Good to see you back in da hizzie. Great job in the northwest though.

QOTD: Beef Bracciole – if I had to choose just one. The quintessential Chianti food.

Basil pesto (not the creamy kind). Lots of olive oil, garlic, and parmesan!

QOTD: A giant Chianina beef steak……nothing with it, just enough pure beef to get me totally in touch with my carnivorous side. For quick comfort food, Mario Batali’s recipe for spaghetti carbonara with a fresh raw egg yolk on top.

Way to bring the thunder to open up the week.

QOTD: Has to be Seafood Themadore from Sal’s in Williamsburg, VA. Crab, shrimp, scallops over fettuccini with his special cream based sauce. Out of this world. It is one of the few things I miss about the Tidewater area.

Good, good show. I have always liked Marchesi di Barolo but am always looking for another to take its place.

QOTD: Hands down, fried stuffed zucchini flowers. Aaaaamazing

Welcome back

Springtime, asparagus in season soon calls for a German Riesling battle royale.

Well, I’ve got to cop out and say pizza, if only for the wonderful variety of styles and methods for making what is otherwise a simple dish.

Scampi with lots of garlic, Chicken Marsala, Tiramisu, Chicken Alfredo, oh, you said one favorite?

qotd: Just one? I’m sorry that’s just not possible. I wouldn’t mind carciofi alla giudia or carciofi alla romano. Or ravioli with ricotta and sage. Or maybe a wild mushroom risotto. Or homemade lasagna. Where do you stop?

Gary,
Thanks for the Barolo show. The classic flavors of dried fruits, tobacco and tar and high tannins make me a great fan of these wines. I am hoping the new world does not take over this classic wine.

QOTD: Penne Putanesca
