Chef Nick Stefanelli – Bibiana e la mia casa

Discovering that special place where comfort in great food, wine and friends are never short in supply, can be a challenge and sometimes impossible. If you haven’t found yours, meet me at mine – – Bibiana. I’ve never been one to just “hang out” but, I guess the frequency level of my being at Bibiana qualifies as “Hanging Out.” This past Friday between courses, I made my way to the kitchen and got a few shots of Executive Chef Nicholas Stefanelli as he brought another great meal to life. We both agreed and interview is overdue but, the food and wine keep getting in the way. Stay tuned…..we’ll make it happen soon. By the way, I usually avoid desserts but, Pastry Chef, Douglas Hernandez has me hooked on his Torta del finanziere. This dessert isn’t always on the menu so, always order two if you’re lucky enough to be there when it’s on the menu. I had to wait several months — Good Luck!!!
