How did a kid from Milwaukee become one of America's finest chefs? Join us as Paul Bartolotta, one of the first chefs in America to elevate Italian cuisine to four-star status, shows us the fresh ingredients and the classic techniques behind his wonderful but deceptively simple cuisine. Then we'll travel to Italy to discover some of Bartolotta's inspirations-the age-old craft of making Parmiggiano Reggiano, and one of the most important fishing ports along the Adriatic. Back in the Gourmet kitchen, we'll mix Italian ingredients with French techniques to amazing effect.
