My turn:

by Sean Blackwell

ABOUT SEAN BLACKWELL In every issue, EDGE of the Lake invites a local chef or restauranteur to visit another eatery on the Northshore. This issue we invited Cucina Cangemi’s General Manager, Sean Blackwell. The owners Serdar Tiglioglu and Tom O’Keefe were two of the original owners of Italian Pie. Cucina means kitchen in Italian, and Cangemi was the last name of one of the original owners of Italian Pie. When he passed away from cancer, Tiglioglu and O’Keefe decided to name their new restaurant as an homage to him. The menu at Cucina Cangemi is classic Italian with a splash of southern Louisiana and a Mediterranean flair.
