    Beth: A pro chef because she has grandma powers.

      But to Beth's credit... my grandma was a terrible cook, my siblings and I would run to the hills whenever she cooked. So glad mom, on the other hand, is an amazing cook so we didn't starve... Even though mom taught us the basics, there is that special touch my sisters and I still can't really achieve
      What I mean is that not all grandmas are great cook by default LOL But Beth certainly is

      @Yeoman Wulf As an analogy it works in this context. Saying someone got to a trained chef's level of expertise by watching cooking shows ignores the training and years of experiece he probably has. I guess a more apt comparison would be shows that explained law by watching a lawyer do stuff on camera and talked the viewer through it, but I'm not sure those are big in the cultural landscape (or even exist?) like cooking shows are

      @@qweqweqweqwe40 Beth probably has many years of cooking under her belt. How many years of practicing law at home does the average law and order watcher do? Almost everyone cooks. You can replicate recipes and learn from them and many times reach the same lessons culinary school teaches out of experience, albeit at a much slower pace. This of course completely overlooks that law and order has nothing to do with actual law and is all a bunch of made up nonsense for entertainment's sake. You don't need to get offended and act all weird under a comment in a RUclips section on Frank's behalf lmao. He doesn't seem that fragile so I'm sure he's doing just fine even if people admire Beth's cooking skills.

Italians always talk about how their cuisine is based on simple dishes reflecting poverty and difficult growing conditions. That was not true in the USA. Italians showed up here, and everything was abundant. Eggplant Parmesan became Veal Parmesan, dishes started to drown in sauce, and meatballs became HUGE!!!!

      But my great grandmother, who was the daughter of Italian immigrants in the 1800s, was my absolute favorite family member and she had the best sense of humor ever. I loved her to pieces, and good god could that woman cook up a storm. I am jealous of my mother because she got to spend so much more time with her than I did. 😢

    To me, simpler is better. I like the look of the 18 dollar one, it looked really good and honestly, I'd think that one would be the 200 dollar one. I have a soft spot for cheaper, homemade food cause my mom is the best, I'm sure alot of people feel the same. My family and I have grown up mostly poor so I've learned that cheaper is usually better. Plus my mom makes some mean Mac and cheese on Thanksgiving.

      There’s a great fried pasta recipe out of Puglia Italy called pasta all'assassina (assassin’s pasta). I’ve made it many times and it’s delicious! Check out Pasta Grammar’s version on RUclips. Fantastic!

      Look, I'm Italian and we don't even think to do that, BUT if you consider that he leave his wrecked(💔)spaghetti cook in the sauce, the pasta will be ready at the end.... Anyways this is just an American recipe, there isn't anything of Italy in there 😂

    This might be the most wholesome episode of this series yet. Beth and Frank are great foils, and having them both cook Italian food was a no brainer. In typical Frank fashion though there was no actual Spaghetti and Meatballs made in this video, we had a totally different pasta with pesto and a toasted fidello dish with Beth's ingredients. Still all looked delicious though.
