- All right, we're here cooking out of her
beautiful cookware.
- We need more butter?
- I'm throwing in just a tiny bit more butter.
- I love it, I love it.
- For a little fat, and then what you're gonna do is you're
gonna take your pasta straight from the water
and just transfer it because you want that pasta water.
And then you go in with your tongs and you toss.
It's that easy. (pasts shifting in water)
You wanna make sure to splash the crap out of yourself
and make a huge mess. (Eva laughing)
And then you wanna just top it with some fresh
um, parsley.
And that's what makes it look like all restaurant style.
(audience cheering)
- Fancy. - Yeah.
Garnish changes everything.
- Yeah, there we go.
That, that's beautiful. - I mean, when they
called you and said, you know, did you go to them?
Did they come to you?
Because "Searching For Italy" really made a huge impact
on television, on our culture, the way I view CNN.
- Yeah.
- And you've been such a foodie since you came
onto the scene and like burst on and were like,
"Hi I'm Eva Longoria, I'm here."
You were also synonymous with your love of food,
your restaurants, - Yeah, yeah.
your cookbooks, your culinary world.
- Yeah.
- So this just seems like such a perfect, authentic fit.
- It was, it was, well, they did come to me.
Stanley came to me and he told me
they were gonna do a spinoff.
And I was such a fan of "Searching For Italy"
and I thought he did it so beautifully.
And then, but I pitched them Mexico.
I was like, I would love to do Mexico, because it is
just so beautiful and rich in its culture.
And I think what you said, like the easiest entry point
for any culture is food.
So food is a really, yep yep, don't get it in your,
and it's, it's just an easy way into any culture
and, and I think that - I made that for you.
Oh my God, I'm so excited.
(audience clapping)
Yeah.
- Um,
- Hold on.
- Now, - Figure this out.
will you play Kitchen Confessions with me?
- Yes, but I wanna taste this.
- Okay. - I'm like watering
at the mouth.
- I know.
- Can you guys smell this?
I wish people at home could smell it.
(audience cheering) Yeah, I need that butter.
- Yeah, you need that jus.
Alright, time to confess.
Here we go, as we slurp.
Slurping and confessing. - Oh my.
Have you ever gone skinny dipping, and if so, where?
- Oh my God.
I think I grew, yes. (laughs)
I grew up skinny dipping.
Like I, I grew up in a ranch, so,
- [Drew] Oh ho ho.
- We were always naked. (laughs)
We're always naked, and we didn't go like in a lake.
We wouldn't where the cows drink the water.
(audience laughing)
Like that was our, that was our pool.
(audience laughing)
That was our pool.
- What about as an adult?
- Have I going skinny dipping as an adult?
Probably, yeah, yeah, yeah, hotels.
(audience laughing)
No?
No, you guys don't do that?
Nevermind. - No, I,
just thinking like, we should go take a vacation together.
- (laughing)
- I'm like, - Have you gone
- do you need a travel buddy? - skinny dipping?
Yeah, every chance I get.
- Yeah, I don't like clothes.
- Absolutely, I don't like, - I know.
I sleep naked sometimes.
- Yeah.
- If you had the ability to hear every single thing that
anyone has ever said about you, good or bad,
but once you start, you can't stop,
would you wanna hear it or say pass?
I don't wanna know. - Pass, pass, pass, pass.
In my head, I think people like me.
- Oh, that's so good.
- Yeah.
- Oh, that's so healthy.
Do you like you in your head?
- I do, I love me.
Yeah, I know. (audience laughs and cheers)
- Okay, so if there's one thing that you knew
that you could do and there would be no consequences,
what would you do?
(forks scraping)
- Eating.
- Yes!
(audience cheering)
A hundred percent.
- If I didn't have to exercise so much!
I'm so tired of exercising.
(audience laughs and cheers)
I would be eating. (laughs)
It would be eating, can you imagine?
- Crucial work. - No consequences.
I wanna be naked on vacation with you.
- Yeah, eating. - Eating.
(audience cheering)
That would be heaven, that would be our heaven.
- That would be it. (Eva laughing)
That's what we'd wanna do.
(audience cheering)
- Oh my God, this is so good.

out into the world.
