Dave Hill

Teaches at La Scuola at Eataly Flatiron

Dave Hill worked as as museum guide, bartender and tutor in Massachusetts before being captured by a deep love of salumi and cheese. Since moving to NYC and studying with Frederick Hull and Gassan el Kadamani, Dave has devoted his waking existence to the ephemeral crafts of slicing and presentation. To Dave, salumi and cheese represent ways of connecting people with hidden, magical treasures in our midst; for example, celebrating with the friends and strangers (who are soon to be new friends) who are with us right now. In the unlikely event that he is not at Eataly's cheese and salumi counter, Dave is most likely tutoring vocabulary, food studies, philosophy or sociology at community colleges in the tri-state area.
