Valentino’s Trattoria, a well-liked neighborhood Italian restaurant in Summerville, South Carolina, has had its share of difficulties, but Restaurant Impossible is stepping in with a significant makeover.

It’s reasonable—chicken seems like a modest, even healthful option. It’s more than just chicken, though, spiritually. Similar to beef, pork, or lamb, chicken is regarded as meat in Catholic tradition. Ash Wednesday, a solemn day of fasting and abstinence intended to reflect Christ’s sacrifice and set the tone for the 40 days of Lent, is therefore off-limits.
