Took my Bride out for a nice dinner in Gig Harbor last night. She wanted to get out of the house. She does not feel safe leaving the house by herself; I travel out of state for working during the week.

We found a small Italian restaurant that did not take reservations. We arrived at 5pm, as we did not want to wait. Place almost full. Meal was very nice, I am not an atmosphere guy, but the decor was fun for an independent Italian restaurant.

Caprese Salad
Beef rib
Veal piccata

About 14 hours later, the finished product. Started pulling apart as we took it out of the smoker to rest!

Il Lucano Ristorante Italiano​

The Chef was from Italy. Our server was from Romania. The lady at the hostess stand and working super hard was a mature woman and of Asian decent- but I would be surprised if she was of Korean decent. I speak basic Korean and usually can pick up if some is a native of South Korea.

The food was very good, but not excellent, nor outstanding. Overall we really enjoyed all aspects of the meal- but my buddy from Boston of Italian decent, who I will be working with on Tuesday in Washington D.C, would have been a bit disappointed on everything except the wine and the cannoli.

Great side story about my buddy of Italian decent from Boston. We met for a cup of coffee at a Italian Bakery outside of FT Belvoir, VA early on a Saturday morning about five years ago. He inquires about their cannoli. When was the filling made, when was the shell made, etc. He insists he needs to watch them put the filling in the cannoli shell-- he states cannoli shells can only be filled immediately before serving.

He is such a Italian food expert, annually to raise money for a charity, he auctions off a cooking class at his home, and the winner of the auction cooks a meal with him, and then eats the meal at his home. Every year the winning bid for his cooking class goes higher than the prior year as talk of how good his cooking and meals were spread among the bidders.

2 hours at 225F to woke. Then 3 wrapped in foil. Heating from 250up to 350 by the end. Some soya sauce and fruit juice to steam. Won't do soya again as it turned a little bitter.
