With the season of golden trees, crisp cool air and new fall fashions approaching, so are the next three Regional Dinners at Vancouver’s very own internationally acclaimed and award-winning Cibo Trattoria.

The Regional Dinner Series at Cibo have really become popular with true Italian cooking enthusiasts. Each dinner is carefully planned and prepared monthly by Executive Chef Neil Taylor to cater to a specific geographical region in Italy. Each four course dinner represents the culture, ingredients and rich history of traditional meals from the region highlighted for the month. There is also an exquisite wine pairing option each month personally selected by Cibo’s General Manager and Sommelier, David Fert.

Pasta is less prominent in Tuscan cuisine, being replaced by bread based soups. Vegetables are exceptional especially artichokes, cannellini beans, borlotti beans, zucchini, chard and tomatoes.

The Tuscany Dinner menu created by Executive Chef Neil Taylor features:

Chicken liver Toscana with housemade pickles and bruschetta

“Pici”- Tuscan style spaghetti with pork ragu, san marzano tomatoes, chil, basil and pecorino

Roast chicken with “panzanelle salad”- heirloom tomatoes, roast peppers,
walla walla onions, celery, anchovy, bread and chianti vinegar

Graduate Thursdays & Republic Nightclub present:

AutoErotique

Trevor Risk, Matty C & Guests

Autoerotique stores electro, techno, house, Dutch house, Dutch-colonial house, rave, rock, rave-rock, indie-rock and even ska on speed dial and calls them up frequently. Their effortlessly protein, shape-shifting sound can careen wildly from project to project, so it’s not unexpected to hear them transform from Dutch house to, say, Norwegian black metal on the same record – thus, earning them the lazily au courant nick name “Autobots”.

Following the Gladiator EP, Autoerotique showed off the many colorful arrows in their musical quiver releasing remixes for Lykke Li, Shinichi Osawa, Chris Cornell & Timbaland, Diplo & Laidback Luke, Larry Tee, B. Rich, Disco Bisquits, Fischerspooner, Weezer, Benny Benassi, and Tiesto. Dim Mak just released the latest EP appropriately titled “Turn Up The Volume”.The group is back in studio—following a non-stop liver-punishing tour—and excitedly working on their next single and first full length LP.
