Summary
Romano comes to America with nothing but his pride, his anger, and one marketable skill: Cooking.
Years later, the food remains—too much, too rich, not authentic—but filling in all the ways that matter.
Food history liberties were taken lovingly—I did my homework, but tweaked some details for storytelling, so please don’t roast me if it’s not 100% historically perfect.
(Basically expanding Romano’s immigrant experience in America, with lots of my own headcanons.)
