NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – In the latest episode of The Dig, CBS2’s Elle McLogan takes a culinary tour of “Little Italy” in the Bronx. Her guide is Italian-born cook Beatrice Tosti, owner of East Village restaurant Il Posto Accanto . WEB EXTRA: Feast Of San Gennaro: Italian Heritage, Tony Danza, And Cannoli Overload Here are Tosti’s top shopping tips: 1. Know where your food comes from. Tosti entrusts Calabria Pork Store with the cheese for her restaurant. “How amazing is it that you know the person that made the cheese? I am so happy to sell it and say, ‘They made it in front of me,’” Tosti said. “Buying like this, there is some love. I believe in energy that goes in what we feed people. And I know that I love all the guys here. I know they’re going to pick the best piece for me. I know they’re not going to give me something that is not right.” 2. Follow the crowd. The Arthur Avenue Retail Market is heavily trafficked, which Tosti sees as a testament to the freshness of its products. “I like to shop in busy places because it means there’s a lot of turnover.” WEB EXTRA: Tony’s Table: Italian Style Comfort Food 3. Find what’s fresh. Tosti visits Arthur Avenue at least once a week to select ingredients at the peak of freshness. When it comes to seafood, she has a strategy: “Usually, I poke it, so everybody hates me,” she said. “It’s not supposed to smell. It is supposed to be nice and glistening. It is supposed to [have] a clear eye.” 4. Ask for help. “Everybody [on Arthur Avenue] is so nice,” she said. “I like to make [Pasta alla] Genovese in the winter, and I make it with veal. [Mike at Peter’s Meat Market ] is like, ‘No, don’t make it with veal. Make it with beef.’ Everybody has their own little opinion on how to make things.” Randazzo’s Seafood 2327 Arthur Avenue Bronx, NY 10458 Peter’s Meat Market Arthur Avenue Retail Market 2344 Arthur Avenue Bronx, NY 10458 Boiano Foods Arthur Avenue Retail Market 2344 Arthur Avenue Bronx, NY 10458 Calabria Pork Store 2338 Arthur Avenue Bronx, NY 10458 What’s something few people know about but everybody should?
