Chef Cutolo shares what it’s like to balance running a modern-day restaurant while honoring old-school traditions. From nonna’s secret recipes to the emotional connection of hearing, “This tastes just like my grandmother made it,” this episode is all about keeping Italian heritage alive.
We also talk about Chef's journey following his cousin "Mike the Bake" around the kitchen to learn the perfect cannoli recipe—because in Italian cooking, you learn by watching and tasting! There are no shortcuts, just love, family, and fresh, seasonal ingredients.
So, whether you’re craving a taste of Italy or want to know more about Coney Island’s food scene, this episode will have you salivating!
