Teach your tastebuds the tale.
Welcome to Italian America...where we find the foods that we have come to love here in America and research their immigrant journey and origins and how they became renowned favorites all over the US. But are these same foods found all over Italy where we thought they originated?

Cuisine always speaks to the culture of a place. We wonder: why do these people eat this food, prepared this way, using these ingredients?

Between 1880 and 1921, approximately 4.2 million Italians came to America. These immigrants, no longer separated by region, were put into the same tenements and neighborhoods, isolated to themselves and labelled as one group: Italians. From there, their uniquely regional cuisines combined; they helped each other locate ingredients and substitutes. They survived and thrived.

This is the story of how the food they brought with them, became what we know it to be today. But did it really come from Italy?
​
Welcome to Italian America...with your host Cara Di Falco.
Full pitch available.
