00:00 The following portion of the Arizona Daily Mix is sponsored by the Sicilian Butcher.
00:08 Spring is in the valley and that means the new menu for the Sicilian Butcher is here
00:12 and to tell us all about it, of course, is Chef Omar.
00:15 And Chef, I will say, we had to start on the cannolis.
00:19 Can't forget the cannolis.
00:20 We can't.
00:21 We definitely can't.
00:22 But we're going to hold off on those.
00:23 We're going to go back and talk to those because we want to talk about the spring menu first
00:27 and this was launched last week and you're excited about it, aren't you?
00:29 Yeah, so we launched it last week.
00:32 It's an array of new entree dishes, pasta dishes, everything, including the dessert.
00:38 So we have a baked gnocchi on the menu that's baked in the cast iron so you get all the
00:42 cheesiness from it.
00:44 Our steak, it's grilled.
00:45 It's traditionally just, it's breaded, a little balsamic.
00:49 We finish with a little olive oil on capers.
00:52 Our hand-leaf fresh stretched pizza.
00:54 Then we have a pork milanesa.
00:57 And so yeah, we have definitely, it fits for everyone.
00:59 I love this.
01:00 And let me just make sure people understand this.
01:02 This isn't TV food.
01:04 This is actually what you get in the restaurant.
01:05 Absolutely.
01:06 You guys make sure that they are fed like an Italian.
01:09 Absolutely.
01:10 We have plenty to go around, freshly made.
01:14 Definitely we definitely pride ourselves in what we do and how we do it.
01:16 I like it.
01:17 All right, before we get to dessert, you got a little demonstration here.
01:19 This is something else that's important on the menu.
01:21 Yeah, so this is more seasonally.
01:22 We have a prosciutto melone.
01:25 Little take on the prosciutto and melon salad that everyone makes.
01:30 So this here is a stracciella, which is a whipped burrata, burrata cheese, freshly sliced
01:36 prosciutto.
01:38 Then we have our cantaloupe and honeydew.
01:41 We macerate these in a little simple syrup with basil and mint.
01:46 So we get that spring, summer flavor, a little sweet.
01:51 Then we finish it with a little, obviously a good olive oil.
01:54 Melt in the mouth.
01:56 Yeah, absolutely.
01:57 Very seasonal, very fresh.
02:01 So we definitely try and pride ourselves into seasonality, you know, a chef driven concept.
02:07 You know, Joey and the familia has been there forever.
02:09 So they do it right.
02:10 Chef Joey knows, the whole family knows how to make something really amazing.
02:13 So this is interesting.
02:15 I didn't know that there was a little bakery there.
02:17 Yeah, yeah.
02:18 So this is where all the food comes from.
02:19 So yeah, they're all attached.
02:20 The bakery is attached.
02:21 So we have a bar for you can build your own cannolis, different flavors.
02:26 We go with the seasonal flavors as well.
02:28 Then we have tomorrow is St. Joseph's Day tomorrow.
02:32 So we have a zeppole, which filled in with a little bit of pastry cream.
02:36 And then we have.
02:37 And that's the little ones right here.
02:38 Yeah, that's the one behind it.
02:40 Right here?
02:41 Yeah.
02:42 Okay.
02:43 And then this is our green tart.
02:44 That's just a little mini version of it.
02:45 So it's a baked ricotta and you can get all this stuff at the bakery.
02:47 I love it.
02:48 So you can get an array of cookies, seasonality, freshness, coffee, what you will.
