Welcome back to The Food For ThoughtCast- We are excited to be joined today for Episode 101 by Dennis Turcinovic of Delmonico's, Tucci, and Boogie Lab USA. Yes THAT Delmonico's, in Manhattan! Delmonico's is credited with being the first restaurant in America to offer individual dishes à la carte, rather than a set menu, a concept that revolutionized the dining experience. We talk about the food heritage and incredible restaurant legacy in Dennis' family, the importance of simple, quality sourdough bread, and the incredible dishes and history that make up the Delmonico's story. We are briefly interrupted by an appliance repairman, but the show must go on! We were honored to talk to Dennis today and hope that you will enjoy this episode! Find us in all the podcast places- and thanks for watching us on YouTube!
