Big Night Progressive Cinema Dinner with Anthony Lombardo & John Vermiglio
Food and film. We love them both. Enter Big Night, the Stanley Tucci film set in the 1950s, about two Italian immigrant brothers from Italy who open their dream restaurant in New Jersey and put all of their efforts into one important meal, a feast of a lifetime, for the brothers’ Big Night. Enter frame’s first Progressive Sunday Dinner Club of the New Year, where we pay tribute to Big Night with a film collaboration by Cinema Detroit and a magnificent Italian feast created by Chefs Anthony Lombardo of SheWolf and John Vermiglio of Grey Ghost, re-creating the iconic “timpano” masterpiece, the complicated baked pasta dish you’ll quickly familiarize yourself with once you see the film. We don’t want to spoil the movie outcome or reveal the Chef’s Italian frame dinner menu based on the film… but as they say in love and life, one big night can change everything.
