Much like drinking white wine with your lunch, which you do in Italy and feel no effects thereafter, much like the quality and like lovely nature of coffee brewed in a mocha pot, but only in Italy, you have managed to deep-fried chicken in a ceramic vessel on a stovetop over direct heat, again, with no ill effects.

None.

You pull a circus stunt like that in America, you will burn your house down, guaranteed.

Hey there, listeners, future callers, and cooking enthusiasts.

Welcome to DinnerSOS, the show Where We Help You Save Dinner, or whatever you're cooking.

I'm Chris Morocco, food director of Bon Appetit and Epicurious.

Our caller this week is Gabe.

She and her husband are from Australia, but they currently live in a city called

Treviso in northern Italy. It is a great place, Treviso. It's got a couple of culinary claims to

fame. It's the birthplace of Tiramizu. It's also where Radicchio is grown. And it's also on the

foothills of Valdobiardin, which is the region where Prosecco grapes are grown.

Yeah.

So, yeah, great food and wine traditions, which is one of the reasons that we came here, Chris.

Oh, that sounds great.

What made you want to call in today?

If you just want to talk about, like, Tardivo Radicchio, we can do that too.

Trust me. Yeah, well, I'll tell you what, they even make Ridicchio ice cream here. They've found every

manifestation of, yeah, of Radicchio under the sun. But Gabe didn't call in just to brag about her

Radicchio bounty. See, Gabe and her husband have made friends with an American couple also living in Treviso.

It's been a great cultural exchange.

We even got to participate in our first Thanksgiving meal that they hosted last year at the end of last year.

And that was bewildering that event.
