Today’s guest is Angie Rito, co-chef and co-owner of the beloved West Village spots Don Angie and San Sabino. Angie and her husband Scott Tacinelli are known for their inventive, craveable takes on Italian-American food.

Angie joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about life at the restaurants, her pivot from journalism to the kitchen, and the story of her family’s popular neighborhood bakery in Cleveland. She shares how growing up around the bakery shaped her love of restaurants and Italian-American food, which continues to inspire her.

They also talk about The Hot Dog Edit, Cherry Bombe’s one-day-only pop-up at Rockefeller Center in partnership with OpenTable and Visa, happening Thursday, May 28th. Angie is one of the featured NYC chefs, alongside Michelle Palazzo and Sohui Kim. Her dream dog that we’ll be serving? An Italian combo hot dog wrapped in speck and topped with pepperoni aioli, shredded iceberg, red onion, and pepperoncini vinaigrette.
