Hi, everybody. You're listening to Radio Cherry Bomb, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond.

Today's guest is Angie Rito, one of New York City's most beloved chefs.

You know Angie from her hit West Village restaurants, Don Angie and San Sabino,

where she and her husband, Scott Tassanelli, create some of the most

craveable inventive takes on Italian-American food in the whole city. Don Angie is home to the now

iconic lasagna pinwheels, and San Sabino is their sister spot, with all the flavor, fun, and

flair you'd expect from Angie and Scott. Angie joins me for an update on the restaurants,

upcoming travels, the story of her family's bakery in Cleveland, the beloved Rita's bakery,

her dad and uncle's amateur baking exploits, and her pivot from journalism to the kitchen.

We also talk hot dogs because Angie is part of an event we're doing next week called the hot dog edit.

I'll tell you all about it in just a minute. And Angie will tell us all about the hot dog she dreamed

up that we will be serving, her Italian combo hot dog. It's wrapped in spec. She's whipping up a bunch of

pepperoni aoli as one of the toppings. Yes, pepperoni aoli. She'll tell you all the other

details in just a sec. Anyway, I am so happy to have Angie back on the show. She is always great

to chat with, and she is such a gifted culinary creative. Stay tuned for Chef Angie Rito.

Today's interview was recorded at Newsstand Studios at Rockefeller Center.

A little update on our next issue. We are busy at work on the next issue of Cherrybaum's Print Magazine, and we'll be at the printer next week. The theme is game changers, and the issue

is filled with trailblazers, innovators, and some food folks who inspire us every day.
