BIG NIGHT with Pino Posteraro | Cinema to Savour
By Kwaku Adu-Poku
On Monday, July 12th, at 7pm the Chefs' Table Society of BC is proud to present Big Night with acclaimed chef Pino Posteraro at the Vancity Theatre. This will be the first of four regionally inspired nights of fine dining and fine cinema in their Cinema to Savour series. The night will consist of a screening of the movie Big Night, paired with the finest Italian finger food courtesy of Posteraro and chef John Bishop of Bishop's Restaurant. With good food also comes good wine courtesy of Burrows, Luongo & Associates, as well as local craft beer from R & B Brewing Co.
You may know Posteraro as not only the president of Chef's Table Society of BC, but also the man at the helm of Cioppino's Mediterranean Grill & Enoteca in Yaletown, and a soon to be inductee into the Distinguished Restaurants of North America hall of fame. His restaurant Cioppino's has been voted the best formal Italian restaurant by Vancouver Magazine for 8 years running, and won restaurant of the year in 2009. Posteraro also won not only chef of the year in 2008, but also a 2005 award of excellence from the Accademia Della Cucina Italiana, a cultural institution devoted to Italian food. This man is legit.
Big Night
USA, 1995, 107 min
DIR: Campbell Scott
Big Night tells the story of two brothers running a failing Italian restaurant in New Jersey who gamble it all on one special night to try and turn things around. The film stars Stanley Tucci, Isabella Rossellini, Ian Holm, and Tony Shalhoub.
Tickets are $75, which includes the film screening, possibly the finest food you've ever eaten, great libations to go with it, a signed copy of the Society's new cookbook Vancouver Cooks 2, and some face time with the celebrity chef himself. Proceeds go towards supporting and fostering a new generation of BC chefs committed to sustainability and forging long lasting relationships with local farmers and fishermen. Good food and a good cause.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.viff.org/theatre, or in person 30 before the event begins. For more info, you can also call the film info line at 604.683.FILM (3456).
Big Night will definitely be a night to remember!
