Upgrade your menu with cheeses that go beyond mozzarella and Parmesan. We’ve assembled a panel of creative chefs who will talk about the experiments they conducted with new cheeses, what’s worked well and how to add them to the menu in a way that boosts profits. The panel includes Theo Kalogeracos, who runs Theo and Co. Pizzeria in Perth, Australia, and has written two pizza cookbooks; Laura Meyer, a past winner at the International Pizza Challenge and at the Italian competition in Parma and currently the regional corporate chef for the Pizza Rock group of restaurants under Tony Gemignani; and Tim Silva, our 2015 Pizza Maker of the Year and the menu guru at the Pizza My Heart chain in Northern California. The moderator is Ed Zimmerman, founder of TheFoodConnector.com, a website devoted to foodservice sales and marketing.
