My great aunt and uncle owned an Italian restaurant (Mr. Scarp's, short for Scarpello) in New York, where I was born and partially raised. Since my sisters were quite a bit older than me and off doing teenage girly stuff, I hung out with my aunties at Mr. Scarp's when visiting and learned first hand from them how to cook Italian. The other half of my ethnicity is Polish, so when I wasn't learning from Auntie Rosa and Auntie Josephina, I was cooking with my Polish grandmama. I've often thought of opening a half Italian/half Polish restaurant. What do you think? When I was in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri during my defense career days, I ate at a similar "mixed cuisine" restaurant...half German and half French. It was incredible and quite a success according to the proprieterers, a husband and wife team - he from German roots and she from France.
