Kanella on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate
 |
Chef Konstantinos Pitsillides tells Meal Ticket his Cypriot restaurant (1001 Spruce St.) will be featured on a Jan. 22 episode of the Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate. (If you haven't seen the show, it's basically a strung-together series of sit-down interview segments featuring FN chefs, hosts and other food personalities discussing their most cherished dishes.)
Pitsillides, who chuckled when we asked him if he's ever watched the show before ("No"), tells us FN came in and filmed him preparing his Cyprus Breakfast plate, a killer spread of olive oil-fried eggs, halloumi cheese, lounza (smoked pork) and fresh-baked bread. The network wouldn't tell Pitsillides which talking head picked the dish as the best thing he/she ever ate. Could be anyone, really, but we'd be inclined to put our money on either Iron Chef Jose Garces or Unwrapped host Marc Summers, whose production company is based locally.
It could also be Giada! Her husband is a buyer or something like that for Anthropologie, and they were here as a recently as a few months ago.
Hm, I was there a few months ago and they invited us to the filming (we didn't go). They said the "best" dish was their Moussaka which is, really, one of the best things I have ever eaten. Their breakfast is great, too, though.
on thursday or friday one of the foods on "the best thing I ever ate was Chucray Jerkey in Cleveland Ohio. Im not sure of the spelling of the name. could you give me any info i.e. website, phone number or e-mail address even the correct spelling would be helpful. thanks dave richardson
I'm rewatching the episode now. The name is I'm rewatching that episode now. The name is Czuchraj Meats. Never would I have guessed that!
Ordered the Czuchraj Jerky. Without a doubt one of the greatest things I have ever eaten. They ship it to you (shipping not cheap). Incredible!
