January 17 is the annual day of Italian cuisine and the Italian chefs association pick a dish every year to promote the authenticity of their cuisine. Last year was ragu Bolognaise and this year Pesto alla Genovese.

I had dinner at Sureño before moving on to Aperitivo at midnight to see the crew of Beijing’s Italian chefs have a pesto cookout!





In this case, too many chefs didn’t spoil the broth.
