The Red Sauce Podcast
Welcome to the Red Sauce Podcast with Papa Joe, where we talk about anything and everything Italian and Italian American. I’m your host, Papa Joe, head winemaker, ”il capo vinaio,” at Piazza Talarico and Papa Joe’s Wine Cellar. Joining me are my daughters, Katie (Piazza Talarico’s front of house manager and former student of Italian language and culture), and Beth (our head cook and gangster movie aficionado). New episodes drop biweekly.
Episodes
In this episode, we talk about one of our favorite wines: Tannat. Papa Joe calls it the biggest of the big reds. This wine from the Madiran region of France, was brought to the new world by Basque settlers in the mid 19th Century, and has become the national grape of Uruguay. It only made its way to California in the 1990s, and is still sparingly grown in California and Virginia. Papa Joe's Wine Cellar is the only winery in Pen...
Today we discuss the family and work life differences with constant reversion to the food and wine aspects of Italian culture. We speak about the continental European influences mainly in the North, as opposed to the Greek, Spanish, Northern African, and Middle Eastern influences in the South. As also, we also talk about Pitt athletics and other local and regional issues.
In this episode, we discuss the differences in Southern vs Northern Italian cuisine and wine.

In this episode, we talk about all the notable Italian Americans in sports, why we love the New York Yankees and the Green Bay Packers (because of their Italians, of course!), and why one specific hockey coach will always be a favorite personality to the Talarico family. Sorry, we recorded this shortly before Tommy Cutlets’ short lived fame…
We're back after a long break. On this episode, we have a special guest, our very own Tom Hagen (Katie and Beth's brother and Papa Joe's son Matt Black). We discuss why Italian Americans love Mafia movies (even though, as everyone knows, the Mafia does not exist).

In this episode, we start off with a few updates on the future of Papa Joe's Wine Cellar and jump into tasting some really good Southern Italian wines that Katie has chosen for us.
Our guests this episode are Patrick and Jess O'Shea, two of our best customers and best friends. We discuss many of the great times we have had with them since we opened Piazza Talarico.
In this episode of the Red Sauce Podcast, we discuss our very own Papa Joe's Vino da Tavola (table wine). A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Franc, it is typical of wines that were traditionally called "Dago Red." If you are wondering how we can talk for 45 minutes about one wine from one small winery, this episode, as are most of our podcasts, is rife with our usual bullshit digressions.
Today we discuss the characteristics of Southern Italian Style wines and what differentiates them from the Tuscan, Bordeaux, etc. wines.
In this episode, we talk about Italian cured meats and our own experience with curing mostly Southern Italian salume (not to be confused with salami). As you have come to expect, this episode is full of bullshit Papa Joe digressions, as well as a few from Katie and Beth.
Today we talk about our origin; not only the origin of Piazza Talarico but the origin of the Talarico family in the US when our great grandfather "got off the boat." We also give a shout out to Damar Hamlin, who made great progress in his recovery on the day this was recorded.
Today we speak with our special guest, Madison Talarico. Madison is our niece and Grandma Deb and Papa Joe's granddaughter. Those of you who are regulars know Madison well. She works with us very often when she is not in school.
In this episode we talk about some of the food and personalities we encountered in a recent trip that Beth and Papa Joe took to New York to watch the Pitt basketball team and tour the three little Italy neighborhoods. We went to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, Mulberry Street in Manhattan, and Little Italy in Brooklyn. We have made that visit many times, but always come back with some new ideas and meet some interesting old Italians ...
In this episode, we speak to Zack Talarico, our nephew, Papa Joe and Grandma Deb's Grandson, and aficionado of authentic Southern Italian food, vintage Ford trucks, and everything high tech.
Today we interview Larry Lagattuta, aka "Enrico" of Enrico Biscotti Co. He speaks about baking bread and Italian pastries, discusses growing up Italian in the Hill District, talks about a friend who is an international jazz celebrity, and other interesting topics.
Today we speak with Myles Capel, a part of our family and the Pitt family. Myles comes in to work occasionally on his days off from school. We took questions from instagram and some of our own. This is the first episode of our bonus series that we will publish between our biweekly episodes. More to come!
Today we talk about macaroni, fresh vs. dried, and why Southern Italians eat mostly dried macaroni. We also briefly touch on risotto and polenta, mostly in northern cuisine but we like both nonetheless.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
