef because this job is not easy.
Is there a food you love only if cooked by someone else?
Kimchi
A food we will always find in your fridge and one that we will never find.
You will always find fruits. You will never find fish because it’s too perishable to have in my fridge.

I met with Mauro Uliassi, the Chef who won 3 Michelin stars, 5 Cappelli Espresso, 3 Gambero Rosso Forks. Mauro opened the Uliassi Restaurant in Senigallia in 1990, creating a cuisine full of contamination, variations, sensations and memories.

Grand finale with the iconic Salsa di Pomodoro, tomato sauce made from the youngest Chef of the Congress: Maicol Izzo from Michelin star 
Escorted and supported by his dad Michele (that ‘s so Italian…) Maicol created a new kind of bread whose dough has been prepared using the acidula water springing out from the local source. 
The bread must be dipped down into the traditional tomato sauce (more than 6 hours of preparation) and then you’ll taste this heaven…Bravo Maicol!
The unstoppable Mediterranean Cooking Congress will travel soon to Greece, Venice and Sicily, featuring Chefs from 10 different countries!
Capperi… che Pizza!
The info says ‘Nuovo format di pizzeria con pizza gourmet della famiglia Acciaio’.

Throughout the years, the selections have been enriched and expanded to include the new era of gourmet pizza. They offer the highest level of product, bursting with freshness and aroma which translates into positive health benefits and heightened digestibility for the consumer. Each recipe includes detailed information about each ingredient highlighting both origins and methods of preparation.
The result is equilibrated and delicious in every aspect such as the selection of Piennolo DOP cherry tomatoes, preserved in water and salt, torzelle seeds, capers from Salina, tuna and anchovies from Cetara, broccoli rabe from Vesuvius and figs from the Cilento area, 
They cultivate this high quality by working directly with local farmers who are encouraged to grow and harvest their products with extreme respect for nature.
“I realized that the pizza was getting ruined”, says Giuseppe Acciaio, “for the quality not always adequate of the ingredients, but sometimes also for the inability of the pizza makers to manage them at best”. Precisely for this reason, alongside the project of “redevelopment” of pizza, Giovanni Acciaio puts up Pizza Neapolitan Gourmet, a training school for gourmet pizza chefs, in Moncalieri, of which his son Luigi Acciaio is president.
“A pizza maker is not only technical, he must know the products and who produces them, he must study,” says Acciaio. A choice, that of the pizza-maker profession, no longer as a refuge in the face of failures in other fields, but which, on the contrary, becomes a true vocation.

First time I saw Blue Man Group was back in the 80′ in a Small theatre in Lafayette Street in New York.
Finally the 3 blue guys will be performing in Italy !
A typical Blue Man Group show starts with a Blue Man hanging out in the theater lobby as audiences arrive. He is completely bald, completely blue and dressed in black. Ask for an autograph and he will rub his hand across a program to create a blue smudge.
Try to take a picture and he will look at cell phones and cameras with curious wonder. In the theater, the show begins with clanging and flashing lights. The Blue Men create bizarre instruments with their signature plastic tubing. 
They drum amongst themselves and possibly with a band or other backing music. They throw marshmallows into each other’s mouths with alarming accuracy and in logic-defying numbers. A classic Blue Man bit brings an audience member to the stage for an elegant Twinkie dinner with the Blue Men, culminating in hilarious disaster.
At the end of the show, the audience participates in an elaborate toilet paper-throwing ritual. 
All the while, the innocent and childlike Blue Men never break character.
Take note that the first five rows are the “poncho section” — prime placement for those eager to get in on the action and possibly an errant splash of blue paint, too.
1987, known worldwide for its various stage productions which typically incorporate many different categories of music and art, both popular and obscure, in their performances.
Blue Man Group has had multiple national and global tours, appeared on various TV programs as both characters and performers, appeared on the Norwegian Cruise Line ship Epic, released multiple studio albums, contributed to a number of
