Mike Gebert took a road trip to Iowa recently to film some behind-the-scenes footage at La Quercia in Norwalk, IA. La Quercia owners Herb and Kathy Eckhouse make some of the best dry-cured artisan salumi available, particularly prosciutto and guanciale. Jeffrey Steingarten called La Quercia's prosciutto "the best American or imported prosciutto [he's] ever tasted," while Bon Appetit once named La Quercia "Food Artisans of the Year."

When our "creature of habit" gene keeps leading us back to the same sandwich place (Milk and Honey) we can’t help but get excited when owner Carol Watkins opens another sandwich shop just down the block. She partnered with John Manion, former chef/co-owner of Mas to open Cipollina in the former Milk and Honey Bake Shop space. Cipollina offers several new Italian deli-style sandwiches and paninis we can throw into our "sandwiches close to home" rotation. Our favorite is identified on the menu by its ingredients: “prosciutto, arugula, chopped Calabrian peppers, parmesan truffle butter.”
