Description:
Today, Bon Appétit spends the day with Nonna Maria, one of the resident grandma chefs at Enoteca Maria on Staten Island. At 90 years old, Maria has been cooking Italian food longer than most bringing a lifetime of experience and flavor to her dishes. “Enoteca Maria is a place where we invite grandmothers from all over the world in to cook their traditional dishes. Nonna Maria has been working here for about 10 years now, and she lights up the place as soon as she walks in the door. She’s 90 years old and runs around like she’s 16.”<br/><br/>Director: Gunsel Pehlivan<br/>Director of Photography: Luke Riffle<br/>Editor: Misa Qu<br/>Featuring: Maria Gialanella<br/>Director of Culinary Production: Kelly Janke<br/>Creative Producer: Parisa Kosari<br/>Coordinating Producer: Tommy Werner<br/>Line Producer: Joe Buscemi<br/>Associate Producer: Oadhan Lynch<br/>Production Manager: Janine Dispensa<br/>Production Coordinator: Fernando Davila<br/>Camera Operator: Carlos Araujo<br/>Assistant Camera: Tony Aviles<br/>Sound Recordist: Lily Van Leewen<br/>Staff Editorial Consultant: Ryan Harrington<br/>Culinary Researcher & Recipe Editor: Vivian Jao<br/>Post Production Supervisor: Andrea Farr<br/>Post Production Coordinator: Scout Alter<br/>Supervising Editor: Eduardo Araujo<br/>Assistant Editor: Justin Symonds<br/>Filmed on Location at: Enoteca Maria
