David shares how growing up in the Bay Area shaped his love for fresh, seasonal ingredients, and how he fuses California’s bounty with Italian culinary traditions. He dives into his deep affection for Calabrian chili bomba, his family roots, and the creative influences that continue to inspire his cooking—both at the restaurant and at home.
In the second half of the episode, John and Andrea chat with Gian Paolo Celli of Tutto Calabria, the company behind some of the finest Calabrian chili products in the world. They explore the brand’s rich heritage, the distinctive flavor of Calabria’s regional peppers, and what makes their chilies a staple in kitchens around the globe.
Spicy, heartfelt, and packed with flavor, this episode is a celebration of tradition, heat, and home cooking.
