"I go back to Rome at least once a year to see what's going on and get inspiration. A lot of the craft and energy of Roman cuisine has been waning over the past 10-20 years...It's harder to find [great] restaurants in Rome now. "
"Cooking has become a very public thing in New York City."
--Nick Anderer, Executive Chef at Maialino
