Actor, author, and podcast co-host Steve Schirripa of “Talking Sopranos” discusses dining out in New York City with The Sopranos cast, the surprise success of his podcast, and his ideal meatball.

The Sopranos premiered on cable television in 1999 and ended in 2007 after a six-year run, yet it continues to be one of the most revered television shows ever made. It's also the most well-known series about Italian Americans, a crime melodrama that wowed audiences with the first nuanced portrayal of a fictional mafioso from North Jersey, Tony Soprano (played by the late James Gandolfini).
