In Spain, food has a different meaning. It’s both fuel and fun, consumed and enjoyed in a series of small, snack-like bites throughout the day. This all begins with a family meal, meat from a whole pig’s leg sliced onto bread for a portable breakfast. As the workday rolls to…

Around these parts, there’s a lot of trepidation when it comes to finding good Italian food.
