- I love a funky, stinky cheese, man.
And look, I don't know if you guys know this,
but cheese, when I eat it, don't worry about it.
I'm Timothy DeLaGhetto.
- And I'm David So.
- We travel around to different food festivals
where we eat all the eats.
- We drinks all the drinks.
- And we get all types of crazy
while giving you guys the most raw
and realest food reviews in the game.
- This is "Send Foodz."
- What's up, you sexy bitches?
I'm Timothy DeLaGhetto.
- And I'm David So.
- Welcome to another episode of "Send Foodz" on Thrillist.
- Hey.
- Today, we are in sexy San Diego.
- Where the sun is not shining and it's windy as (beep).
- And today, we're gonna be eating
at the Taste of Little Italy.
- That's right. - So it's gonna be
a bunch of spaghetti.

I sound like a Korean guy now, oh son of a bitch huh?
- All right, so we're over here at Monello.
- So you guys have been seeing this a lot,
I'm not sure if this is a trend but
you're gonna put this inside this bowl of cheese
and it just takes all that Parmesan flavor in there.
- Wait, cheers me!
- Cheese! - What the heck? Cheers.
- That's delicious.
Pasta, it's al dente.
If you don't have al dente pasta
throw that (beep) in the garbage can.
- It's mad creamy and a little, like,
nice little texture with the nuts.
- You have that salty, sharp Parmesan
and you have that funky blue cheese, I love it man.
So, fun fact.
What's up car, ruined my damn shot.
If you like funky cheeses you'll love Gorgonzola
and when you see Gorgonzola too it has
this weird blue vein in it, that's actually the fungus.
- Look, you just, anybody who wanted to try
funky cheese you just messed that up for them right now.
- Yeah, my bad man it's delicious.
- "If you've never had it before try it with
"the blue veiny fungus!"
But this right here is fire. - Yeah, delicious.
- All right, so our next stop is Super Natural we're here with

- OK, now what is all that (beep)?
- So here we have a watermelon Ahi crudo, that is
Thai basil. - OK, Thai because I'm Thai!
- Really? - Yeah.
Yeah, girl. OK, and what's this?
- This guy is pork belly and scallop skewers.
- Damn, OK thank you!
- Yeah dig in!
- So this Ahi also known as blue fin tuna,
caught right off the damn coast.
They murdered this guy literally a few seconds ago.
Shout out to my Vegans!
- I like my fish still (mumbles).
- And then you have some you know cut up watermelon
cubes I've seen this preparation before.

She already told us what is is!
I like that, I (beep) with that.

- Yeah, for sure, definitely.
I'm trying to eat it with my crew though, you know?
- Skewer? - Skewer, let's get it.
- Cheers.
- Ooh, OK!
Pork belly and scallop always go real nice together
because they're both real soft
and, like, almost borderline squishy but, like, a little bit...
This is a really good version of surf n' turf, right?
You got your land animal, you got your seafood.
That spicy, smoky sauce and that creamy avocado?
(Beep) amazing, I like this a lot!
I like this a (mumbles).
All right yo, my favorite kind of Italian food,
Nashville hot chicken sandwiches son!
- That's right, we had to do that joke twice
because of a train!
- Nashville chicken sandwich is my favorite-- what?
- Train.
- They've got every type of vehicle here,
cars, trains, and planes. I swear to God,
we just need a tank and then we're good.
So what do you have here, bro?
- It's a spicy chicken nugget that is on a biscuit
and we also got some cool ranch and a pickle on there.
- Look, anytime you get a restaurant
that has a giant white cock on the front yard
you know it's gonna be fire.
- I thought you were gonna say giant white person.
I was like, "Tim, he's right there."
- Leave that in! - Please don't cut that!
- Don't cut that! - Don't cut that!
- Thank you guys.
All right, you ready to take a bite?
- Yep, after we made those people so uncomfortable?
- Oh that's a good biscuit!
- This right here man is straight up
Super Bowl party fun man!
Spicy chicken, cool ranch, nice, salty pickle!
And that buttery biscuit.
- This biscuit is like, really good.
It's like soft and nice and flakey and gushy and like
it almost, you know what it reminds me of?
The biscuit from McDonald's when you get breakfast.
When you get like a sausage biscuit McBiscuit
that's what the consistency feels like and I love those.
- Yeah there's nothing wrong with McDonald's breakfast,
that's honestly probably the best thing that they got.
McDonald's, sponsor Thrillist please, now!
- McDonald's, Thrillist, hit us up bro.
They need money, they're not paying us (beep).
- Yeah, I do this for free.

I forgot what he said! - 20 months!
- 20 months, OK whatever same thing!
- 20 years, that's a cadaver, bro!
- OK, cheers oh my gosh I'm so excited.
If you like cheese man burrata cheese is like
the cheesiest cheese you can get man.
Oh my God, church bells and everything's happening right now.
But it doesn't matter, doesn't matter
I can't hear anything, all I hear is pizza.
- Not too much tomato sauce, perfect ratios
and they didn't skimp on that burrata cheese.
- That was all cheese.
I didn't know about margherita pizza
until I was working at California Pizza Kitchen?
Or as I like to call it, Calipornia Skeetza Kitchen.
I got fired for that, they saw a tweet where
I called them that and I got fired.
- Really?
- I never told you that story? - No!
- Yeah, true story.
- Stupid!
- There's more to it, there's more to it, but hey!
Margherita pizza, nice and simple,
basic flavors but all you really need!
Know what I'm saying? - Yeah man.
- Tomato sauce, (beep), a little piece of basil on there
a little what like olive oil or something?
- Yeah, the cheese and the tomato sauce and that's it.
- Beautiful.
- Back in the day I didn't know about this
thin crust (beep) every time I saw a picture of this
I was like "Yo, thanks for skimping out on the cheese
"you cheap (beep)," but it's all you need!
- That was great, delicious.
Ah, well that was fun, what was your favorite thing you ate
today bro?
- I got to say, I already know what your favorite is
so I'ma have to switch it up a bit
and I'll go with that first dish, that pasta.
With that Gorgonzola and that Parmesan cheese!
- Yeah yeah that little (mumbles) whatever they called it.

Well he knows that the pizza was my favorite, man.
Like it's been so long since I had pizza

- Oh my God! - Oh my God!
With that dead body, oh!
