I know you just walked in. Do you mind if we chat with your mom a little bit? Maybe you can help, maybe you can translate? Dan Pashman: How are you feeling before you came in here for the first time? I know your husband had just passed away. What were you feeling in your life?

Ploumitsa: I'm so upset. I don't want to see nobody and I cry. My children work at a job. My, by myself in a home. Daughter Maria: She was depressed at home and didn't have anything to do and so I saw the advertisement on the computer and I just said that this would be a nice distraction for my mother to get over her grief for my father. So this is how we began and I didn't even tell her really, I just told her let's just pass by this restaurant. I didn't tell her the real reason for it. Daughter Maria: Because I thought that she would get overwhelmed. I said, why don't we just come to see this on your birthday, which was September 4th.

Ploumitsa: Maria said to me come to Staten Island to see this restaurant with this ladies thing, the grandmothers. I say okay. And I came here and I met [inaudible ]. Daughter Maria: Nonna Maria was in the kitchen with Nonna Adelina and they were chopping tomatoes, they were cooking. So my mother just basically went straight for them in the open kitchen and they started, I think they were even hugging and stuff, but they don't even know each other.

And then through their nonverbal communication, through their mannerisms, they started communicating and showing each other how they make their dishes. And so this is how they became connected right away. Dan Pashman: Ploumitsa says that most of the time she was married, her husband refused to let her work. There was a period where she defied him and found a job in a school cafeteria, but mostly she was at home.

Now once a month, she's the chef at Enoteca Maria. Ploumitsa: Everything. They make the octopus and they make eggplants, moussaka, eggplants with meat. Stew with potato and then carrots. Another one [foreign language ]. Stuffed cabbage. Ploumitsa: Yeah.

And they make every year. So now I'm very happy here to get very nice things for to make food for nice lady. That's it. I'm very happy. Daughter Maria: She has a big following. All these friends that she's just And also we connected with people from her past because somehow CNN, I think CNN was here or something and so CNN in Greece got a hold of the story and then all of a sudden she became a little mini celebrity over there overnight and she was in all the newspapers over there.

Daughter Maria: Even on the side, we at home, we make videos all the time of her recipes. I have her on a YouTube channel. This is like a second job for me. Daughter Maria: Yes, I think so. I'm becoming, yeah. Once she started at the restaurant and the reception from the customers, I haven't seen something like this before.

They were actually calling her from the kitchen to come and meet her. They were hugging her and they were like clapping for her and kissing her and it was just kind of like something I've never seen happen at a restaurant before. Dan Pashman: After meeting all the nonnas, it was finally time to eat. I'm excited for that one. Oh, I've been handed a plate. Dan Pashman: The spinach pie, yes. Melanzane is a baked eggplant dish. There was paella and tuna cakes and Russian perogies. There was Dolly's Christmas cake and an Armenian dessert called [palkableat ], similar to a donut.

I mean I could go on and on. Then of course there was the spinach pie, the Spanakopita. It was made by Nonna Ploumitsa, who you heard a minute ago. Dan Pashman: This is the great thing about working with nonnas is that they all want you to eat. Speaker 3: Yes. Sells out every time she makes them for us.

Delicious eh? Dan Pashman: I will. I will. I've got to make sure I try everything.

I've got to tell Nonna Maria. I've got to grab a fork to try the zucchini parm. Dan Pashman: Oh my God. This is so good. Nonna Maria the Zucchini Parmagiana is bellissimo. Dan Pashman: You know a lot of times in America when they make parmigiana, they put lots of mozzarella cheese, but no parmigiana. Dan Pashman: I was doing my best to try everything, but it was intense.

You know how your grandma pushes food on you? Imagine a party with 20 grandmas where you're the only grandchild. They all wanted me to try the thing they made and they all wanted to make sure I liked it and when I did like it, they wanted me to have more. As the party progressed, trays of food started getting passed all over the place.

Dan Pashman: Ground meat and onions. All right. I'm going in. Oh my God. The spicing on this one and the beef. I don't even know what that spice is, but it's so good. And it's got the sweet onions, it's salty and doughy.

Every food at this event feels like a hug. Dan Pashman: Everything is so good, but I can't finish everything that these nonnas have been giving to me because I would literally die.

But I also feel like if I leave some on my plate and they see that, that's going to be a problem. So I need to kind of discreetly do something with these plates. Discreetly dispose of them. Dan Pashman: In the end, I think I managed to try just about everything. As the party slowed down I checked in with Jody.

He opened this restaurant 12 years ago after his mother and grandmother passed away. Now here he was surrounded by mothers and grandmothers. What do you think your mom and your grandmother would have thought of this crowd? Jody Scaravella: Well, you know, I only wish they were here now to celebrate this Christmas with us. That's my wish. Dan Pashman: Do you feel that opening this place has done for you what you hoped it would do?

Jody Scaravella: That's a question that I ask myself often. I think you have to lose your mom, you kind of feel orphaned and it's very difficult. It was very difficult for me. I think this has helped me through that grieving process, but I think there's something about losing your mom that you never really get over that.
