Claudio Liu, Italian-Chinese patron at restaurant Iyo in Milan, was one of the participants in the discussion on restaurants – coordinated by Paolo Marchi – at Expo delle Idee, organised in Milan last 7th February. Tomorrow a second event will take place, in view of the creation of the Carta di Milano, this time at the Ministry guided by Maurizio Martina. We will soon give you a detailed report on this
Sitting at the Round Table organised by the Ministry for Agricultural Policies and, in particular, at the table "Aggiungi un posto a tavola: la ristorazione di domani", dedicated to the future of restaurants and coordinated by Paolo Marchi, was a very interesting and stimulating experience. The opportunity for confrontation with other professionals, each one with their business philosophy, their vision of food and the restaurant industry, let some complex themes emerge as well as visions that were sometimes opposite. I strongly appreciated the fact there weren’t only restaurateurs at the table, and, even among restaurateurs, different ideals were represented. During the discussions, a difference immediately emerged between those who stay in the kitchen and suppliers: needs don’t always match, objectives sometimes collide. When illustrating the criticalities in our sector and some useful proposals for Carta di Milano, internationally acclaimed chefs such as Massimo Bottura and Carlo Cracco manifested the need of an intervention on behalf of institutions to make it easier to get young people involved in the kitchen through internships; emerging chefs such as Antonia Klugmann restated the link with the territory and the influence this has in the choice of ingredients; entrepreneurs representing Electrolux and Alce Nero livened up the debate, shifting the attention to the need of a more modern approach in the management of suppliers and in the organisation.
