Coney Island, Family Recipes & The History of Gargiulo's Restaurant w/ Chef Matthew Cutolo

I've lived in Connecticut most of my life and have always loved NYC but somehow I have never made my way to Coney Island. There is a certain familiarity it has always had to me from the movies, but truthfully, I've never heard stories of the real history it holds. Matthew Cutolo, chef at Gargiulos, talks to us about the Coney Island that once was, what it looks like today and the role his families restaurant has played in it all. From conversations on hosting guests like Leonardo DiCaprio, to the journey to launching their own jarred tomato sauce that you can purchase and use at home today. This conversation feels like you're listening to me sitting down talking with a long lost cousin...and you're invited. Whether the conversation of 'stinky cheese' and cannolis is new to you, or if you grew up surrounded by stories of old world Italian tradition, this is for you. Learn more about the Gargiulos here Follow Chef Matthew on socials @matthewcutoloSupport the show
