TODAY’S RECIPE

  • Chicken Vesuvio

    Published On: April 26th, 2026Categories: Chicken, Meals

    I found this recipe on the Food and Wine site and it has a very interesting history. It's an Italian-American dish that most likely got its name in the 1930's from the Chicago restaurant on 15 E. Wacker Street named Vesuvio. Or possibly it is believed that the name came from the sizzling garlic, white wine and potatoes resembling Mt. Vesuvius.
