On Thursday, October 23, beginning at 6:00 p.m., culinary pioneers Di Bruno Brothers will host St. James School Soiree, an after-hours cocktail party at the Ardmore Farmers Market, 120 Coulter Avenue, Ardmore, Pennsylvania.
Guests will enjoy two hours of gourmet food and drink for just $45.00 per person, with proceeds supporting Di Bruno Brothers worthy mission: to construct and operate a state-of-the-art Neighborhood Kitchen at St. James School in the Allegheny West neighborhood of North Philadelphia.
“Throughout our 75th anniversary year, we’ve honored the spirit of our founders by recommitting ourselves to bringing exceptional products to Philadelphia and finding ways to give back to and engage with our community,” notes President Bill Mignucci, Jr., third-generation owner and grandson of Danny Di Bruno. “With the St. James Soiree, we’re offering our fans and friends an opportunity to support a great cause and also enjoy some of the tastiest imported and domestic bites and beverages available.”
Food and drink offerings will represent some of Di Bruno Brothers most popular and delicious selections, including Prosciutto di Parma with truffle-burrata crema and Petrossian caviar “involtini,” paired with Hangar 1 Vodka, served chilled with stuffed olives, lemon, lime or sage, and Moscow Mules with ginger beer and fresh lime; Cacio e Pepe, featuring Rustichella Torchio Reggiano cheese, Tellicherry peppercorns, and Sicilian sea salt; Fried Cerignola Olives; Saffron Arancinetti; Crab Cakes with smoked chile aioli; Gorgonzola Dolce with lomo and fig jame; and Smoked Salmon “Buttons.”
Di Bruno Brothers has dedicated their milestone 75th anniversary year in business to raising $75,000 for St. James School’s new Neighborhood Kitchen. The school’s current kitchen is small, outdated, and can only warm food, limiting their ability to provide fresh, healthy meals to students, many of whom eat multiple meals a day at school. The new Neighborhood Kitchen will provide nutritional foods to students and their families and simultaneously encourage area youth to consider an education and career in the culinary arts.
