I discovered Pork Chops & Vinegar peppers when I lived in the North End beginning in 1984. Richie Longo and his brother in-law "Tudu" pickled their own peppers and served them with grilled pork chops at The Corner Cafe on Prince near the corner of Salem. Over the years, nearly all the restaurants in the North End put them on their menus, but Richie & Tudu's have always been a favorite. I was in Boston in October of 2009, and was delighted to see that Richie, Tudu, and the vinegar peppers are still going strong. Best regards, Skip Lombardi Hi Franco,

When Nonna made them back in the 50's and early 60's, you couldn't find them in a restaurant. Then why would you want to eat Italian food in a restaurant when you had grandma and mama cooking? I'll be making my own pork chops and vinegar peppers tonight. I grew up in the North End. When Nonna made them back in the 50′s and early 60′s, you couldn’t find them in a restaurant.

We're going to try it for dinner this evening. Our family prefers Vigo pepperoncini which curiously are a product of Greece and are made with real vinegar! Skip & Holly,
