Competitions / It's Not Too Late to Enter

Why I Entered

JOHN ZOZZARO
Downtown Cafe
Glen Cove, N.Y.

The Caputo Cup

"I have entered the Barilla Pasta Showdown
to compete with the best in the industry at one
of the meals I know best to prepare. Growing
up in New York in an Italian family, it was
a staple on our dinner table - not just on
Sundays but two or three other times a week.
Since I can remember I was always helping my
Mamma, Nonna and Zia's make the pasta.
"I am so happy that this competition is in
October because the tomatoes will be at their
peak, and so will other amazing seasonal
vegetables in my mother's garden that I will be
using in my giambotta pasta recipe."

Sponsored by Antimo Caputo Flour
The annual Caputo Cup pizza-making
competition is being expanded this year from
two to four divisions as it partners with Pizza
& Pasta Northeast. Nearly 200 competitors are
expected, baking their best pies and presenting
them to the judges in the Traditional, Non-Traditional, Pizza Napoletana/STG and Gluten-Free
divisions.
Watch the action in the Caputo Cup area
on the Exhibit Hall floor, with trophies and up
to $3,000 in prize money going to each of the
division winners.

Northeast Pasta Showdown Sponsored by Barilla
We'll be crowning the chefs with the best
pasta dishes in the Northeast during this twoday competition. On Day 1 each of the 20 competitors will prepare their top recipe for a panel
of judges, who will give them marks based on
technique, presentation, and of course, taste. On
Day 2 the same chefs will be asked to prepare a
pasta dish from a table of common ingredients,
including one primary ingredient that must be
used in all entries.
The two-day combined score will determine the winner of first-place cash
and a trophy, which will be presented Wednesday afternoon in the Pasta
Competition Area of the Exhibit Hall.
