History

Adapted from a recipe created by Sother Teague as an accompaniment to Osso Buco, a classic Italian dish of slowly braised cross-cut veal shanks, for the Sauced podcast (Season 1, Episode 32). The Ponte Vecchio name means "Old Bridge" in Italian, a reference to the iconic covered wooden bridge in Bassano del Grappa, Italy.
