Stanley Tucci is an award winning actor and filmmaker. Nominated for an Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA for The Lovely Bones (2009). The list of outstanding performances is endless, The Hunger Games, Burlesque, The Terminal, and of course The Devil Wears Prada and Julie & Julia, alongside the inimitable Meryl Streep.
Not content with being brilliant on the big screen, Stanley has also won an Emmy for his TV show Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy.
Nick nervously serves Stanley a negroni and Angela prepares one of his favourite meals, spaghetti alle vongole, with clams, white wine, garlic, parsley and crispy pangrattato (toasted breadcrumbs). Stanley is a man of taste, he talks Italian cooking with Angela, the importance of a leather shoe with Nick and casually drops names like Ryan Reynolds, Cher and Judi Dench into conversation. Stanley Tucci is the epitome of a dream dinner party guest.

We can’t all have a Michelin star chef in the kitchen, but you can ask Angela for help.
Send your dilemmas to dish@waitrose.co.uk and she’ll try to answer in a future episode.

I bet the Michelin star restaurant in the NY area Stanley mentions (not by name) is 11 Madison Park. He had to know what he was getting himself into, no? And who brings kids to a super expensive Michelin Star vegan restaurant?? Stanley, I think you’re great but you know better.
Yay! Loved this ❤
This was so much fun!!!!!!!!!!
Has become my favorite
This show with round table meals and a drink with friends and lots of laughs and the occasional hilarious table bang is the essence of life.
We love His Simple Recipes, for Pasta…. Stanley Tucci
This is honestly one of the best podcasts on the Internet. So genuine.
I've watched Angela from early crazy Gordon days, to great British menu to some show on channel 4 where you turn up to some randoms house and cook them a leftover meal from out of date products.
She deserves all the success on this planet. Brilliant show!
My mind immediately went to McSweeney's "leave the man alone!" 😂😭
The lighting in this episode is really wonderful. There’s a lot more definition and contrast. Love it.
Don't worry, Stanley got his Waitrose goodie bag!
Nick was a bit starstruck with Stanley … I like that
Did he get a bag?
Finally 🎉
ST got you a new fan…. cheers ahahhha
Brilliant
Too much laugher. If I said what he said would u laugh that hard? No
This is the best season of Dish by far. ❤️
Not difficult to figure out what restaurant he's talking about in NY. It's Blue Hill. Chef Dan Barber.
👏🏻😁👏🏻😁👏🏻
ICONICCCCX
Just love Tucci!!❤
Commenting on American drinking culture when you can literally walk into the supermarket and buy gun at 16😂
Sometimes when I watch these videos with famous people name dropping and laughing at inside jokes I wonder why were in on this at all.
So is he still going to do the British Isles show? I see this is from November of 2022. I really hope this show comes to fruition!
They’re a bit tipsy and just giddy
Yaaaasssssssss
Loved that ❤
Happy birthday NICK 🥳🥳🥳❤
Nice guy ❤
I want Angela to adopt me 🥹
I enjoy good food like Stanley, but also weirdly hate being barefoot like Stanley. Also this was one of the loveliest joyful things I’ve seen in my life.
Literally a man that dont need any introduction!
stanley tucci?????? how demure of you, dish. how respectful. how cute
Woohoo! Finally, yay!
FINALLY!!! ❤🎉❤
Omg🎉🎉🎉
How does Angela know everyone wtf
He’s a comfort foodie ❤
"They have a diet like Fagin is his father"! So funny.
I love Nick. He s so lovely, warm and a great host in general. But as with everything – de gustibus non est disputandum;)
Omg I could watch Stanley Tucci talk about toast and I would be sold .Love the man
We knew he would be on someday ….. Thank you ‘Dish’ aka Angela H and Nick G.
Ive always heard that it bruises the gin when you stir a martini vs shaking it. I have no idea if thats true or not.
Happy Birthday Nick . Hope you had a wonderful day.🎂
why are these episodes so short. maybe do a 3 course meal ?
Such a genuine, convivial gathering, despite the camera crew. No mean feat. Love all three.
In the words of the divine Siobhán Mcsweeney, "leave the man alone" 😂 Seriously, the BEST podcast known to humanity and this is the podvideo I've been waiting for. Thanks to Nick, Angela and the S:E Creative team, oh and Waitrose, for continuing to offer up exceptional content for us mere mortals 👍
Stanley Tucci knows his food.
I even love how elegantly he sprinkled the panagratato
