This Is How You Arrive in Florence
You have just left your brother-in-law behind in Milan, not knowing how many more days he has to live. What you do know is that your daughter's summer cannot be defined by grief. And that someone in the car needs to hold steady. This is how you arrive in Florence anyway, yellow flowers giving way to rooftops, dread giving way to the city’s gold light, one long night before you understand what tomorrow will bring.
Ciao: Bistecca alla Fiorentina (or Exploring Florence’s Iconic and Most Substantial Steak)
...we always make a stop at our favorite restaurant just on the edge of the city center, 4 Leoni. And in most instances, no matter how hot or how hungry we may or not be, we order their massive Bistecca alla Fiorentina. Because this is a banger of a steak experience. Because of its sheer scale and specificity. Because of its cook, texture, flavor. It’s everything you love about steak on steroids.
