Taste These Unique Eats

we all crave our grandmother's cooking right well what if there were a place that you could go anytime and get that home-cooked meal from anywhere in the world 9:00 to munch on ice and mangia that place exist in Staten Island just behind that scaffolding right over there meet Joe he's Italian by way of Brooklyn my name is Jody scarab Ella and I own Enoteca Maria we don't employ chefs we employ grandmothers would you look in the restaurant in 2006 you noticed something every culture was coming to the restaurant to celebrate these Italian grandmothers so I thought to myself unless would it be who celebrated everybody's culture and so none of the world was born there are probably somewhere between 30 and 40 grandmothers from different countries my name is Teddy Bock I from Nigeria my name is Lou both women from Moscow Russia cataleya vengo de Lima Peru - Sri Lanka hello Gary Kaplan Ireland from our menu we decided attention dinner each night there are two grandmother's cooking one is always Italian the other from somewhere else when they're in the kitchen cooking it's a completely different energy it's their day to shine it's their day to show what their cultural cuisine is all about you know it sounds kind of corny but they do cook with love and then feeling for Jose about more than the restaurants when I opened the Enoteca I was really grief-stricken my mom and my sister had passed it was comforting to have these grandmother's in the kitchen cooking and you know they would pinch my cheek and say you want to try this and at that point I realized that what we were doing was much bigger than I thought it was going to be when you walk through the restaurant if you listen every table that you pass by they're talking about their mothers well they're talking about their grandmothers it kind of evokes a trip down memory lane we've been called crazy a lot of times by a lot of different people we were coming with something that nobody had ever put on the table before so
