Chef Simone Falco Says it's OK to Eat Pizza Every Day
Chef Simone Falco is known for his authentic Italian cuisine, and also for fact that he just "Beat Bobby Flay" with his Ossobucco recipe. Falco stops by Cheddar to let us try the winning recipe, and also to tell us about his new fast casual restaurant, SIMÒ Pizza.
Each pizza at SIMÒ will be priced at around $10, with vegetarian and vegan options available. Falco says that the low-carb craze isn't really affecting the pizza business. He believes that done right, with natural ingredients, pizza can be healthy. He eats pizza every day.
Falco also explains why he's getting into the quick-service restaurant space after the success of his Neopolitan eateries, Rossopomodoro in the West Village and Rossopomodoro at Eataly. He's confident enough in the concept that he'll open one new location in February, and a second in the summer.

Low-value imports are losing their duty-free status in the U.S. this week as part of President Donald Trump's agenda for making the nation less dependent on foreign goods. A widely used customs exemption for international shipments worth $800 or less is set to end starting on Friday. Trump already ended the “de minimis” rule for inexpensive items sent from China and Hong Kong, but having to pay import taxes on small parcels from everywhere else likely will be a big change for some small businesses and online shoppers. Purchases that previously entered the U.S. without needing to clear customs will be subject to the origin country’s tariff rate, which can range from 10% to 50%.
Southwest Airlines will soon require plus-size travelers to pay for an extra seat in advance if they can't fit within the armrests of one seat. This change is part of several updates the airline is making. The new rule starts on Jan. 27, the same day Southwest begins assigning seats. Currently, plus-size passengers can pay for an extra seat in advance and later get a refund, or request a free extra seat at the airport. Under the new policy, refunds are still possible but not guaranteed. Southwest said in a statement it is updating policies to prepare for assigned seating next year.
Cracker Barrel is sticking with its new logo. For now. But the chain is also apologizing to fans who were angered when the change was announced last week.
