Monday Morning Lasagna

Look at that lasagna to the left. Don’t you just want to go face down in that pan? The picture was taken by David Brawley, a well-know Dallas baker and pastry instructor at Le Cordon Bleu Institute of Culinary Arts. (I can still taste the bread he made at Salve. R.I.P.) Anywhoo, Mr. Brawley, who also created the dough for pizza at Fireside Pies, trained at Antica Pizzeria in SoCal and the Associazone Verace Pizza Napoletana certified him as a maker of true Neapolitan pizza. Antica Pizzeria was the first restaurant in the US to bear the seal of approval of Verace Pizza Napoletana Association. Campania Pizza in Southlake and Cavalli Pizza in Irving are the only local spots with this distinction. Anywhoo, David Brawley sends us some food porn. And we love food porn. Perfect way to start any day.

Antica Pizzeria is a great place…that is where I trained as well. The pizzaiolo in the pics, Jose Barrios, is from Mexico City but has trained with the Neapolitans for nearly 20 years. He competes in the annual PizzaFest in Naples every year. Such a great teacher. Here are a few pics from my training days:

Also – if you want to try Neapolitan pizza but don’t want to go to Southlake or Irving, I’ll be making pizzas at Times Ten Cellars in Lakewood on Wednesdays -see the post on SideDish down below.

Salve RIP. Sometimes, er…many times, undeserving restaurants fall on the fickle Dallas food sword.
