Feast Yr Ears

This week’s Feast Yr Ears features the incredible story of Franco Lania. As a troubled teenager trying to find his way, Master Chef Franco Lania says, “food saved my life”. Freshly out of high school, Franco’s father took him kicking and screaming to Kings Supermarket in Short Hills, New Jersey for a job. By the second week, Franco was enjoying his training where he discovered flavors and tastes that he never in his wildest dreams knew existed. Franco started to come alive. Through that job, he slowly but surely fell in love with food. Not only did he want to taste new things like ambrosia salad, he wanted to learn how to make them. Franco found his passion from which he later created the philosophy,“as you design your dishes and design your meals, you can design your life.” And design he did.

Franco wanted to continue his quest for knowledge, so he attended the Master Course at the Italian Culinary Arts Institute in
