Twists And Traditions
In Chaffee, New York, a 42-year-old restaurant next to a farm field, where they're still doing chicken a la king from scratch. In Santa Cruz, California, a bait and tackle shop turned sit-down restaurant that's been serving home made Italian favorites and fresh calamari for more than 30 years. And in Cleveland, Ohio, the Mod Mex joint making tuna tacos with blood orange marmalade and guacamole with house smoked trout.

00:02:28 Okay, so now we're gonna make marinara for the raviolis.
00:02:30 first the tomatoes.
00:02:33 Canned tomatoes fortified with the basil.
00:02:34 And then we add oregano, chili pepper.
00:02:38 Then we stir it, and we're gonna let it cook.
00:02:40 then we turn the fire here, 'cause we do the second part. olio di oliva.
00:02:42 That's what I was gonna say.
00:02:46 Some great gilroy garlic.absolutely.
00:02:48 Oh, check this out-- some capers.bravo.
00:02:51 let it poach in the oil a little bit, and then we're gonna dump it in.that's correct.
00:02:55 Now how long is this gonna simmer after we put the garlic in?a couple hours.

00:04:55 Absolutely. a little bit ofvino.white wine.
00:04:58 these go down at the very end, because the calamari takes very little time to cook, and you don't want it to sit there and turn into rubber bands, correct?
00:05:03 Right.
00:05:04 we'll find a place for them.
00:05:07 Throw a lid on that. absolutely.
