Today, I am very excited to welcome back The Italian Radio Hour Katie Parla. Her passport might say “Born in the USA” but her soul belongs to Rome. No one knows Rome better inside and out as a food er, culinary guide, and bestselling author, Katie has spent the last twenty years eating, researching, and, let’s be honest, obsessing over Rome’s food culture.

Her brand-new book, ROME: An Ode to Rome’s Food andCulture, is already available for preorder, and it’s packed with two decades of delicious discoveries.

Now, since I’m also from Rome, I thought — why not put ourknowledge to the test? So stay tuned, because today Katie and I are going head-to-head in a little friendly competition: Who Knows Rome Better?”
