Raleigh Chef Scott Crawford Gives a Peek Into Dishes for Brodeto | Eater Carolinas

"Opening this fall from chef Scott Crawford, this restaurant introduces Adriatic cuisine inspired by Croatia and coastal Italy, favoring lighter, seafood-forward dishes and preparations cooked largely over coals. The menu is expected to be about 60% Italian and 40% Croatian, and will always include a peka — a braised Croatian dish featuring proteins such as lamb, pork, or octopus — while the restaurant’s namesake fish soup will be a seasonal signature that can be made lighter or heartier depending on the time of year. Overall the food emphasizes familiar flavor profiles, seasonality, and nods to tradition, with an approachable, inspiring style meant to be accessible rather than intimidating." - Erin Perkins
