Episode 120 : "Starter smuggler, Chris O'Donnell Sunday suppers, and singing to his dough"

Hungry for More : an Epicurean's Dilemma

Trish chats with Pizzana chef and incredibly joyful Daniele Uditi. He grew up in culinary family : mom was a chef, his aunt was a bread maker, and his grandfather was a pastry chef. He moved to America in 2010, lived in a van in Venice Beach and not quite sure what he would do, although he knew it would involved being in the kitchen. Word spread quickly about his pizzas and his talent, and before he knew it, he was invited over to the house of actor Chris O'Donnell to cook for him and his friends. Those Sunday suppers eventually led to the introduction of his future business partners and Pizzana was born. Daniele talks about the importance of ingredients, paying respect to the food, and his love of making pizza (and carbs).
