Your description of the food that you're going to eat is the hors d'oeuvre.
Yes we want recipes

No Chef Boyardee… get outta here!
He is reading this off the computer. Templeton Rye is a whiskey not a beer.
🇲🇽
The Green Mill is still there with the same name
Green Mill is actually still around. Longest running jazz club in Chicago, although it's not as much of a jazz club anymore. The neighborhood is kind of rainbow friendly now, if you get my drift
I think it would be great if you tried to cook these mobster’s favorite meals it would be interesting asf
right: "mutti" is by far the best brand of canned tomatoes.
Who gives a crap what they ate.
You’re not gonna believe this, he killed 16 Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator!
You can't go wrong with a nice steak
It's funny that my brother only uses Mutti tomatoes.
Find it hard to believe people think you can only get good food in new york. I found the food there awful.
What
The word he used rhymes with link
Just reading straight from chat GPT
How about, any fucking thing they wanted to eat?
They guys owned restaurants. Business men. First. They built Vegas
Ran it better
Politicians wanted this action.
Havced these guys out of the picture
Now is a disaster.
New York. Is still the best.
Michael franzese great video
I would like to try the pasta with walnuts sounds good
My favorites are pasta al forno, pasta al grica
My family is from Santa Maria Infante LT, Italy
And yes MUTTI is my go to tomatoes
And who told you it was exactly kosher green pickles Charlie Lucky favorite dish
I’m actually not surprised by a lot of these. When you really think about the types of people that were in organized crime (just as a whole) a lot started out lower class. They were not eating lobster and steak dinners growing up. Now in a position of power or authority their favorite meal reflects their upbringing but also it’s a comfort item.
That goes for rulers of countries as well.
Napoleon enjoyed a simple cooked chicken dish.
Stalin’s last meal was a platter of processed cold cuts with dark rye bread and pickled vegetables
Augustus Caesar famously had a simple diet for a Roman Emperor, he enjoyed fresh farm cheese, with figs and bread with some meat.
The big head photoshopped John Gotti had me ☠️ 😂
Every time I watch a mobster movie, I will be eating something Italian while watching 🍕
Templeton rye as a beer lmao
Restaurants upping their game?
What planet are you living on?
My mother's family came from Lithuania and one of my aunt cooked stuffed crepes but didn't call them blintzes, but that is what they were. Very good.
if you grew up in new york….you love Chinese. Best in America.
A great appetizer is stuffed artichokes and they are good for you too because they are loaded with protein and iron and for a pasta dish eight finger cavatell
Cooking is an art. Sometimes I wonder how some people cook so delicious foods . I try but came out sht••!
