Chef in the Kitchen: Tabla's Anthony Cafiero Pinches His Pasta

If Masahiko Kobe from the original Iron Chef didn't already lay claim to it, Tabla chef Anthony Cafiero could totally be crowned the "Prince of Pasta." Eater goes into the kitchen with Cafiero as he mixes and rolls dough for agnolotti ("pinched" ravioli originating from Piedmont, Italy), then "stuffs" them with short ribs and tops 'em with a house-made butter sauce. Our first thought: That's a lotta eggs.
