Cupola Signs Ex-Bar Bambino Chef, Bluestem Hiring, More!

CHEF SHUFFLES - The team at the Westfield's forthcoming Cupola have told us about their pizza oven and snazzy Cass Calder Smith design; they've released their menus; and now they're ready to spill the beans about the chef. It'll be Christian Hermsdorf last seen as chef de cuisine at Bar Bambino. He'll be pulling mozzarella to order and hand-making sausages, among many other things. See him in action here. In other news, Cupola culinary director Adrian Hoffman learned how to make pizza with Neapolitan pizza-maestro Enzo Coccia, so it should be a pretty solid team back there. Cupola folks are being a little cagey about the opening, but it may happen in June. [EaterWire]
