Meet the Chef St Pete – IL Ritorno with Candice Aviles

Kevin Godbee · Apr 30, 2018 · 0 min read

Here at St. Petersburg Foodies, our favorite new restaurant related TV Show is "Meet the Chef", starring CBS Tampa Bay News Anchor Candice Aviles.

Meet the Chef is an online show where the first season of eight episodes focuses solely on St. Petersburg, FL restaurants—just like us! Nice!

Episode 1 features one of our favorite restaurants, not only in St. Pete, but in the world—IL Ritorno.

Candice does a great interview with Chef David Benstock. You will also see how they make their pasta fresh, from scratch every day, by hand.

This video features the Lamb Tagliatelle, which is one of our favorites.

Watch the video and find out a great trick to do with the pasta water, and find out what Chef Dave's favorite secret ingredient is.

You might be surprised. We were.

I've always loved cooking. When I was 6-years old I wanted to cook. When my mom said that she was just running to the neighbor's and would be right back, I climbed onto the kitchen counter and found Lipton Instant French Onion Soup Mix. By the time my mom returned, I was stirring the pot on the stove, and proclaimed; "Look Mom! I'm cooking!"

In High School, I took three different cooking classes and got an A in each. After getting my first apartment, I used to cook 5-nights a week, and go out two nights. An old girlfriend from decades ago had a brother-in-law that was a CEO of a trucking company, and he used to entertain in Manhattan quite a bit ... and he started taking us along.

This was when I learned about gourmet food and fine wine. For a couple of years, Lori and I went out about 4-5 nights a week, but now we have a better balance of 50/50 between cooking at home, and going out to the amazing restaurants we are so lucky to have in our beloved Downtown St. Petersburg.
