cacio e pepe - monteverde
To the point where no matter what else we order as a table, we order a round of them for the table so everyone has their own plate that lets them luxuriate in the fresh pasta and insanely great cheesyness.

@SALAD_VALET Facts. I've been a few times where it is off seasonally and it just does not make sense. Like man, we want cheesy stuff in the summer too, especially cuz we can eat outside finally.

Cacio e pepe supremacy
This is the goat of the pasta universe. It’s also totally chilled to not always know how to pronounce it. It’s cah-chee-o-ee not cuck-eyo-ee.

Cacio E Pepe Gnocchi
I’m only recently becoming TJ pilled because I don’t have a convenient location near me but this video where this guy reviews all their frozen pastas got me to make a special trip. Essentially, all of their gnocchi items are exceptional. The cacio e pepe gnocchi in particular blew his mind because he has a whole video of himself trying and failing to make an authentic cacio e pepe recipe (which is literally just pasta water and parmigiano reggiano) and was stunned at the experience that came from a frozen bag. Anyway, I bought all the gnocchis and the cacio e pepe was very tasty.

remember that it truly is all still ahead of you
Even if you end up having to go somewhere else, there still will be culture to get involved in, people to meet, things to learn, realizations to be made. All of that is still right there for you and it will be open in a way you won't even realize until you've done like a year or two. So it's truly still exciting times. As long as you feel generally good about the place you ultimately choose, your time is coming.

Completely missed this performance, just harpsichord and Bjork alone transforming a club song is crazy.
