Artist in Residence
Manno's Market is proud to collaborate with the North American Pizza & Culinary Academy through an evolving Artist in Residence culinary partnership.
Part test kitchen, part classroom, part gathering place, and part creative sandbox. Working alongside the Academy's culinary team, Chef Michael Manno will use this professional kitchen to develop dishes, explore ingredients, work with producers and manufacturers, create educational content, and bring people together around food.
A working culinary innovation space
The residency also supports select food-industry consulting, culinary R&D and commercialization projects: product and menu development, demonstrations, operator training, sensory evaluation and manufacturer presentations. For companies looking for something more useful than another conference-room meeting, bring the challenge into the kitchen.
