Pepe Secco translates to “dried pepper”. Pepe also is a shortened nickname for Giuseppe, that is, Joe. “Dried Joe” is the Italian idiomatic nickname of a long-ago Chicago restauranteur. Pepe and his wife “Filly”, Philomena, opened a small restaurant inside their home in Chicago’s old Italian-town during the Great Depression. It’s still there … now historical and under a different name.
