Chicken Vesuvio week has taken the internet and Chicago by storm. If you live in a cave and missed it, please take a look at this blog that summarizes the contents.
There was an uproar over this dish around the city last week, resulting in many of the Italian restaurants I visited and blogged about running out of that dish, forcing me to pay £86.
A shocking development to say the least.
I stopped by Donny’s kitchen in Barstool’s Chicago office to create our own version of the dish. I’m not kidding when I say it turned out amazing. Donnie is a really good cook and has a lot of knowledge for such a young kid.
If you’re looking for a dish that’s cheap, doesn’t require a lot of ingredients, and is fairly easy to make, give this a try and let me know what you think.
But that’s not the purpose of this blog.
If you have parents or grandparents who are not from this country, have you ever noticed how shady it is to share recipes or teach people how to cook?
That’s crazy.
In my family, there are things like pre-packaging ingredients in nondescript Tupperware containers and having them leave the room at certain points in the cooking process to tinker with them without seeing what you’re doing. Some people go so far as to lie down straight. Omit things that seem small and unimportant to the recipe, but actually make a big difference. I understand, but I don’t understand. It’s not like your annoying neighbor is going to bother you asking for the famous chocolate chip cookie recipe that you don’t want or want the whole world to know. it’s your family.
