SUNDAY SAUCE

It's a well known fact that Tony wished he was Italian. You can see (hear) him say many times in his various Travel Food Shows that he dreamed of being Italian, and wished he had an Italian Grandmother (Nonna) to cook all the famed Italian dishes for him. And no Italian Restaurant could ever cool you better Italian Food than by an Italian Nonna. And there is no more Supreme Dish in the Italian Community than Sunday Sauce (aka Gravy), and Tony Loved just as much as any Italian born. "Well" ? Anyway, just because we Love Anthony so much, we'll (Italian-Americans) make Tony an Honorary Italian-American. "Yeah, we Love Tony"

So what is Sunday Sauce. Well first off, there is quite a Big Debate over what it is called. Some call it Sunday Sauce, some call it Gravy, some Sunday Gravy, as Bourdain does, and some simply Ragu.

Ragu Napoletana is the original from Naples Italy, and is made from sever different cuts of meat, browned, then slowly cooked in tomato sauce. Depending on who is making the dish, the meats can vary. In Naples, the most popular array of meats are : Pork Ribs, Pork Sausages, and Beef Chuck Steak or Roast. You can also put in Meatballs, Pork Neck, and Prok or Beef Braciole, or Pig Skin Braciole. This is the most popular way to make Ragu Napoletana, the original Sunday Gravy.

So Italian immigrants, immigrated to America, mostly from Naples and Sicily, and a smaller number from Calabria, Puglia, Abruzzo, and other parts of Italy.
