Italian food is overrated. Yeah, you just got back from Italy. I got back from Italy and guess what?

0:04.7

You hate Italian food. I don't hate Italian food. You just said it's overrated. It's overrated.

0:09.5

So you don't like it. People talk it up way too highly. That's crazy. That's what happens. I mean,

0:15.3

you've been to Italy. You've had it too. I have. But I also think that we're a little biased because we live in the second best place in the world for Italian food. The first best place. If you live in Nebraska, you're going to Italy for the first time. You've never been to Italy. You're like, this is absolutely amazing. I 100% guarantee that. Yeah, you're going to be jaw dropped. You're going to be like, I've never had food like this in my life, which I completely get. So you think New York Italian food is better than Italian Italian food? Let me explain a little bit, okay? Go ahead. Italy. The floor is higher. The floor is higher. Okay, I agree with that. So I don't think like Italian meals, like I don't think you're going to have a bad one in Italy. I feel like the floor, the low, is higher than the low here. I'm sure you could have a bad one, but I would assume, I agree with that stable. Most places, you probably get bad food anywhere, but the Italians, they know what they're doing. But I don't think the ceiling is as high. You also spent a week there. Yeah, 10 days. If you spend your whole life there, I'm sure you could find better Italian food. I just, I felt like in Italy when I was there, I felt like everything that I was eating was the same thing. It's pasta, it's pizza, or it's meat. Yeah, that's, yeah, that's Italian. But like, when I went to Spain, I had all different cultures, all different foods and it was still good. I'm sure that you could find a place that has other food. You just went to Italian places. I don't think it's at the peak of other.

1:29.8

I think New York's got

1:30.6

the hub of food. It's got everything. Yeah, I totally agree with that at the highest level in the world. I don't think anyone disagrees that New York is the hub of food. And it's got the highest quality in the world in terms of the best of the best.

1:42.2

No.

1:42.6

Pretty close.

1:43.2

No.

1:43.7

That's just wrong.

1:44.5

Like what, what am I wrong?

1:45.5

Mexican food.

1:46.7

I have a feeling.

1:48.0

Have you been? world in terms of the best of the best. No. Pretty close. No. That's just wrong.

1:44.5

Like what, what am I wrong about? Mexican food. I have a feeling. Have you been to Mexico? I have been to Mexico. Where? I've gone to Cancun. I've gone to Puerto Vallarta. I know, but the Mexican food in Mexico is astronomically better than New York Mexican food. I wonder why. I don't know. I just think that's where it's made.

2:01.5

I would also, I haven't been to Italy in a wonder why. I don't know. I just think that's where it's made.

2:01.5

I would also, I haven't been to Italy in a while, so I can't speak on it. So I don't know if Italian food is overrated, but you're saying it. So we're going on it. You know what's grown on me, though? The Carbonara. I think that's my Italian dish. I thought that was your Italian dish. I never really had it.

2:15.5

Isn't that the bacon one?

2:16.6

Yeah, but I've only had it with my mom cooking it,

2:19.0

which is delicious.

2:19.9

Don't get me wrong,

2:20.6

but it's not the peak of the peak. The two carbonars I had in Italy, those are high level. That's high quality stuff. There you go. I think Italian food is probably one, the best food in the world? I just feel like it's too much of the same.
