Of course its not the same thing as actual italian food, outside of fast italian food home made american italian food is the long process of italian immigrants making due with what they could and making something great out of it over generations. just because it doesnt use the same process or ingredients doesnt mean its doesnt have the same meaning for the families who make it.
I’ve been to Italy. It’s good but she needs to calm down and frankly there are places in New York and New Jersey where you can get dishes every bit as amazing as what you find in Italy. Anytime you hear someone talking like this about Italian food or making that stupid claim that Guinness tastes different in Ireland they’re really just trying to flex on you and demonstrate how sophisticated they are because they sat on a plane and then ate food in a different country.
Like with all American food, immigrants from Italy brought their dishes with them and then adapted the recipes to what was available in their new home. It’s one of the beautiful reasons why America has traditionally been called a melting pot. Immigrants bring stuff over and integrate it with things other immigrants brought.
Spanish here, we used to eat NY style pizza until more restaurants made italian style pizza, she is 100% right. You dont have to be a pedant american to notice it, italian food is way better than what you do in the other side of the pond, even pepperoni for me feel like plastic in your mouth
She literally negates her own fuckin point in the clip. She refers to it as Italian-American food then says “but that’s not Italian food” uhhh no shit you just said that???? It’s ITALIAN-AMERICAN NOT ONLY ITALIAN. WOW the level of stupid on her is off the charts
People need to be muzzled for the first 3 months after coming back from a vacation to Italy. Even if their food is objectively better in every conceivable way, I don't want to hear about it 10 times a day.
she is 100% right. And I am IN Italy. Oh I know for a fact you have a selection of AMAZING italian restaurants. But the majority? What you think of as "italian food" in your cities? It's americanized tasty trash. Stop putting fats and sugar everywhere ffs.
Bro, I’ve been to Italy with my parents and I know Italians here that have immigrated, the grand majority of them like Italian American food too. The people that constantly try to shit on American Italian food are almost always just snobs that wouldn’t know good food if it hit them in the face and if they just let go of their idiocy and viewed both versions of the cuisine as just that, a different version, then they would probably like both like most of the normal human beings on the planet. Food snobs are some of the most annoying.
Every American food, that has its origin outside America is trash. Everyone knows that, so what's the big deal all of a sudden? Always has been, always will be…
Thats why its called ITALIAN AMERICAN FOOD. Its an evolution on other food. And never. Have I ever. Watched anyone, for homemade food, put sugar in normal marinara or meat sauce. This is legit offensive and i thought I was pretty thick skinned.😂
but that’s why she’s calling “italian-american” food. they call it that because it is something different. kind of like american-chinese food. orange chicken does not exist in china, does that mean it’s not bomb? no
She’s insufferable but right. It ain’t real italian food, but I will stand by the fact that I have had better italian food in NY than anywhere in Italy.
Italian food is just american food, masquerading as something else. I never had italian food, but I have eaten lasagna, spaghetti, pizza, ravioli, fettuccine alfredo, et cetera. I'm not a fan of those foods.
Unbiased Italy vacationer here. Food is pretty solid there but under seasoned and overall bland. I’ve had better food from Italian restaurants in the area of my hometown in New Jersey. People that have visited Italy and swear by the food are lying to themselves to appear cultured
Thats not italian people cooking like this. Italian American food is better than Italians because its Italian cooks making it to the American taste. Same shit with traditional Mexican food. Im Mexican and Mexican food in America is just better more flavor and everything.

I can't stand the glaze for "authentic" Italian food. Literally the most overrated and simplistic food. Italian American cuisine is so much better

Italian American food > Italian food. Sorry folks. Though their pasta is better quality/fresher. This woman is terrible
It is just America food
American "food" is not even top 50 in the world while Italian is top 10
As an Italian, I can't agree more.
Isnt italian american food based nlre of sicilian cooking as those were the ones who immigrated first?
American Italian food is superior
This lady is exactly correct. Italian food is better in every way … the ingredients, the method of cooking, the serving method.
Italian food in italy is actual garbage.
Jesus Christ lemme guess she thinks she’s Native American too

Honestly, I thought the food in Italy was pretty overrated.
Oh, okay, here. Let me help you guys out: imagine her voice pitched down an octave and coming from the middle of a goatee. Instant comedy

Jamie pull up that Video of a Grizzly fighting a Pizza Baker.
Some of the best pizzas I had were in the US not Italy….n I lived in Italy
Listen, food in US is garbage, we europeans when we come to US we are shocked how bland the food is and how much chemicals you put in it
Italian American food is basically, more cheese, more meat.
Also this wasn’t even there cuisine till like 400 years ago
We can get the samr flour and butter they have. What do ya want from me eh?

I eata da pizza
but that’s why she’s calling “italian-american” food. they call it that because it is something different. kind of like american-chinese food. orange chicken does not exist in china, does that mean it’s not bomb? no
My boss went to Italy and she was not impressed with the food.
that person that visits italy once and they become a food critic meanwhile they grew up on twinkies and frozen dinners
Ill never get over an American saying that someone is exaggerating and stereotyping when you listen to how they talk about british food
Didn't Rogan also talk about how pizza over there doesn't make you feel like garbage like it does in the US?
There are a ton of actual Italians that live here btw. Some stuff is exactly the same.
Clearly she has never had good American Italian food. It's not all trash you have some really good food that isn't Olive Garden
italians add chocolate in their spaghetti
shes just saying things other ppl say to sound important sheep mentality
She’s insufferable but right. It ain’t real italian food, but I will stand by the fact that I have had better italian food in NY than anywhere in Italy.
One of the dumbest guests in the history of the pod
