Try it at home!
Melt clarified butter in a non-stick pan. Scramble two eggs and add them to a hot pan, season with salt. Using a plastic spatula, start stirring the eggs as soon as they hit the pan. Once about 80% cooked, add your favorite cheese (the team likes chihuahua). Let the rest of the eggs rest under a lid for about two minutes before adding any other toppings (i.e. fresh asparagus, tomatoes, spinach), and then fold the omelet and serve.
SHEWOLF
Led by Chef Anthony Lombardo, SheWolf passionately works to serve contemporary Italian cuisine that is inspired by old Rome, so each plate artfully expresses the modern metropolis of Rome. The restaurant also features dishes from other regions of Italy such as Emila-Romagna, Piemonte, Campania, and Sicilia. Chef’s kiss!

SAN MORELLO
Inspired by the spirit and piazzas of southern Italy and Sicily, San Morello is chef Andrew Carmellini’s urban Italian neighborhood restaurant in downtown Detroit serving authentic wood-fired dishes, pizzas, and housemade pasta using local, seasonal ingredients.
