Pizza Talk: Nancy Silverton, Part 2
The very first stop in our Pizza Quest filming expedition ten years ago was at Pizzeria Mozza, Nancy Silverton’s groundbreaking restaurant in Los Angeles, where a pizza themed menu was elevated to destination fine dining. The pizzas there were — and still are — both creative and exquisite, raising the bar (and now much copied) for what a pizza could be. Nancy is a visionary, whether as the founder of La Brea Breads, or as the opening pastry chef at Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, or as an author, or the winner of numerous James Beard and other awards, or …. well, the list goes on (and we’ll recount much of that journey in these two sessions). Bottom-line, she is a national treasure. Join us in these two fast-paced sessions for a wonderful ride through the life, mind, and times of Nancy Silverton, and you will even hear about her latest (and very exciting) restaurant concept, which opens soon.
