- I make the best spaghetti for her.
- It's according to your little taste buds, isn't it, Z?
- Don't touch, don't touch, don't touch, don't touch.
- Oh, excuse me.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm Zahara.
- [Interviewer] Zahara, who do you think is a better cook,
your mom or your grandma?
- I think my mom's better at cooking.
- Most of the time, it's my mom who cooks.
- [Interviewer] Who do you think taught your mom how?
- My grandma.
- [Interviewer] Cavalli, you are going to be the judge.
- Ooh.
- 'Cause this is Kids Try, Mom versus Grandma.
- Oh my gosh!
Bring out the contestants.
Come on Mommy, come on Grandma.
(gentle upbeat music)
- [Mom] Open.
- Whoa.
- (yelling) Oh, oh.
Dang, Grandma.
- What did you make?
- I made spaghetti and I put no sauce on it
because I know that it burns your lips.
And then some grapes
'cause you know we always have grapes with spaghetti.
- I love grapes.
- [Mom] I know.
- These look so good, okay.
Smell test.
I like how these smell.
And I like how these smell.
Ooh, I wannt try this one first.
That's like a barbecue hot sauce.
- Whose lumpia looks good?
- Both of 'em.
This one is presented really nicely with the green onions.
- What do you like about mine? (laughs)
- The presentation with the lumpia
surrounding the sweet chili, that's sweet chili sauce right?
- [Grandma] Yeah, it is sweet chili sauce.
- It's not normal that in a cup.
Why is it in a cup?
- So it could look special, yeah.
- It definitely looks special, doesn't it Zahara?
Do you like to drink your spaghetti, sweetie?
(upbeat music)
- Oh, the meat is so good.
(crunching)
- (coughs) Spicy.
- Mm, are your lips tinglin' from eating my sauce?
- Uh-uh.
- See, good sauce, yeah.
(crunching)
- Lola, how did you learn how to make your lumpia?
- Well, when I left the Philippines,
I didn't know how to cook.
Then my mother came after five years
and my mother taught me how to cook.
- So, you got yours from your mother,
and then you got yours from your mother.
- When did you learn how to cook, Grandma?
- Oh, gosh, I learned how to cook
when I was probably your age.
I always watched my mom cook.
(laughing)
- I haven't had one of your wings in a little while.
(laughing)
- [Cavalli] Where did this recipe come from, Mommy?
- I just really be doin' stuff on the fly.
Just be, a little bit here, a little bit there.
I'm a sauce girl.
- Okay, it's time to pick the winner.
- I wouldn't mind whatever your decision is
because I love you
and I don't want to put you in the middle.
- Yeah, I don't want to put you in a spot but,
I mean, just consider this.
If I win, she wins, because she taught me.
- Since I made my decision,
bring in the trophy.
(laughing)
- And the winner is,
(drum roll music)
- Lola.
(dinging) (screaming)
(laughing)
- You kidding me?
- Grandma!
(clapping) (cheering)
- Thank you, thank you.
- Mama.
(dinging)
- Oh really? - Oh, wow.
- They're the best.
(clapping)
- Chow master.
- It was like a really, really, really, really,
really, really, close game.
- You guys both did a great job, but you know,
Mama's gotta win, you know?
- What made me win?
- The flavor!
- (laughs) The flavor.
- Good job, Mommy.
(laughing)
You wanna try some?
- No, thank you, it gives me gas.
(laughing)
- So that's the problem.
