There Will be Gangsters

<p>Today we are having a chat with my good friend, Charles Draghi --universally called "Chuck."  Chuck inhabits the rarified strata of top chefs in Boston, mentor to many, revered by diners at his restaurant Erbaluce, and lauded by the critics. Before all that, he was a chef in Boston's North End, one of the country's last Little Italys, where locals and tourists go for color and red-sauce flavor.  It's where Chuck served up the kinds of dishes unheard of in this traditional iconic Italian neighborhood. The restaurant was called Marcuccio's. And yes, there are a few gangsters involved.</p><p><i>Photo Courtesy of Chris Glionna</i></p><p><i>Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network, support Let's Talk About Food by </i><a href="http://heritageradionetwork.org/donate"><i>becoming a member</i></a><i>! </i></p><p><i>Let's Talk About Food is Powered by </i><a href="http://simplecast.com/"><i><strong>Simplecast</strong></i></a><i><strong>.</strong></i></p>
