UPDATE: Joe Cicala Weighs In On the Horse Meat Controversy


Thoughts on horse: I want to have it on our menu due to its Abruzzese cultural significance however I don’t want to be the 1st chef to do it

Bring it on, chef. I’ll be the first one in line at Le Virtu to try it.

Update: A response from chef Joe Cicala, bending to the will of @marcvetri who told him not to be scared. Vetri wants to put horse on his menu (but hasn’t said yet whether or not he will, so who’s scared now?) and Peter McAndrews is planning on serving horse at Monsu in the spring.

Peer pressure’s a bitch. Fine. @IanBrendle, find me a horse!
