    For those of you who haven't gotten it - they put out a book called Italian American. I'm a professional chef and it is an exceptional read! They put great modern spins on classic Italian dishes so its not like every other "red sauce" place you would see in Little Italy. Excellent work Chef!

    • @ZainxIqbal
      @ZainxIqbal Год назад +17

      @@RoyNatian Not every dish is meant to be eaten with fresh pasta. When a restaurant says that their pasta is hand-made in-house, it's always in reference to their fresh pasta, such as we can see being done in this video.
      The reason for using De Cecco Dry Pasta is because fresh pasta can literally not be "al dente", as it has too much moisture and is too soft even before being cooked, and there's a lot of pasta dishes that are served "al dente", especially in traditional Italian cuisine.
      There's literally only ONE restaurant in the WORLD that makes their own dry pasta in-house: Luciano Cucina Italiana in Rome, Italy by Michelin-Star Chef Luciano Monosilio. It's really not economically feasible to make your own dry pasta whatsoever, let alone doing so in the USA.
      To give an example of how difficult or even ludicrous it is to expect a restaurant to make their own dry pasta is the equivalent of a restaurant being expected to grow and harvest their own rice on-premises. It's literally not within the skillset, man-power, or financial abilities of a restaurant to do so. Hope that makes sense.

    People who have never been to Italy, but learned in New York believing they were learning from their grandmother, take a tour of Italy after exporting the real techniques, Italian cuisine is technical and above all varied

    They should change the name to "there is no other way" cause they say that a lot! Seriously though i appreciate the quality and labor that goes into making the best possible dishes. consistently and at quantity. Impressive.

      They also say "acutally", "basically" and "like" a lot. Especially the lady with the glasses is a burden to listen to.
