Formella Gourmet

The story of Formella Gourmet begins more than 100 years ago, when Sicilian Enrico Formella immigrated to the U.S. from Sicily. While on the voyage across the Atlantic, he married his wife Rosina and unknowingly clinched his position as a global distributor of fine Italian food. It began with the couple’s giardiniera recipe, which ascended to stardom in the South Side of Chicago. That's where the couple put down roots. Since the fateful day in 1909 when Formella decided to make his family’s cooking his business, ownership of the empire has passed to three grandsons. Together since the first half of the 20th century, they’ve preserved the family’s recipes for pasta sauce, stuffed olives, bruschetta spreads, and escaping Chicago's intense Model-T traffic jams.

The Groupon Guide to: Mythic Origins

All great figures of mythology are born of an equally mythic origin story that endures throughout centuries of retelling. How did some of your favorite heroes, monsters, and goddesses come to be?

  • Athena: Sprang fully grown from the head of Zeus
  • Ares: This noble god of war was born on the battlefield and is usually portrayed in sculpture as a naked baby swinging an ax
  • Dionysus: Sprang fully grown from the thigh of Zeus
  • Arachne: Swallowed hundreds of spiders in her sleep every year, just like you or I do, but partially became one instead of merely dissolving them with stomach acid like, I cannot stress enough, you yourself do, dozens of times, every night
  • Heracles: Sprang as a monocellular genetic package from a part of Zeus

Which Greek god is always portrayed as a baby with an ax?
