Deep cuts from Modo di Bere's interview with novelist, food writer and videomaker Giulia Álvarez-Katz.

During the Italian interview, RT and Giulia took a meal break, pairing an Italian Aglianico with New York bodega classic, the chopped cheese sandwich. This is what they talked about: Italian accents. The wonders of American cheese (yes, even with fish). Diasporic variations of backhome dishes. Including the unexpected combination that approximates Bhutanese yak cheese. The italian phrase "ci sta." Cat divas. The Wisconsin Brandy Old Fashioned. Who looks at their face on zoom. Who gets to write about New York City. If you love this show and want it to continue, support Modo di Bere on Patreon.  www.patreon.com/MododiBereAscolta il podcast in Italiano / Listen to the podcast in Italian!Cerca / Search: Modo di Bere ItalianoThe podcast is on YouTube @mododiberepodcast Modo di Bere is a multiplatform publication by Rose Thomas Bannister.
