26
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: and said, let's make a deal with this this person.

27
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 4: I grew up with my nana. I was on her

28
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 4: apron strings. I just loved nanimated everything fresh. We used

29
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 4: to make her homemade spaghetti. I don't go that far anymore.

30
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 4: And Sunday gravy, you know, that's a big part of

31
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: my life, and that's where I learned to make meat falls.

32
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: My grandkids love them fried before I put them in

33
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 4: the gravy or the sauce, if you will, So we

34
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 4: do both.

35
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 3: And then I met this.

36
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 4: Woman in the airport and we became instant friends. And

37
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 4: she's a big TVC host. I am not a host,

38
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 4: so it was tough for me when I went on

39
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 4: that day.

40
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,800

00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: she had to drop out of school and raise her

76
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: twelve sisters and brothers. And she learned how to cook

77
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: from scratch all this great Italian food. So every time

78
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,840

84
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: Let's take a break and eat some food. What is it? So?

85
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: You your nana pretty much taught you how.

86
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: To cook, and then my father was a butcher.

87
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean, you can't go wrong. I love Yeah, unbelievable.

88
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you were born, you were born to do this.

89
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: You were you were You're a born.

90
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 4: I mean I am definitely truly not a chef, and

91
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 4: don't claim to be.

92
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 3: But what I made is what I've learned. And you

93
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: know what I mean.

94
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: Sure, I've tried meatballs several different ways. I've tried throwing

95
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: them in the sauce uncooked. I try to cook them

96
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 1: and then throw them in the sauce. But the secret,

97
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: the secret to a great meat sauce, I thought I

98
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: learned it on The Godfather when when they're teaching Michael

99
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: Corleone before before I think it's before he assassinates that

100
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: guy in the wonderful Italian restaurant. Uh, they have this

101
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: huge vat and they're putting tomato paste in there, and

102
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: he says, now, you got to add the onions for

103
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: the flavor. He puts in a bunch of hole onions,

104
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: and then he puts in the sausages and the pork

105
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: and the lamb, and that's for the flavor. And you're

106
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: just like you watch that and you're like, I got yeah, I.

107
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 4: Like a brushole or a sauce. Right, you brown it

108
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: in the oil with the fresh garlic. The when I

109
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 4: start out in the tomatoes and wine in it, so

110
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 4: it cooked simmers all day.

111
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: Right, are you using a tomato paste?

112
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: That's at the end.

113
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: So when I fry my meatballs in an iron skillet,

114
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 4: round them so they're crispy, and then.

115
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: They could cook the rest of the way in the

116
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: greatly but in that iron skillet the oil from the meatballs.

117
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 4: I add my tomato paste to that and stir it

118
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 4: up with the oil.

119
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 3: That to the big bot.

120
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,920

179
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,120

Speaker 3: I didn't know what to do here. I gifted this.

183
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 4: So I went to bed the last night there and

184
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 4: I prayed to God and I talked to the universe.

185
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 3: I said, not only do.

186
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 4: I want to know what it is I want to do,

187
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: but I want the name of it when I wake up,

188
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 4: and I promise as sure as I'm sitting here.

189
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: I woke up and said Mimi's meat Balls, and I

190
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: just went with it.

191
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 4: However, I could have made a lot more money if

192
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 4: I did like an outfit or a jog on suit.

193
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 3: Slow business up.

194
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 4: So I used Veo beef and pork and which I

195
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: had so many meatballs coming to my house for these companies,

196
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 4: and I'd make little tiny ones for the scutle soup.

197
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: And you know, I didn't like it. They didn't even

198
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 3: look real.

199
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 4: So we were about to give up, and I had

200
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 4: one last shot and she said, you can't tweak it.

201
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 3: I give them my ingredients and it was x X it.

202
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: That was the moment.

203
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they the wolves and there I was. I

204
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: think they priced it a little expensive.

205
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's okay. You're famous, so it's like it

206
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: comes to a little premium. Plus it's your special recipe,

Speaker 4: And like I said, when I use I don't use

224
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,640

225
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 4: it in an iron skillet.

226
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,160

Speaker 4: For breakfast, I make a homemade beef soup with beef bones.

233
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,200

Speaker 1: put it in a shallow pan. I cover it at

318
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,400

Speaker 1: take the covering off and let it go for another

320
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: thirteen to fifteen minutes, and it's nice and crispy and juicy.

321
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 3: That really pieces, I hope, because you're cooking a long time.

322
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: That's yes, it is a long time. But the dish

323
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: is it's not a huge dish, it's not a huge pan.

324
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: But it comes out really nice as far as listen.
