now are you considered a heartthrob
today my new friend Benny Blanco and I
are making the fanciest Olive Garden
spaghetti in meatballs with bread sticks
does a music producer have what it takes
to cook in the mythical kitchen it’s
really like sexual does Benny’s pasta
friendship bracelet also function as a
backstage pass I really don’t like that
shut up I know I’m scared does Benny
have a crush on me you’re such a big man
Mama Mia this is the spiciest episode
yet do what I would like to sleep in bed
with you yes kind of we’re coming home a
and hooping the n on
I don’t know what all of this is that’s
why it’s in the trunk that’s where the
trunk goes what you’re going to touch oh
these are knee wraps this thing I got um
I got tendonitis in my knee what is this
a bucket of paint no it’s a bucket of
chalk what’s this this is like Muscle
Milk yeah it says no Nut Butter what’s
in here what do you want more Nut Butter
so this is the spaghetti and meatballs
from the Olive Garden it’s hot this is
how they make all their money 7-Eleven
makes money selling cigarettes Olive
Garden makes money selling spaghetti
balls i’ I’ve never I’ve never had Olive
Garden it’s uh what have you heard about
it isn’t this bread sticks isn’t there
like never ending bread sticks yeah well
they won’t just come to your Nissan
parked on a parking lot they won’t just
give you never ending there’s not just a
guy baking them here grab a bread grab a
bread so is this like this is what it’s
all about right yeah cheers
man no no no let it wash over you Benny
don’t you dare spit it out don’t you
dare spit that out buddy
terrible I have a soft spot for Olive
Garden cuz it was the fanciest
restaurant I’d been to till I was like
18 years old we like went to our
pre-prom dinner there you know like oh
my God it tastes so bad I have to like
taste one more bite just to make sure
it’s that bad Olive Garden refuses to
Salt their pasta water because they
think it’ll corrode the pans faster the
crazy thing is like half the noodle is
is like it just turns to like like sand
the second it goes into my mou and then
the other half of the noodle is hard as
a rock
this thing is it’s actually cool it’s
like almost cool how like crazy it’s
half of it El Dente and half of it is
actually poop let’s talk about the sauce
real quick because the sauce is a deep
magenta if not purple and I don’t know
how so much Brown entered the equation
cuz most tomato sauces are you’d say red
I think my favorite part is licking the
outside of the bread the good news is I
got an idea on how to make this better
oh my God I can’t it’s like it’s crazy
it’s like coming up you need my help I
need your help okay here’s the help we
take the do you have matches yeah yeah
we got a bunch of gasoline oh so many

anybody it’s butter my brother always
asks why like the marinara tastes so
good or like when I do I’ll make it I’ll
do it when I uh when I make like
broccoli or when I make spinach and it’s
just because you’re dissolving that
extra little bit of Rami oh my God salt
and anchovies have literally like made
the world go round on Flavor for
thousands of years and nobody even knows
nobody knows and in other cultures it’s
like fish sauce and it’s always there’s
always a little fishy Umami I want the
little fishy swimming around okay I’m
adding some pepper flakes I’m doing I
got things just happening I’m hoping
this is salt I don’t even know what
definitely salt definitely salt um I’m
going to start making some pasta so in
homage to Olive Gardens Tuscan Roots
they actually have a Test Kitchen in
Tuscany Italy that they say they send
their to but it turns out it’s it’s like
a it’s just like a building and it’s
like 3 weeks and they don’t s everybody

the olive oil directly to the water

Benny we’re going to keep rolling out
these pastas we’re going to do it at
like one six the speed of your average
Croatian grandmother uh and then we’re
going to boil them we’re going to make
some meatballs meatball jewelry man
think about that one don’t like this
idea terrible idea it’ll
hey you yes you did the public education
system not fail you and you learned how
to read well that’s fantastic news
because we got a cookbook from a man
that self-identifies is so unattractive
that he’s incredibly hot and everyone
considers him a heartthrob and if you
want to make friends well this is a
cookbook four friends and my friend
Benny Blanco Benjamin Lev Adonai Blanco
well he wrote this book and it’s for you
and everyone is that a good that
was so if you’re so warm right there the
warmth iszy feels good yeah I I would
believe anything that came out of your
perfect little lips you’ve heard of
subliminal advertising this is super
linal advertising get a large man to
scream it at you yeah yeah please get my
book guys please I don’t even know what
camera to look at there’s a hundred of
them in here please get it I love you uh
speaking of cookbook Benny we’re we’re
making meatballs we’re making meatballs
we’re making meatballs these are
actually inspired by your meatball
recipe in the cookbook which is
something that I deeply deeply agree
with because you put a whole lot of
cheese in your meatballs but we’re using
the best product that we could find so
this is A5 Olive fed wagu and if you
could read the certificate aloud to all
the people so they know that this is
real Olive AED Olive a Fed Five wagu
Guys this is literally a death
certificate I want my death certificate
to be written in Japanese with cute like
flowers around it okay what are you
doing over there all right so you add
according to you a full pound of
Parmesan cheese into your meatballs yeah
of course so we’re going to do that but
we actually have three different ages of
Parmesan so this right here is an 18mon
parmesan little fresher you get more of
that milkiness then we got a 36-month
par right here and you can actually see
the difference on these right like you
see some more crystals forming
um tastes pretty simple don’t tell them
that no they oh my God what’s that shall
uh 72 months age parmesan lot more
crystals in there whenever going to
taste
different that’s the one let’s do it man
start start feeding some meat in here
I’ll push it I’ll
plunge yeah don’t get the fingers don’t
get the fingers oh no keep going you got
a loaded bunch of meat in there yeah
yeah so we have the meat frozen so it’s
going to grind nice this is all the A5
so that’s going to give you like that
fattiness right cuz you want some fat in
your balls I want fatty balls that’s the
thing that not enough people are
concerned about is the fat content of
their balls yeah yeah the de is going to
give like a bit of a lighter texture
like a bit of a lighter sort of color to
it it’s got a lean
less beefy flavor you know what I mean I
love kind of Eur Benny no Benny Benny
Benny what is
it it’s you know it’s really the I’m
getting I’m getting a lot of pullback
from this take off the apron the apron’s
the problem take off the apron clothes
off take all your clothes off
hold that wasn’t going in I swear to God
my hand’s
here it
is Crush carc do you want to start
dumping all that stuff in there I’m
going to start grating
cheese cheese I want to eat the eat the
cheese can I just do that I think so
wait we need a bigger bowl man what you
don’t think we can mix it all in this
bowl I don’t think so I don’t this
one I like big bowls dude I like having
room to kind of like slop around in
there there it is that’s come on that’s
better don’t forget the P the panat how
can we forget the panat you got to you
got to Splash the Milky milk and the
breadcrumbs you stir that around and let
it soak we’re going to need a little bit
more
milky this is this is just comical this
is a comical amount of cheese wait can I
just run this cheese through the meat
grinder yeah why not why not hold on
Nicole don’t curse yeah shut the
up all
right you doing I accidentally ground
parmesan into the beef and now we have
sort of like a this is just raw beef and
parmesan that’s one of the weirdest
things I ever put in my mouth I like it
I hate that would you rather eat a bowl
of this or Olive
Garden get this body I’m I’m trying
listen man we’ve had a good run right
now we don’t need to start fighting all
right okay all right pop that down you
