I took my daughter to Rome for her high school graduation present. While there we had dinner at Betto e Mary where we tried traditional Roman cuisine called Quinto Quarto (“fifth quarter”) which is the offal of all kinds of animals including horse. They had both kinds of the artichokes there too. We were the only ones there who spoke English. Thank goodness for Google Translate. We asked them to surprise us with whatever they suggested we eat. A group of elderly men were all partying there and by the end of the night we were all singing together. What a wonderful dinner and a memorable time.

Carbonara is absolutely my favorite Italian pasta -- Food of the Gods. Most Italian restaurants in the U.S. serve a travesty of it with cream and peas included, or even chicken. NO! Not long ago, I finally attempted it after watching videos with authentic recipes. You need to be careful to keep the eggs creamy instead of congealed, but it worked -- sheer Heaven. I went out of my way and was able to find guanciale, expensive but oh so good.

You have to follow his path. From the suburbia, where he lived, to Largo Argentina, where he was killed. Then follow the Teatro di Pompeo hidden places.

I just go to the pork outlet at my local farmer's market, and they're happy to order them for me. There are recipes online for turning them into guanciale, if you're the homesteader type with time on your hands, or you can just use them straight up - not the same as proper aging and seasoning, but a good second if you don't have access to the real thing.

I am beyond jealous. First, I'm your Dad's age. I went to med school in Italy for 7 years, lived in Rome for 6 months, and now consider myself a converted Italian. It took years to go from hating Italy and everything Italian to becoming a convert. My dad never took me to Italy, but we made damn sure our kids got to go, repeatedly, and let me tell you, as your American accented Dad can, once Italy gets under your skin, it never leaves. A few points, it's nice to hear "annamo" again. Next coffee at St Eustachio, meh! It's good coffee, don't misunderstand me, and if your near Navonna, sure. But not worth going out of your way for. Guanciale. It's available everywhere in Italy NOW, but in the 1970s, NO WAY! When we lived in Padova up north, we had the best amatriciana from anywhere in the country (including Rome), and when we asked for the recipe, my wife and I were both told, it's made with guanciale "...but you cannot buy it here..." It took years of making pancetta at home before I tried guanciale. My pancetta is amazing, the guanciale, well, not so much. My pancetta is a great substitute. And of course not, American bacon is NOT panchetta or guanciale. The porchetta. Jewish boy that I am from Long Island, I don't go out of my way to eat pork. My kids love porchetta, they make it themselves, and while they do a fantastic job, it isn't Roman porchetta. Don't aske me why. Not how you could eat that dry sandwich without a glass of red wine is beyond me. One of my favorite porchetta moments was in a little bar on the "square" in Siena. Great sandwich, amazing sangiovese in a plastic glass. Heaven. The artichokes. East is east and west is west. Sadly. You rarely find the baby artichokes here in the states, and I've never seen the purple ones. Dad left out the mint in his carciofi alla romana. Pardonable. The Giudia, as we were told at your restaurant, a) can't make them at home, and B) they are double fried. Once at about 300F, removed, drained, cooled, then at a higher temp until crisp. They have to be cleaned, squashed down to open them up, into the oil, out of the oil, back into hotter oil. Much easier going to Rome. All in all, you brought back wonderful memories. I had always wanted to buy a small apartment in Venice, but life got in the way. Your Dad got to move to Italy, dresses like an Italian, sports a hint of Roman dialect, and has a very strong American accent. I love it! Wonderful video, thank you so much, and warmest regards from suburban Atlanta Georgia. (Oh, did you know that the area around Termini Station was the ORIGINAL "suburb/suburba" of ancient Rome? Julius Caesar and Mom used to live just a block or two away, before he moved uptown (and got killed downtown). It's an amazing city, and as I said, as you seem to realize, once it gets under your skin, it's there forever. Auguri, tutti!

The Jewish community in Rome was one of the world's oldest Jewish communities, dating back to, well, Roman times (The Iraqi Jews always claimed to be older though, dating back to Babylonian times). They had their own distinctive cuisine, partially due to Jewish dietary laws and partially because the nicer ingredients weren't available in the ghetto, and the Jews had to make what they had taste good! (hence all the deep frying). In the 20th century many Jews from places like Libya emigrated to Rome, so nowadays the Roman Jewish cuisine also includes many middle-eastern dishes.

Oooo... Aww... That was so much fun to watch you guys and almost could taste the Roman specialties 💕. Grazie mille

[@sofiagaia91]

I love Rome! One of my favorite cities ever! If you like it, you should visit Verona the next time, every Roman friend I have says that Verona is like a mini Rome… and we have pretty good dishes too! (Btw, I can’t wait for artichoke season to be back, I love them!)

Oh, ma buongiorno a papà Alexander! P.S. Mi pare che anche a Genzano facciano un’ottima porchetta.

Great video, the fact that your dad is Max was a real surprise, he was one of our favorite Masterchef competitors! An excellent cook, but even more a wonderful person, a true gentleman.
