About this episode

What happens when a Lower Manhattan red-sauce legend goes global? Chef, restauranteur, and Major Food Group co-founder Mario Carbone gives a rare look behind the scenes at how he scales restaurants, curates experiences, and transports the magic of Carbone’s Thompson St. kitchen to grocery aisles everywhere, all without losing the New York flavor the hospitality giant was built on.
