Arrivederci, Charleston! Chef Tim Morton of Emeline and Tge Ryder Heads to Rome for Residency

Chef Tim Morton, Executive Chef at Emeline and The Ryder here in Charleston, is headed to Rome, Italy next week for an “scambio di cucina Italiana,” (Italian kitchen swap) as the second part of Frannie & The Fox’s global dinner series.

Chef Tim will bring the flavors of the Lowcountry and Frannie’s own twist on Italian fare over to Italy for a four-night installation at Hotel Vilón. 

Back in November, Emeline hosted Gabriele Muro, the Executive Chef of Ristorante Adelaide. Like Frannie & The Fox’s connection to Emeline, Ristorante Adelaide is also located within a hotel property, specifically Hotel Vilon, a 5-star luxury hotel in the heart of Rome. The restaurant’s location occupies a wing of the ancient noble residence Palazzo Borghese in the Campo Marzio district of the city. During this residency here, Chef Tim and Chef Muro collaborated on a series of specialty menus, crafting inventive Italian cuisine for Charleston’s locals and visitors to enjoy – now the two will again team up and Chef Tim might just bring home some authentic Italian tricks and trades when he returns.
