At the Counter with Natalia
This week Natalia goes solo but with LOTS to talk about!
Fay Maschler reviews Il Cudega in London Fields and gives it 4 STARS! The incredible Italian spot has just opened up for dinner and is serving dishes such as Risotto Milanese, Cotoletta alla Milanese, a beautiful deli selection and other traditional Lombardian dishes. Check them out!
We also talked about the beauty of hangover food, what are the favourites and a few interesting go-to’s from around the globe. Including but not limited to, the Czech Republic, Mongolia and Poland.
A few stories from Natalia’s American travels – the 100 year old Italian restaurant in Carroll Gardens, Ferdinandos Focacceria before a walk along the Brooklyn Promenade for the best view of Manhattan and a drop in on rap star Nas’ restaurant, Sweet Chick.
