A Little Bit of Bitchin'
"Who here hasn't had ceviche before?" asked the bubbly blonde behind the kitchen demo counter. A show of hands went up. "Now take that hand and slap yourself with it." So was my introduction to Nadia G, the feisty, three-finger ring wearing, looks-like-she-should-be-in-front-of-a-camera-and-not-behind-a-mixing-bowl Italian chef personality from "Bitchin' Kitchen."
Following shortly behind Bobby Flay, who was spotted in Uptown in late September, Nadia stopped by Chicago for a food and wine tasting event with Apothic Wines.
Nadia takes a no-frills approach to cooking (minus the stilettos) yet puts a spin on traditional dishes, like pairing pineapple with ceviche and mixing bacon with apples.
While in town, Nadia gave a shout out to RPM Italian and head chef Doug Psaltis and sauntered over to Girl and the Goat following the event. Wonder how she feels about deep dish pizza?
