For the second year in a row... The 60 (Plus) Coolest People in Food & Drink 2014 #18 Darrell Corti One sign of how cool this Italian-American Sacramento grocer is the fact that hell think the whole idea of being considered cool is just plain silly. Running the family business in the California capital is a full-time job, and he doesnt have spare moments for a lot of folderol. Of course, Corti is a grocer like Itzhak Perlman plays some fiddle. Corti is simply one of the most deeply knowledgeable food and drink experts in America, able to expound with equal authority on Chinese tea, Spanish vinegar, Central Asian wine, Italian pasta, and about 30,000 other gastronomic topics. The Corti Brothers online store, where you can buy their Italian specialties even if you don’t live in Sacramento, remains charmingly low-tech and straightforward, giving away very little about the vast treasures and culinary knowledge amassed by this family. Corti, a member of The Daily Meal Council, knows everybody worth knowing in his chosen field, and everybody knows him. They call him The Professor. If youve never heard of him, well, that sort of makes him even cooler, you know?
