I fucking send hate to those every time they pop up in my youtube feed. Between that and Harry Penis Splurts while Eating Spicy Wings shit that endlessly comes up since they assume I want to watch that when I'm generally looking at recipes pisses me off. Haha. It might even be good. But I never asked for those to bomb my feeds any more than I wanted Music to Relax and Study to just because I was watching a live feed of the ocean or jamming on some Michael Hedges or something. Dix.

I like Hot Ones ok but it's played itself out for me. DJ Khaled's is amazing lol he starts sweating after the first one and basically tells the host he's doing evil by having this show and then quits after like three wings.
For those not in the know, the first wing is usually a pretty basic hot sauce like Crystal or Tabasco or something, and the wings don't get appreciably spicy until the fifth or sixth one.

Happy birthday man. I celebrated it by eating some mostly scratch spaghetti and meatballs (cook used fn canned tomatoes and dried pasta so red x for those aspects yet it was still an 8). We had some oven crisped Leidenheimer’s French bread with that. Desert was fresh cannolis from Angelo Brocato’s. I mostly hate cheese. Maybe that means I can’t pass it along to 10 real Americans, but I just don’t like it in general. However cream based cheeses like triple cream Brie and Marscapone that lend themselves to be sweet fillers are kind of great. These were superb in that the cannoli shell was exactly what it was supposed to be.
It's so cliche but I order spaghetti and meatballs probably half the time I go out for Italian. The other half is linguine pescatore.
Meatballs and Spaghetti and other similar dishes like that tend to be based in Sicilian tradition. Sicilians came in droves near the turn of the last century and settled across America, many in the South.
Italy is a country of about 60 million people and has a ton of regional cuisines just like we do in America. I'm not super versed on more than a couple. There are some so-called Northern Italian restaurants in New Orleans. But even Northern Italian has so many different cuisines. People there like fresh, regional ingredients which vary from place to place. If I'm eating generic "Italian", I'm probably getting Chicken Marsala or Chicken Piccata. I don't eat baby white veal because I feel like it's inhumane the way they are raised. So if I'm going with one of those classic sauces (Marsala being butter Marsala wine and mushrooms; Piccata being butter, lemon and capers), it's probably going to be chicken. And while Sicilian styled tends to be heavier on the sauces, many of the dishes from the continent are very light and use olive oil and fresh herbs.
Here's the Wiki link for anyone who is interested to learn about some of the regional cuisines. Below is a short list based on the wiki page.

i'm similar. i'm not a big eater of italian food, but when i am it's usually spaghetti and meatballs or chicken parm. and actually i think chicken parm is an italian-american creation rather than strictly italian.

I do have a tendency toward Southern Italian food because I love seafood and that's associated with the South moreso. So like the pescatore, a risotto with scallops, or sea bass.
There are good Italian restaurants here but it's not at the top of the list of things you think of.
I had Rao's in Vegas early this year. I guess the one in NYC is supposed to be hot shit and maybe mobbed up? We just went there because the buffet line was outrageously long and we had a show to catch. Can't remember what I got there. Probably meatballs. They sell jarred sauces with their name on them at Kroger, I noticed later.

Parmigiana actually refers to the area around Parma in Northern Italy and may be a misnomer. Apparently Italians (particularly southern Italians) grew lots of eggplants and invented the dish that way. Chicken Parmigiana is an American hybrid.
Truly authentic Italian food often has very few ingredients. There are so many light, healthy dishes they eat there yet so many bastardized by America where you just fry shit, load up on sauce and bake with cheese on top.
So I made myself hungry thinking about all the delicious Italian there is. Fast-casual chain The Simple Greek opened up downtown across the street from work. I had asked a foodie buddy of mine who went to school in Greece for a year if he had been there. He said yes, and it's well worth the $10 to get a pita or bowl. That's what I did. If you've ever been to Halal Guys or a Poke restaurant, you know how that goes. You tell them what you want, and they build it that way. I went with a rice base and topped it with grilled chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, garbanzo beans and their spicy red peppper sauce finished with Grecian sea salt and oregano (though they rooked me on my oregano).
Pretty good so far and definitely could be a go to for a relatively healthy $10 lunch. No complaints on the flavors from me.

that looks dope. On another note though, try not to use g*p, it's a slur
Yeah, I always forget that. It was a term I heard used by kids since I was small to denote a ripoff. Clearly I don't have any problems with Roma people and have only rarely encountered them anyway. I'll edit for ripped.
I'm pretty full blooded Italian on my mom's side- her grandfather (my great) was the eldest son and gave up his stake in the family vineyard/town general store to immigrate to America (it's still going strong and many on my maternal side go visit. They grow grapes mostly for white wines, and distilling: www.grappapaolazzi.com/). Theyre up north in Trento, near Austria, and your spaghetti and meatballs is "basic" to them - their cuisine is more based around beef and chicken with gnocchi, polenta, and rissoto rather than pasta and tomatoes. They're much more likely to serve you a steak seared and then simmered in wine than vermicelli and marinara. I have a great recipe for their Bolognese, but that even by their standards, that's like me from Memphis giving you my shrimp creole recipe.
America has bastardized most ethnic cuisines for sure; from my experience though, labelling Italian as spaghetti and meatballs or chicken Alfredo is really limiting, and there's a lot of real Italian shiz Americans would like. That said, a chicken parm was my Sunday night wash-down-the-booze-and-drugs dinner for years on Knoxville. Dave Maynar knows Oscar's I'm sure...
I moved from south philly where I could throw a rock and hit a million amazing Italian spots to Austin Texas where it’s next to impossible to find legit Italian food. That’s what hurts the most. Well that and not being able to get a damn pork roll egg and cheese
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Nah fr I bet there are a few good spots. They're probably all on the ritzy side though with all the tech money.
Never been to Fazolis but I’ll check it out on your rec. There for sure are a few places here I can get some pretty good Italian but definitely nothing like home for me
Edit: Oh wait, just looked up fazolis and it’s like fast food Italian? Guess that was clearly a joke that went over my head

I just finished a couple of oak smoked Korean wings and kimchi that has me hungering for more. So I said fuck it. I’m driving to Gus Fried Chicken to go get me some fried chicken.
Gus = bomb as always. I used the air fryer to recrisp the breast I ate. I called in the order and actual Karen hooked me up. I was going to get 5 individual breasts and 1 med baked beans. She said there was a 3 breast 2 sides special so I got that plus 2 more. I love their chicken.

Fucking right. Low but pronounced spice level. I haven't been since before the pandemic, and eating those wings and that kimchi told me I needed spice, and I needed chicken. We figure they must slit the breasts before brining/marinating, becuase they usually have that little score mark across the breast meat where a little extra spice soaks in.
