On Wednesday August 24, lovers of fine Italian sandwiches (otherwise known as piadinas) are encouraged to head down to Barrio Eatery & Bar in Byron Bay for the ultimate chef collaboration. No. 35 Kitchen & Bar’s talented chef Dan Medcalf joins chef Santiago Socrate from Barrio to serve some perfectly cooked, crowd-pleasing Italian piadinas.

Call it a sandwich, call it a party, call it whatever you like. The cult of the piadina is real, and you won’t want to miss out on these hot iron griddled flatbreads filled to the brim with some of the best Northern Rivers produce. Expect grilled eggplant, buffalo curd and pickled pine nuts layered onto fresh-charred bread, sticky-glazed barbeque ham, radicchio jam and salted ricotta-packed piadinas, and spicy barbeque lamb sausage, broccoli rabe and salsa verde rolled together in a warming piadina sandwich. Other Italian curiosities include kingfish cannoli, barbeque jalapeno, smoked crème Fraiche, beef tartare on toast, pickled mustard, and horseradish. Don’t forget to finish with No. 35’s famous house-made tiramisu.

The event will host two seatings at 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Contact Barrio at [email protected] or over the phone on 0411 323 165 to reserve your spot at this delicious affair.
