Eater Maine has published the first part of an extensive interview with Stephen Lanzalotta.
The concept of Sicilian street food is a unique one in these parts. What should we expect to see?…We want to bring a fresh meeting place — not that that hasn’t been done, there are other places where people meet — but the idea is to take this ancient culture and make it viable in the 21st century. It’s like, Hey, this is a hip aspect of Sicilian culture — sharing a bite with someone else and lingering, or not. That’s the beauty of it. You can grab a bite here and go out, or linger and get several things and make a meal.
Update: Part 2 of the interview is now available on Eater.
Lets see if he cooks as good as he talks. Pizza is one thing, a full Sicilian menu is quite a different thing.
^^ I sure hope he can because it sounds wonderful and a concept that would be much appreciated.
