Personal Notes:
Dated 1972 - This dish was created and served by Marocco's Restaurant at 19th and Pennsylvania Ave in DC. It was inspired by my father, Ed Sciullo, Sr and could be found on the regular menu as "The Lawyer's Dish". When he ordered it they used hot Italian peppers to "kick it up a notch" as we say!
