Every year on August 17th I celebrate risotto day in honor of one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Back in 2018 I went on a sibling trip to Greece. We were all craving risotto but we weren’t sure where to go to find it and we were in a time pinch. We ended up at a random restaurant and they ended up having 3 different kinds of risotto! We all ordered a different one and it was the best risotto ever. It might be a silly tradition, but I’ll take any excuse to eat risotto!
