QOTD: It’s the individual ingredients that make great food, isn’t it? Basil-what an herb! The Italians sure learned how to use it. Love fresh pesto. Also love a perfectly ripe, home-grown tomato sprinkled with fresh basil. Ok. I also love pizza, especially (I’m being very un-humble here) my own. And, of course, the Italians also know how to use garlic. Love the garlic. All must be consumed with a good red wine, naturally.

Liked the show – gave me some more insights into Barolo. Bought some last year and I felt it defiitely needed a 3-5 more years. Barolo needs time…

QOTD: Osso Bucco.

GV: Check out the Grimaldi Le Coste 2001, it will grow up to be a better wine than the 2004.

QOTD: Carpaccio – It’s like beef sushi

I do not have a favorite Italian food, I just like so many things. After reading the last issue of Saveur, I did buy some butter from Parma, and dang it it DOES taste like Parmesan cheese. Yum yum. I like tomatoes, olive oil, cheese, I am thinking I like italian food that is simple, fresh, uncomplicated.

PS – Were you taking still photos during the beginning of the show? Maybe a little dust cover action for the book?!?

Welcome back G.V.

Living here in N.C. for the past nine years I really miss ALL the Italian food from where I grew up in upstate N.Y. Each small town had at least three family owned pizza/Italian joints that would all rock the socks off of what they put an “Italian” label on down here. I remember some sort of sausage bread that was my favorite growing up. Can’t find it to save my life here.

awesome to see a show on 04 barolo! tis the season

QOT: so much stuff. veal osso buco with lemon and sage. real pizza from napoli. homemade pasta from anyones grandmother. panacota. risotto. there is a dish in rome, just rome that is the intestines of a baby calf that is still milk fed. they kill the calf a few minutes after he drank and quickly take the intestines out. they are filled with milk and they tie it into sections, cook it until the milk turns into a yogurt type consistency. crazy! good tripe is good too. oh yeah, barolo too.
favorite italian quote from a friend who lives in rome.. i ask for some water and she replies ” jason, pregnant woman drink water!”

QOTD. Everybody has a favorite Italian food? It’s my favorite cuisine, yes. But a favorite food? (Would you be able to say what your favorite wine is?) What can I say? Anything prepared by Tony Mantuano or Gaetano di Benedetto (my two favorite chefs).
