I chose to immerse myself into the Italian culture. Choosing this culture was not difficult because I am, according to AncestryDNA, 75% Italian and would love to learn more about where I come from. The only exposure that I have gotten in relation to the culture was when I traveled to Italy in June of 2017 and by living at home with my extended Italian family.

Be it the sauce-on-the-top deep dish of Chicago, the "pizza on a cracker" from St. Louis, or, God forbid, frozen—the United States loves this Italian entrée.
