ciao italia

Chef/owner Jay Curzio invites Mary Ann to visit White Apron's busy catering kitchen to help him prepare his fork-tender, falling-off-the-bone, rich and hearty Osso Buco with Polenta. Room for dessert? You bet, when it's Mary Ann's Parmesan Cheesecake made with a crushed almond, twice-baked crust that gives this sweet, custardy treat a crispy crunch.
