Welcome to the ULTIMATE Vincenzo Collab Marathon!
A full 2+ hours of pure chaos, brutal honesty, Italian food crimes, and some absolute cooking masterpieces.
If you love seeing a pro chef react to everything from brilliant techniques to total disasters… this is the one.
In this marathon, I teamed up with Vincenzo to dive into the internet’s craziest “Italian” recipes, the good, the bad, and the completely unhinged.
Grab a snack, get comfortable, and LET’S GO!

Let me know which recipe you like the most and which you didn't! Also, be sure to see Chinese vs Black Fried Rice https://youtu.be/s87t38Zo3Gw
@Vincenzos Plate
By the way is nobody gonna mention, that Jamie never bothered to remove the bayleaves from the cauliflower cheese sauce. So there still is that fun additional surprise in that "pizza".
We tried this years ago..and itnwas UNDIGESTABLE
Washing rice – Uncle Roger means cooked rice. You don't wash cooked rice.
“Italian…” First clip is an old Thai Red curry?!? 🤯
It took nearly an hour which could’ve been cut out to get to Italian recipes 🤦🏽♀️
Would love you to react to Kay’s Cooking as she did a hilarious looking video not so long ago that you haven’t reacted to yet 👍
This content is always great
This is my new favorite YouTube channel! Great video as usual ❤
(Carbonara) When using a substitute for guanciale it does make sense to add the missing flavouring (garlic, sage, rosemary) from the guanciale to the dish 🤷♀️
(Cauliflower pizza) Deep pan – it looks more like a Yorkshire pudding! 😂
He also didn’t remove the bay leaves before adding the cauliflower and cheese 🤦🏽♀️
i mean we have a wok in our house. dad even makes taco meat in it
Black pepper is probably the only "Spice" Jamie can tolerate to a decent level if I had to guess.
Bro is lying about making thai red curry, maybe he have a eyesight problem color blind i say
I add smoked honey!
Whoever is spreading sauce here is garbage, un even already white lines through the sauce it’s so be spread so that there is one consistent color, no canals in the sauce.. 57:25
Ya no, circle or oval. Completely even
Actually, yes. Spain loves pork so much. Even when Muslims ruled them for how many centuries before the Reconquista, they have ways to eat it still.
It bugs me the Jamie and Gordon both don’t follow the natural lines in an onion and just 360 cut it, truly sad, respect the onyo!
I honestly think Beth's pizza is the best. One main reason is simple ingedients, maybe not enough cheese, but italian cuisine is all about simple tasty ingredients. It just looks like her pizza will taste really good, and she had the best crust
The “pro guy” sounds like Alan Rickman.
By grabthars hammer… sigh…. What a pizza….
I've got a seafood allergy, so I've had to find various substitutes to use, depending on the recipe
You guys are really nice. Other people just making fun of Oliver from A to Z, but instead you guys fully analyzing why would he did what he did as Chef/Westerner/Commoner, and it actually made sense to my surprise 🤣 Really entertaining and learning.
My two favorite chefs in the whole world! I love seeing y’all react and collab together. 🙂
If a "chef" came into my kitchen and made any of these things for a tasting, I would think that this person doesn't understand the first thing about cooking (frying with olive oil, scallions first, etc.). If my cook made this for staff meal, and maybe it tasted good, I would teach them proper technique. For Jamie Oliver, this is an absolute disgrace, especially to be "teaching" people this. The fact that Netflix put him in "Chef's Table: Legends" alongside Jose Andres, Alice Waters, and Thomas Keller is an absolute disgrace to Netflix as well.
tbf for a home cook, the fact that a garlic press keeps the peel out of it is a potential big bonus for ease. especially since most don't have access to very sharp knives or understand how to keep a knife sharp if we do. plus a press is helpful so the flavor goes into whatever you're making rather than onto the cutting board
23:56 Hot Thai Kitchen for Thai! Trust me. I love Woks of Life for Chinese too, fwiw

The best colab ever!
If you don’t add some chicken or some type of meat to the egg fried rice, I would definitely say it’s a side dish.
