EPISODE 397. Christian Petroni is back! It's been a long time coming, but we have our cooking cousin from the Bronx on the podcast this week. From Ponza to "upstate" NY and now taking his talents everywhere - Christian gives us some epic family lore, shares a step-by-step guide on his 8 hour marinara, and previews his new cookbook ("Parm to Table"). Tune in!
