This week’s entry is a
tasty history lesson about one of our featured vendors on: Wonder-Munch!; The
Fun-For-all Food & history tour experience of Fort Lauderdale
Destined for gastronomic
greatness by his birthright and in his own right, 6 year-old Giuseppe Jr. left
his home in the Mediterranean at the "heel of Italy's boot" in 1902
and crossed the Atlantic with his family to explore America. There, he served
the well-heeled citizenry of Boston at his father's grocery store but that's if
they happened to be in the market for great pasta as young Giuseppe was never stocking
shelves or sorting supplies; Instead he was always making and sampling pasta.
Penne to bombolotti to spaghetti, his passion for producing the perfect pasta
soon earned him the nickname "Noodles", which would stick with him
for the rest of his life. Remembering fondly childhood summers visiting his
aunt and uncle in Venice, Noodles retired to the Venice of North America; Fort
Lauderdale, Florida and that is where I met him and basked in the warmth and
humor of his inspiring stories.
So it was only natural that when family and I, first around the dinner table and then around the drawing table, designed our sandwich and pasta place, we named it Noodles Panini, in honor of another food-loving family. And in case you've heard that it was the Earl of Sandwich and not Grandpa Nunzio who invented the sandwich, remember that in food, as in life, anything is possible. So stay open to new ideas and fresh tastes...and eat plenty an often at Noodles Panini.
