On Friday’s show, Leonard talks to Italian food expert Lou Di Palo, the owner of his favorite cheese shop, Di Palo's Fine Foods in Little Italy. The food blog Serious Eats described Di Palo's Fine Foods a “100-year-old Italian specialty market with incredible mozzarella and fresh porchetta. Expect long waits, but they're worth it.” Chef Daniel Boulud has called Di Palo one of the seven wonders of New York. “Di Palo’s stories come from the gathering of the food, the discovery of where it was made,” wrote Kenneth Rapoza of Forbes. “It’s not so much about the taste, but what makes it taste that way in the first place. So it all inevitably comes down to the air and the water and the grass and the sheepherder he’s met that led him to the perfect little farm, that made the perfect little cheese, somewhere south of Trentino.” Don’t miss Leonard’s conversation with this giant of Italian cuisine

Lou Di Palo gives Leonard a history lesson on Italian cuisine.(August 10, 2018)

Food Talk with Mike Colameco is brought to you by the following generous underwriters:    This week on a brand new Food Talk with Michael Colameco, host Michael Colameco kicks off the new radio season welcoming guests Frank Crispo and Lou Di Palo to the show. Mike starts off the show recapping his summer complete with the beach, travel, and great food. Frank and Mike go way back having grown up in Philadelphia, and catch up today talking about Frank’s inspirations plus a couple great stories of coming up through the NYC food industry. Also talking about his own restaurant, Crispo, Frank shares how customer satisfaction is at the center of his business mentality. After the break, Lou Di Palo joins Mike in the studio talking about Di Palo Selects, a New York City institution of an Italian market, as well as his new book, Di Palo’s Guide to the Essential Foods of Italy. Lou goes on to shares with Mike that the reason that he went about writing this book was to further understand where and from whom his food comes from and is inspired by. Tune in for a great show!      “The key to our success is that we aren’t afraid to mix and match whatever [the customer] is looking for.” [16:35] “If it only was about food and the customers it would be a great business again, but it’s a tough business, and we have to be ready for everything.” [20:38] —Frank Crispo on Food Talk “The idea of our place is: we need to run it the way our grandparents ran it.” [36:40] —Lou Di Palo on Food Talk
