A Brief History of
“The Prospector” |
Bobby Martino's, cousin's, sister's, daughter's, Uncle, Giovanni built a
cabin in the area of downtown
Twain Harte way back in the 50's. He fed his family piping
hot flat breads right out of his wood fired oven. His pies were
topped with crushed tomatoes, fresh wild herbs, and mozzarella made from
wild harvested venison milk, also in the absence of olive oil he used a
drizzle of rendered duck fat affectionately called "duck butter".
The cherished family oven brought to San Francisco from
Italy , including
a stormy passage through the treacherous
Cape Horn area survived the long
journey. It was then carried to the Mother Lode in a mule drawn
wagon. Giovanni's great grandfather Piero journeyed with the oven
from
Naples in search of gold in
these illustrious golden hills. He found that gold in Pizza!
Thanks to the wonders of modern professional renovation we still find
gold with that oven today!
