Bacco Executive Chef Anthony Lombardo made his first appearance on Lick the Plate recently. He had this to say about Lick the Plate and his experience on the show. "David has created a unique culinary niche with Lick the Plate in Detroit that has resonated with both the culinary community and the foodies that frequent our restaurants. He has a knack for attracting and telling the stories of a wide range of guests and that benefits the restaurant community and our patrons. It was fun to be able to tell my story in a loose, comfortable format that included my early influences, my road to Bacco, music – which was one of my favorite episodes, favorite places to eat outside of work, and walking the audience through our menu. It was like telling my story in a nutshell and Lick the Plate has perfected that format."
Kevin Miller, General Sales Manager for 93.9 The River and 89X was instrumental in bringing Lick the Plate to Detroit added, "Lick the Plate has definitely become a recognized brand in both Windsor and Southeastern Michigan over the past two years. It provides unique, relevant, entertaining content that covers the exploding culinary scene in both markets and has been an asset to the station."
