Ed's Review
On the 4th of July weekend, we celebrate the original Brexit. The only difference being that the Brits that voted to leave 200 years ago had already left for America. So many parallels. Taxes and tyranny. Puritans and heretics. Clueless kings and queens. Rebellions and tea parties. Leaders with bad hair.
And so, we hold these truths to be self-evident. That not all pasta is created equal. And that all men are endowed with the inalienable right to eat good pasta, which is the artisanal variety that comes from Italy. This week, I used Verrigni spaghettone from Abruzzo. An Italian chef gave it to me, but any artisan pasta will do in such trying times.
Good pasta and a glass of wine will indeed set you free.
Buon Appetito!
