From the short article:
In this year’s SAVEUR 100, we take stock of our favorite things: recipes, people, places. We consider every last one a new classic.
By The Editors…We didn’t expect to find honest-to-god Italian food in Richmond, Virginia. But among the low-slung buildings in the Oregon Hill neighborhood, we discovered Mamma ‘Zu. Ed Vasaio’s candlelit restaurant is part trattoria, part neighborhood clubhouse. And the food! Penne all’amatriciana. Garlicky dandelion greens. Bold, bright antipasti like roasted red peppers with anchovies served in huge family-style portions. A hit when it opened in 1993, it’s now a legend.
Also includes a recipe for roasted red pepper and anchovies.
Mama Zu gets good words in Saveur magazine http://t.co/zBu9kHe6
And there is nothing in the eye,
Shut shutter of the mineral man
Who takes the fatherless dark to bed
The acid sky to the brain pan
And calls the crows to peck his head.

My love and best regards to all at Mama ‘Zu. Thank you for so many good memories. Good wishes for the new year. And thanks again, Ed for bringing that magnum of Valpolicella to Three Kings Day …. ah, so long ago. See you soon … now that I’m nearby again.
