The last time I was in Italy, I saw a place on Glovo (the Italian Ubereats) called “Fucking Fried Chicken” and was super intrigued. So last night I just had to try it. I forgot to take a photo of the food prior to it being devoured, but here’s a pic from the website. It’s the Mother and Son chicken sammie - 2 fried chicken tenders, homemade brioche bun, a fried egg, cheddar cheese, tomato, onion, and an ‘nduja sauce. And holy fuck, it was great. Paired with some amazing french fries and their own beer collab. It was the perfect late-night meal.
This is the best chicken in the world. Grilled perfectly, and served with a sauce of tomato and the fat that renders out of the chicken. Moist and flavorful interior with a super crispy skin. Serve it with some polenta and vegetables, and you have one amazing meal. (Not shown: the bowl of bigoli and duck ragu I ate before the chicken).

Focaccia Experiment #3: “Zucchini”
This focaccia is another 75% hydration, Caputo 00 dough. Folded in are layers of grilled zucchini and mozzarella. Topped with a salt water and olive oil brine. It’s quite thick - similar to a sandwich bread but tastes like focaccia. Would love to slice it and toast it….or make a sammie with it 🤤
Questa focaccia è un altro impasto Caputo 00 con idratazione al 75%. Strati di zucchine grigliate e mozzarella sono inseriti al suo interno. Il tutto ricoperto da una salamoia di acqua salata e olio d’oliva.

Seeing as I never post outside of my story, I’m thinking I should start posting my focaccia experiments (and hone my food photography skills 😂)

Such a dreary day called for a little bit of color, so I decided to spend a little bit of time at @randyland.pgh this afternoon! Definitely a great way to put a smile on my face! 🌈
Checked out some art this past weekend in Chicago. The @artinstitutechi is massive! Highly recommend 🖼️

Italy was absolutely amazing, and even more so because I got to spend it with my better half ❤️. I can’t wait to return!
