00:00Bam is right, baby.
00:01Sicilian meets Creole meets love.
00:04Salvatore Lupo, a Sicilian immigrant,
00:06opened up Central Grocery on Decatur Street
00:08in the French Quarter.
00:09Farmers would come in at lunchtime,
00:11buy separate items, cold cuts, cheese, olive salad.
00:14This is where the muffledder was created.
00:16Not pure Sicilian, not Creole.
00:19It's the philosophy of different flavors coming together
00:22and it all making sense.
00:23Emeril Lagasse comes in later and does what he does,
00:26adds mozzarella, brings in Kalamata olives,
00:28and hits it with a bam.
00:30The muffledder is one of those sandwiches
00:31that the longer it sits, the better it becomes.
00:34So you gotta let it marinate.
00:36This sandwich is the history and why you go to New Orleans.
00:39I mean, I love the po' boy,
00:40but the muffledder, it's important, man.
00:43Emeril's addition to mozzarella, I ain't mad at it.
00:45It's delicious.
00:46Kalamata olives, add it to the jarred.
00:49Well done, Chef.
