  • Опубліковано 3 тра 2024
  • At NYC’s Rezdôra, chef Stefano Secchi uses his years of training from under the best pasta-makers in Emilia-Romagna, Italy to craft some of the most unique Italian dishes in the city. With special attention to fresh ingredients and respect to the tradition of making pasta, he creates dishes like king crab girasoli and giant ravioli with runny egg yolks inside. Stick around to see actor and investor Tony Shalhoub stop by for a taste.

      @Eater Please tell Stefano I said well done on being recognised for his decades of hard work and humility. I have a deep love for the works, the tales and the lives Italy has blessed the world with. His is one such life. God willing he brings a firm hand and a pure heart to his trade and shares his skill with new chefs.
      Yours sincerely

    Used to deliver to this chef when I worked for Natoora. it’s really difficult using the restroom and asking most restaurants if you can use theirs is non existent, but I remember asking him & he said “I appreciate you for asking, of course you can.” From that moment, during the several months working for Natoora, I delivered to him & just watching him prep and get ready for the day was a privilege enough. he asked me if I wanted to become a chef & I told him it’s one of my many dreams & he says I can get after it whenever I’m ready, just observe & accept failure before you do so you can learn how to run it the way I want it too. One of the many things I’ll always take in remembrance when that day comes.

    This is 100% pure passion. The way he talks about learning how to make pasta, and how experiences inspire the dishes, is just passion. It may sound pretentious sure, but find anyone passionate about something and tell me that doesn't happen there either. Working his butt off in a tiny restaurant to make the best pasta he possibly can, is a labor of love. Bravo, Chef Secchi, you're living the dream we all strive for.

    I actually live in Modena, where he learned to make pasta, so none of this is "new" to me: you get dozens of restaurants making pasta the old way in each big city. I could eat it every week, or even make it myself.
    Yet, I think it's incredible to see how much they try to keep this tradition alive and to let people taste it in the other side of the world, grinding every day. Hope they get the recognition they deserve.

      I don't know if I would do it like that again, probably order dishes a la carte and select my own bottle of wine for the table but be prepared for at least $150 per head if having drinks. Again, I felt it was totally worth it even though I normally don't spend like that.

I've seen a video on Worth it in which there's a chicken farm in Japan that sells expensive high-quality eggs, and their yolks are a bright red orange color. The owner said this is cuz he also feeds his chickens chili powder on top of their normal feed. Doesn't affect the taste, it's just for natural coloring. I thought this might provide some ideas.

      Italian cuisine in America wont be on the same level as Italy any time soon. The ingredients just arent here. He even mentions how long he had to look for to find eggs that resemble anything like what he had in Italy - and I doubt theyre even at that level - in New York, the foodie capital of the US. Italian cuisine relies on the quality of its simple ingredients and if you dont have that youre going to need to rely on something else to bring the flavor.
