Little Italy

When I was growing up, a trip to Baltimore's Little Italy always meant culinary adventure. Today we celebrate Italian grilling and the food of Little Italys around North America, honoring the Italian reverence for simplicity and fresh seasonal ingredients, and the American passion for big flavors and ingenious grilling techniques. On the menu a North American twist on three Italian grilled classics. SHRIMP SPIEDINI WITH SALMORIGLIO; PIZZA PUTTANESCA; SALT SLAB CHICKEN WITH PEPPERONCINI VINAIGRETTE.
