Iron Chef Challenge - Offal!
I'm watching an iron chef comptetition that's not online yet - Cosentino vs the bald iron guy (update: Chef Simon - in Battle Offal).
One of the things that's made me a good customer in Rome is my willingness to order tripe - Tripa alla romana. The first time I ordered tripa alla Romana at my neighborhood restaurant in 2003 I got "cognosci che cos'รจ la tripa? I explained that I was from the South of America and that I knew that tripa was cow stomach. I got a lovely dish of tripe with tomato and peas. I ate it all.
From then, I was golden.
Italy is all about relationships, even in restaurants
