Author Matthew Gavin Frank will read from and sign copies of his memoir, BAROLO, chronicling his illegal work in the Italian Piemontese food and wine industry at Blue Bike, Sat., Aug. 7, 1 – 3 pm. Barolo follows Frank during his six-month stay in the same-titled region of Italy (pop. 646), living out of a tent in the garden of the local Pittatore farmhouse. The Chicago-born writer and poet has been cooking and serving his way across the world since he was 17, from breakfast in Alaska to hog snapper in Key West. His current favorite dessert recipe is Revisionist Caprese Salad: basil ice cream, mozzarella syrup, oven-dried sweet tomato, and tomato rock candy.
