If you follow us on social, we probably fooled you: We’re not food scientists.

Nope. We’re just a marketing agency that loves to eat – and eat a lot.

From our chili cook-offs, wing-offs, Thanksgiving pot lucks, beer swaps, lunch outings, and “who-brought-this-cheesecake-in-the-kitchen-on-a-random-Tuesday?” moments, sharing food is an indelible and delectable part of our culture.

Why? Because it brings the Quattro family together. This holiday season, we wanted to share one of our favorite family recipes with you, in hopes you could share the celebration with us. Enjoy!

As much as we enjoy eating food (and we hope you enjoy this recipe), there are others who aren’t as fortunate that need our help, especially over the holidays. Please consider volunteering or donating to one of our favorite local charities leading the fight against hunger: Help Philabundance today.
