Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy

[E.H. Ruddock]

Saw the Naples episode and loved it. I can’t wait for the Bologna episode. One of my favorite cities on earth.

i really want to go to bologna..my wife said its her favorite food city in italy

Yeah I can't wait to go again. By far my favorite city in Italy. I'm excited that he is doing an episode there.

the first one was good..looking forward to tonights episode..nothing ground breaking but i can watch these type of shows all day if the host is a right fit..

we used to see him a lot at our local grocery store in the upper west side of NYC

Did he often seem to be lost, searching for the Italian foods aisle?

never...I always saw him at citarella...man do i miss that place..anyway, last night episode in Rome was good..need some cacio e pepe this week

on the UES the Citarella is on the corner and at one point it had an attached bar/resto on the adjacent side of the corner (under a different name). they had a dollar oysters happy hour every week, which I used to hit up often. one time I actually found a baby pearl inside. not sure what happened to it

we had a friend that lived by that one...been there a few times but always made the time to walk a couple blocks down to JG Melon for a burger and a drink

Man that final dish in the Tuscany episode looked amazing

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Florence episode which doesn't air until march 14th so we watched that incase it was some sort of mistake or something..did this happen to anyone else?

negative, but i use sling. had to turn off bologna during the bolognese segment as wife fell asleep.

[E.H. Ruddock]

I noticed that the Bologna episode and the Rome episode were available to watch this morning

[Anders]

Never had worse food on average, than when I visited Italy (Torino and Milano). Will go back one day, and hopefully get a better experience.

The Milan episode started off weak because it was in Milan. But it got better when they went into the countryside of Lombardy

i liked the episode but one thing pissed me off...when he was making food and the kid liked it and stanley said something about you're not saying that just because I'm famous....

[E.H. Ruddock]

Yeah that was irritating

[E.H. Ruddock]

I enjoyed the Sicily episode. I don’t think i was ever aware of that island off the coast of Africa that he visited

[EJ]

I'm all caught up on this show. Really enjoy it. Especially when they showcase a cheese maker. That lombardy mountain cheese was total food porn.

[E.H. Ruddock]

If anyone is interested, here is an article with six recipes from dishes on the show.
