The GOODS from Campagnolo Roma
Vancouver, BC | Campagnolo ROMA is hosting their second Quinto Quarto dinner on Wednesday, May 2 at 9pm. Dinner is served alla famiglia, showcasing offal at communal tables. Quinto Quarto refers to the “fifth quarter” of the animal that Roman butchers often kept for themselves. Traditionally, in Rome, cattle was divided into quarters; the first “quarto” was dedicated to be sold to the nobles, the second for the clergy, the third for the middle class and the fourth “quarto” for the soldiers. The poor or lower class could only afford the entrails or fifth “quarto”. Offal, in Roman cooking, is as important as any of the outer quarters, fore and hind. Chef de Cuisine Nathan Lowey is dedicated to keeping this important Roman tradition alive and will be hosting a Quinto Quarto dinner at ROMA a few times throughout the year.
