If there are two things Italy is known for, they are espresso and pasta.<\/p>\n
Espresso and pasta are truly Italy\u2019s gifts to the world, and they are the basis of a new event series from La Marzocco<\/a>. Teaming up with renowned cookbook author Joshua McFadden<\/a>, La Marzocco is hosting four Espresso & Carbonara brunches<\/a> throughout the month of December to celebrate McFadden\u2019s favorite pairing.<\/p>\n Most known for the James Beard Award-winning cookbook Six Seasons: A New Way With Vegetables<\/em>, McFadden is soon to release his third book, Six Seasons Of Pasta: A New Way With Everyone’s Favorite Food<\/em>. As the story goes, when working on the new cookbook McFadden would fuel up with shots of espresso from his Linea Mini, which he discovered paired bizarrely well with a decadent carbonara; he even went so far as to call it his favorite brunch.<\/p>\n Thus was born the idea of the Espresso & Carbonara brunch. Making stops in Portland, Minneapolis, Madison, and Milkwaukee, in an interview with La Marzocco McFadden describes the brunch series as \u201cnothing fussy [or] overthought. Just good pasta, good espresso, and good people.\u201d He also describes it as part of his agenda to make carbonara a breakfast food. Do with that information what you will.<\/p>\n For the events, each location will have an espresso and carbonara pairing on their specials menu as well as having Six Seasons of Pasta<\/em> available for purchase, with McFadden being on hand to autograph. The dates and locations are as follows:<\/p>\n Dec. 6: Portland, OR \u2013 Pal\u2019s<\/a><\/u>\u00a0(in partnership with Coava Coffee<\/a><\/u>) Ticketing requirements vary from event to event and reservations are strongly suggested.
