I adore her ❤️
You are the only, THE ONLY, food show that has ever shown lupini beans. I love them. They are my favorite snack with or without beer. My grandparents are off the boat immigrants from small town north of Italy and we always had big dishes of them at my grandparents house all the time. As I kid I also lived a couple years in Italy and again had them all the time but fondest memory is they sold them at Rome zoo to walk around and snack on. They rolled up newspapers or a butcher like paper into a cone and filled it with lupini beans. Thank you for showing. Italians need to talk more about them.
Mazzola the BEST lard bread!!!! Heated in oven, even better.
Brava ❤
Hey kid you got all the right spots! Great review! All iconic spots in Bklyn! Don't forget Pastaso for the Mozzarella, Lionis and Panneatico for the sandwiches.Little cupcake shop for the coffee! And i am sure there are many more!
la frittura di calamari con la salsa sopra è da arresto immediato
Those moose 🫎 jaws can sure pipe thick

I will THROW down for Calamari!!!!
Thanks for this amazing guide, adding all these places to my bucket list!"
WELL DONE MY LOVE 💓. THE BUTCHER SHOP. YEAH, I LIVE AFEW BLOCKS FROM THERE. THE SANDWICHES ARE GAS!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND THE FAMILY ❤❤❤
God damn she is so hot
Can’t believe I missed this place when I was in Brooklyn back in march
Great tour.
One little, little quip: you can say Merry Christmas to the sandwich guy or the bakery. Not the generic Happy Holidays.
And I say this as a New York Jew—- we all grew up knowing that most people— certainly, a Latino making Italian sandwiches or an Italiano— celebrate Christmas.
Anyway, wonderful video. I might even trek out to Brooklyn to partake of such wonderful food
She is GORGEOUS
Calamari. Cook it very long or very quick. Start with the best we can afford.
The margins are amazing but it only works because these guys know how to treat it.
Rainbow cookies are my weakness

"There's nothing less sexy than eating a sandwich in front of a camera"
Strong disagree, but it's like a free country, you know?
Happy holidays no. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
