I lowkey stan for olive garden cause I'm trash but I'll def take local places over it. We used to have an Italian restaurant. It was good but weirdly reheated super gross. It lasted less than a year tho so I'll go to this new one every day if that's what keeps it open!

 

Devoured a brisket, pulled pork, and Andouille sausage platter for my graduation dinner tonight. I was floating.

 

I haven't had Italian food in a long time.

 

me either but I did have Olive Garden recently. it was bad. it's always bad.

 

Favorite Italian dishes, go

 

parmesan reggiano

 

I like me some shrimp fra diavolo and chicken marsala.

Ultimate comfort food will always be chicky chickey parm parm though.


And get outta here with that OG trash, unless you're giving me soup, salad and breadsticks that is :)

 

Shrimp fra diavolo just SOUNDS awesome. What is it?

 

The Italian market near my new apt just won best sub sandwich in Michigan and it's wonderful.

 

It's basically shrimp cooked in a spicy tomato sauce and poured over linguine or whatever kind of pasta you want. Local place by me makes a killer diavolo.

 

I just looked it up, it looks amazing.

 

Soooooooo, I know the Chopped thing had kind of a rough beginning. We chose maybe the worst time to do it and didn't think out all the logistics. I will do better.

Buttttttttt. @BlueEyesBrewing and @coleslawed knocked it out of the park and their efforts shouldn't go unnoticed. So anybody in here if you could take like 2 minutes and pop over here: The Food Thread's Chopped/Iron Chef Ingredient Picking Extravaganza Thread and look at both of their posts and then send me a message with some scores, I'd like to write up something nice for both of them.

Fra Diavolo is that bang-bang. Especially with seafood.

I'm flush with Italian places, especially pizzeria/sub shops.

Some of my favorites are veal lorenzo, lobster & crab ravioli w/ a roasted red pepper sauce, chicken marsala, fettuccine alfredo, pappardelle bolognese, anything with gnocchi, lasagna, polenta w/ short rib ragu, beef carpaccio, rigatoni alla genovese

 

Chicken marsala is definitely

 

I could live off cheese ravioli. Or fettuccine alfredo. Or baked ziti. Basically, I could live off pasta and be completely happy.

 

You covered my whole list haha. And I'm glad lunchtime is coming up. My stomach is ROARing now.

 

Just found out cool ranch Doritos are called "Cool American" in Europe

 

also my nickname to foreigners.

 

sad no one has mentioned carbonara.

spaghetti bolognese

tortelloni (not tortellini) in butter sauce

 

My mom prepped 6 trays of lasagna for my grad party this Saturday :)

 

People Are Angry At This Cafe For Its "European Style" Nachos That "Showcase Corn Chips"

 

Tried making a French omelette with gruyere cheese and chives this morning. It was pretty good although I wasn't a big fan of the chives so I'd probably leave them out next time.

 

I'd eat it

 

Looks great! No brown! Jacques Pépin would be proud. I love chives with my eggs. Poached, scrambled, omelette, whatever. Give me the chives.
