The Pizza Show: Sicily

Frank is headed to the motherland, Sicily. Not only does he visit his family in the small town of Baucina, where they are celebrating Santa Fortunata, their town's patron saint, he also explores the pizza scene in Palermo. In Sicily, it's all about the Sfincione, the regional style of focaccia that is traditionally topped with breadcrumbs, anchovies, and a hard sheep's milk cheese. Viva Santa Fortunanta!

Being Lebanese and seeing Frank go back to his family's hometown with all the cousins around and the food and the insanity just reminds me so much of Lebanon. Even the olive trees and the terrain looks identical to my family's hometown. The food is different, but the vibe is all too familiar. I fucking love this show.
