Orlando Food Sales Showcases First-to-Market Italian Launches and Pasta Demos by Chef Evan Funke at Fancy Food Show

Experience Authentic Italian Craftsmanship at Booth #2964

New York, NY — June 2025 This summer at the 2025 Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City, Orlando Food Sales, Inc (Orlando Foods) invites you to Booth #2964 for an immersive celebration of first-to-market Italian product debuts, refined packaging launches, and the show’s most anticipated culinary attraction: live cooking demonstrations by acclaimed chef Evan Funke.

As a third-generation importer committed to delivering the very best of Italy to American tables, Orlando Foods will unveil new retail releases from its premier brand partners—Caputo, Deliziosa, and Olitalia—while offering attendees the rare opportunity to learn directly from one of North America’s top Italian culinary talents.

Chef Evan Funke—Live in the Booth, Cooking and Connecting

Join Chef Evan Funke—the revered pastaio, two-time James Beard Award nominee, and founder of some of America’s most celebrated Italian restaurants—live in the OFS booth on Sunday and Monday. Chef Funke will bring the heart of Italy to life with traditional hand-rolled pasta-making demos, offering a masterclass in craftsmanship, technique, and ingredient integrity.

Even more exciting, Chef Funke will debut his brand-new artisanal sauce line, demonstrating how simple, high-quality ingredients—like those imported by Orlando Foods —can transform everyday cooking into an expression of Italian excellence. Attendees will have the chance to watch, taste, and interact with the chef as he demonstrates how high-quality Italian ingredients transform home cooking into something truly extraordinary.

Whether you're a buyer, chef, or food lover, this is your chance to experience Italian cuisine through the eyes—and hands—of one of its fiercest advocates.
