The (greedy) alphabet of 2020 – Italian Cuisine – Italian Cuisine

From A to Z: clubs, chefs and trends of a unique year (for better or for worse) for food & drink. Here's what's left and we'll bring (only the best, hopefully) after New Year's Eve …

Let's face it: by instinct, almost everyone at midnight on January 31 – to be spent strictly at home or at most in a hotel room – will hope that 2020 will be forgotten, totally and as soon as possible.

But resilience requires that you always have to find something positive. Even in a terrible time, where insiders have always faced (and are facing) the worst crisis of the post-war period and food & drink enthusiasts have been deprived, more or less half of the time, of their favorite places or places they wanted. to discover. This is why we decided to relive – in an alphabet, very personal and not necessarily shared – clubs, chefs and trends of the year that is about to go to the archive. With the hope that re-reading the article in a few years, some terms will be a bad memory and others will make you smile.

Auguroni (greedy, of course) from all of us.
