“LEAVE THE SQUID, TAKE THE CANNOLI.” Italy wins the Euro Cup, so we talk cephalopods.
In the latest episode, and in honor of Italy’s historic Euro Cup win, a roundtable takes on its favorite and not-so-favorite Italian meals. I’m joined by fellow gastronomers Ms. Nic MoneyPenny and Mr. Eric Heras. (Nic lives in England, and Eric does not.)
Is fried calamari the bellwether of a good Italian restaurant?
“To anchovy or not to anchovy? That is the question.”
Speaking of which, how many of us think that a Caesar salad is anything more than a bowl of green water? (I kind of liked them until I heard our guest demolish it.)
You want to know -- NEED to know -- the answers to these and other risotto-related questions. But just so we’re clear, we are NOT going to talk about pizza and especially not about pineapple on pizza. We did that last episode and it caused a ruckus. Be sure to listen to that episode first.
Join us for a lively discussion with call-in questions from an audience on Greenroom from Spotify.
GUEST NOTES:
Eric Heras on Instagram
Nic MoneyPenny on Stereo.com
Along with many other notables from the Greenroom-a-verse.

"WHAT'S ON YOUR PIZZA?" An international gabfest on toppings, in which pineapple is thrown under the bus. (No animals were harmed in the making of this episode.)
THIS NEW YORKER has strong feelings about what a "real pizza" is and also what goes on top. But America, after all, is the "Land of the Free and the Home of The-Differently-Inclined-People-Who-Sometimes-Have-Wrong-Ideas-About-Pizza-But-In-The-End-It's-E-Pluribus-Unum."
The host and eight guests, from California to Texas to New York to Finland and to the Middle East, weigh in on their idea of the ultimate pizza.
My conclusion?
An "everything pizza" just might be my favorite.

‘Puddings’ are often not puddings, and a crumpet is as delightful as it sounds: A chat with the U.K.’s Paul Aldred.
"Black pudding" is not pudding. Mince pie is only a de-commissioned fruitcake. And "toad-in-the-hole" is... Well, tune in to this week's episode.
Independence Day in the United States is when we celebrate throwing off a King's yoke. Yet, some of us also mourn the disappearance in the American diet of such English staples as Welsh Rarebit, Hobnobs and Jaffa Cakes.
I'm joined again by periodic guest Paul Aldred from the United Kingdom. Paul sets me right on all the things I thought the Brits had wrong.

"How to sous vide a steak and then use a flamethrower to sear it." A discussion with Denmark's Sebastian/@sjsousvide on IG
When COVID hit Denmark, Sebastian (IG account @sjsousvide), like all of us, had to find ways to make the most of being stuck at home. He turned to cooking. He is now a home chef who is a craft beer and beef connoisseur. Sebastian also takes mouth-watering food photographs, some of which are used to promote Danish restaurant Steak-out and its amazing food (IG: @steakoutdk).
Sebastian and I talked about cooking sous vide versus other options, finding a high temperature torch -- I pictured a flamethrower -- to get a good sear on certain dishes, and his favorite cutlery.

"Deployments & Drooliciousness: A family with a grill and a community that feels like family."
My guest this week is Elyse Goode. Elyse and her husband Chad are veterans of the U.S. military and also Traeger grill enthusiasts. When their three children were very young, Chad was deployed, and after a long day Elyse found a bit of peace grilling her meals with, as she says, "perhaps a glass of wine or two."
But why are Traeger owners so passionate about these grills?!
Traeger is not sponsoring this episode, but they might as well be, because both Elyse and I give the grill two thumbs up. (To be clear, that's four thumbs in total.) Listen in as we talk about grilling, family and a whole cooking community.
Elyse can be found on Instagram at @goode.ventures.
