Everything Pizza Expert Anthony Falco Eats in a Day | Food Diaries: Bite Size | Harper’s BAZAAR

hi i'm anthony falco i'm an international pizza consultant and this is everything i eat in a day so the first thing i do when i wake up make coffee i'm on the road and i got myself a little coffee grinder french press and i've got some good local coffee beans while the french press is steeping i make an oatmeal very simple just a little salt some arizona desert honey dried cranberries and sunflower seeds i am a cream in the coffee kind of person just a splash i like to put it in i don't know if this makes a difference but i like to put it in the cup first and then pour the hot coffee into the cream then i've got my coffee i've got my oatmeal and then i've got my little glass of orange juice that's how i get started sometimes i drink tea that's an afternoon thing i love iced tea iced tea is one of my favorite things we're out here in the desert it gets really hot a big iced tea full of ice with a lemon you know if i'm too wound up maybe a little chamomile at night it's nice to kind of take things down so after i eat breakfast a typical day for me right now is getting in an uber and going to the kitchen where i am working on developing the new menu for super freako in las vegas at the cosmopolitan hotel we're doing a lot of menu testing right now so it's cooking standing on my feet cooking i am menu testing so lunch is a little redundant when you're developing a menu if it was like a big pizza tasting day the day before i'll usually skip breakfast if i'm back home my preferred typical lunch is probably tacos i eat a lot of pizza and pasta and food that i cook for work and when i'm not eating that i like to eat tacos and mexican food actually one of my favorite things for lunch of all time is pad grappao and it's a thai dish holy basil chicken with a fried egg and rice it's one of my favorites it's like a perfect lunch chicken and rice a lot of cultures around the world have like a chicken and rice dish for lunch and that's it's kind of like the perfect balance of a little bit of protein and carbs and then throw some spice in there and that's what's good i always have my sourdough starter with me i travel with it all over the world and i have two different starters i have starter a and starter b aka starde b and one of them is kind of a basic kind of all-purpose flour and a plastic container you know it's a workhorse and then stardewbee's my like special starter i've only ever kept it in a glass container and i only feed it organic stone-milled flour so i think the favorite recipe that i developed for the cookbook is my sicilian grandma dough i love making it what i love about it is i made pizza for many years usually you have to stretch the pizza out with flour and you get flour on yourself and you get flour all over the place and on your shoes what i love about the sicilian grandma is after you mix the dough it goes in the pan there's some pressing out and it rises in the pan and then when it's time to make the pizza you just top it with whatever you want and you can cook it in a home oven in a toaster oven if you have a pizza oven you can cook in a pizza oven but it's just super flexible i'm excited about this recipe the sicilian grandma recipe it's a focaccia basically so you can top it and have it be a pizza or you can just bake it off put some sesame seeds on it and then cut it open and make a sandwich which is a good time do i snack throughout the day i'm not a huge snacker i am a fan of nuts i usually have cashews and pistachios and almonds around there's nothing usual about my schedule at all so i usually eat dinner it depends if i'm traveling abroad and the client wants to go to dinner then you know we may eat dinner late if i am at home and i'm having like a downtime office week eat dinner pretty early on the earlier side you know the kids eat around 6 30 and 7 and then we just go right into making dinner for ourselves if i've been on the road doing a lot of pizza testing i'm usually trying to keep it pretty carb free like a little grass-fed bavette maybe some broccoli roasted broccoli with olive oil and sea salt perfect dinner and on the earlier side do you want to eat too late it's hard to get up eat late get groggy beverage of choice at dinner is an easy one that is gonna be a pamplemoose lacroix i love lacroix i'm kind of a lacroix head i'm one of those natural wine dorks i love a good austrian natural white or rose pop that chill it drink that i am known to late night snack i like the dark chocolate peanut butter cups from either justin's or if you go to trader joe's and a couple of those at the end of the night maybe with a handful of the nuts that i've been snacking on all day is a good little one-two dark chocolate nuts peanut butter i don't think of myself as someone who gets hangry but i'm often accused of being hangry i probably get hangry um you know but that's what bananas are for usually that was if i'm starting to get hangry my wife is gonna bex is gonna be like here eat a banana you're being grumpy ingredient food that i actively avoid processed foods ingredients that have chemicals or stabilizers in it that's it other than that i'm down was a picky eater when i was a little kid and i am just always down to try everything now i think my favorite food city is probably bangkok can go to chinatown and there's go from stall to stall and eat all kinds of snacks and i mean the energy in bangkok is amazing definitely one of my favorite food cities my go-to comfort meal is spaghetti with tomato sauce if it's summer i usually make tomato sauce which is just roasted sun gold with salt and olive oil pureed and then start the pan with a little garlic olive oil pour that blended sun gold sauce let that sun gold reduce throw the pasta in there toss it all together a little butter a little parmesan put it on the plate olive oil more parm ultimate comfort food and that's everything i eat in a day thanks for watching and be sure to check out
