BAKING THE COOKIES AND CHRISTMAS
LIGHTS THAT SORT OF THING.
THIS YEAR HE’S COOKING UP
COMPETITION AGAINST OUR OWN
STEVE GARAGIOLA.
HERE IS WHAT’S ON THE MENU AND A
LITTLE ITALIAN HISTORY.
♪
>> ITALIAN COOKING IS A
FESTIVAL FOR THE SENSES.
THE SWEET AROMA OF ONION AND
GARLIC SIMMERING ON A STOVE TOP.
THICK RED PASTA SAUCE OVER A
DUSTING OF PARMESAN CHEESE.
THE RECIPES TAKE ME TO MY ROOTS.
A BLUE COLLAR ITALIAN AMERICAN
COMMUNITY WHERE MY DAD GREW UP
ACROSS THE STREET FROM HIS BEST
FRIEND YOGI.
TO ME, ITALIAN FOOD SAYS
FRIENDS, COMMUNITY, TRADITION,
FAMILY
FAMILY.
ROD AND I WILL MAKE THREE
DISHES, APPETIZER, RAVIOLI,
ORIGINALLY IDENTIFIED WITH THE
HILL.
MY UNCLE MICKEY HAD A PART IN
MAKING THE RECIPE.
AND THE RECIPE THAT WAS INVENTED
IN 1924 AND NOT SOME FAKE RANCH
DRESSING WANNABE.
AND FINALLY, OUR MAIN COURSE, AN
ITALIAN CLASSIC, LASAGNA.
THIS IS REAL COOKING.
AND ROD, I KNOW YOU’RE UP FOR
THE CHALLENGE.
[LAUGHTER]
>> BOY, I’VE GOT TO TELL YOU,
THAT’S PRETTY FORMIDABLE RIGHT
THERE.
THE TABLE IS SET, GENTLEMEN.
WE’VE GOT OUR CHEFS LIVE IN HIS
OWN KITCHEN LIVE FOR THIS
AMAZING TARS.
AND I’VE HAD STEVE’S COOKING AND
PUTTING YOU AS THE UNDERDOG.
AND IS THAT FAIR TO YOU?
>> I THINK I’M A 10 POINT
UNDERDOG.
LOOK I’VE GOT MY ROD THE BUILDER
APRON HERE AND MY WIFE GAVE ME
THIS BECAUSE THIS IS THE
SKILLET.
THE ONLY COOKING I ACTUALLY DO
IS FOR THE KIDS.
LIKE BLUEBERRY PANCAKES WHEN
THEY HAVE FRIENDS SLEEPING OVER,
GRILLED CHEESE OR FRENCH TOAST.
SADLY THIS HAS TO GO AND WE’LL
GO FOR THE REAL DEAL.
WE’RE UP NORTH AND MY WIFE AT
KAREN’S COUNTRY KITCHEN, BUT
TODAY HERE, PULL OUT MY PEN AND
DO THIS FOR RODRIGUEZ’S COUNTRY
KITCHEN AND HANG IT HERE AS A
REMINDER THAT THAT’S WHERE WE ARE.
SO NOW WE DO NOT HAVE THE PA
PALAZZO
PALAZZOD GARAGIOLA.
THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE READY TO GO
AND I’LL START COOKING HERE.
STEVE, I’M A 10 POINT UNDERDOG,
BUT LET’S GET IT ON.
[LAUGHTER]
>> OH, ROD, ARE YOU GOING TO
COOK OR SING THE BLUES FOR TWO
HOURS?
[LAUGHTER]
>> I’M READY TO COOK, PAL.
>> I KNOW MY WAY AROUND THE
KITCHEN AND THAT’S NO LIE AND I
LOVE TO COOK AND LOOKING FORWARD
TO THE CHALLENGE, ALL WEEK LONG
ROD HAS BEEN SELLING ME THE
STORY, I NEVER COOK, I HELP MY
WIFE A LITTLE BIT.
I’M NOT BUYING IT, ROD, OKAY?
I’M DIALED IN, I AM IN THIS FOR
IT, AND WE’VE GOT THE PASTA
READY TO GO INTO THE BOILING WATER, GOT MY SAUSAGE READY FOR
WATER, GOT MY SAUSAGE READY FOR
THE SAUCE AND WILL YOU DROP THE
GREEN FLAG.

KITCHEN AND WE’RE FOCUSED.
>> I’M NOT BUYING IT FROM HIM,
HE’S AN ITALIAN GUY, A LONG TIME
COOK AND SELLING THIS THING, I’M
STAYING DIALLED IN.
>> WE’RE READY TO ROLL HERE.
>> EXCELLENT.
THAT’S WHAT WE’LL LET YOU DO.
GET INTO CHOPPING AND CUTTING
AND COOKING AND WE’ CHECK BACK
WITH YOU, YOU’VE GOT TO SEE
THESE GUYS IN THE NEWS ROOM.
