TV Dinners

Hey, y'all. Tonight on Paula's Party, I'm cooking with some of television's biggest icons

It's happy days, y'all, when everybody's favorite tough guy, Henry Winkler, cooks up a country fried steak even the Fonz would love

Whereas Carson Kressley gives an audience member a makeover. What happens in Paula's Party stays in Paula's Party

And Soprano star... The godmother of Savannah. Steve Sharippa is cooking us up an Italian feast

Forget about it. So pull up a chair and grab your remote

How you doing? Because tonight, it's all about TV dinners. Let's party

How are y'all

How are y'all? You know, somehow they always manage to put a handsome man up here

You know, I think it's their way of trying to get the old girls motor running

Do y'all know what the theme of the show is today? TV dinners

But fear not. I'm not going to be showing up. I'm not going to be showing up

Oh, honey, I would never disappoint you. I am not going to be bringing out those little three-fold

No, my guests are so huge to the TV screen. They have literally changed the scope of TV

So what do you say we get started? Y'all, my first guest, I don't know what to say about this guy

I just love him to pieces. The show that he was on changed the outlook for gay men

Does anybody know who it is? Carson Cressley, come on out here

Carson, how are you? Oh, how are you? Get out of here so they can

Let it out. Let it out. Paula, I wore these pants to Uncle Bubba's because they reminded me of seafood

Yes. Look. Look, see if you can find my crab claw or my shrimp

I'll do that. I ain't going to touch that one. We better try your pants. I ain't going to touch that one with a 10-foot pole

No, don't. Don't. All right. Well, listen. I want to ask you something, Carson. Okay. Where are I for the straight guy? Yes

Do you see a man here in the audience that's, you know, really, really macho

Right. And maybe needs to get in touch with their feminine side. Oh, maybe

Do you see somebody that you could help? How about the guy in the brown shirt

I could help him. Come here, honey. Come up here. Come on up here, darling

There we go. Oh, he's cute. Isn't he cute? Look at that

Y'all both have dimples. I know. We match. All right, what is your name, baby

My name's Tom. Hi, Tom. Tell him what to do. Oh, well, let's see

Can you tuck this shirt in? Let's just see what it looks like. Here, I'll hold this

I'm used to it. There we go. You bad boy. God. I've seen this a million times

At work. At work, this is what I do. Look at you. You have a nice waist

Why not show it off? Yes. A waist is a terrible thing to waist. Oh, wait, can I do one

little thing too? Yes. Let's just... The hair is way too severe

It was a little militant. It's better look. Yeah. In style. Yeah

Okay. Look at you. Now you're better. It's a party. Just shake it out

Okay. Thank you, honey. Perfect. Come on back here. Let's wash our hands

We gotta cook. You always wash your hands before you... Wash the hair out of your hands

Whenever I'm at a restaurant and it says, employees must wash hands. I know

I stand there waiting, and I'm like, is someone going to come wash my hands? And then I'm like

oh, they don't do it, I do. All right, so Carson. We're going to make shoo fly pie

We are going to make shoo fly pie. Do you have those? Oh, my God, look, there's a camera up there

Yes, it is. Look at you. Look at you. Look. Okay, we're going to make shoo fly pie

Oh, that's uncomfortable. It's just like Macy's in here. There's cameras everywhere

You don't want to mess with Macy's. Okay, we're going to make The quickest and easiest pie crust

Okay. All right? And this is my great-grandma's recipe. Okay. Pennsylvania Dutch, which is really Pennsylvania German

Okay. It's a whole complicated story. Okay. You take all-purpose flour. Throw that in

You take some sugar. Just for a nice sweet crust. Okay? And then you throw in a pinch of salt. Salt

Pinch. Okay. And then I kind of just, you know, I kind of just fluff it up with my hands and get it

you know, nicely mixed and everything. Okay. Okay. And just fluff away

Okay. Fluff, fluff. You bind it together with some shortening. Okay. And then some butter

It's not a whole lot. I mean, but like you're afraid of butter, whatever. Okay

And then. It's a start. You can use a pastry thing, but that's so complicated

And the Pennsylvania Dutch are very simple. Okay. You just. I'm just going to use the fork. I'll use the pastry cutter and you use the fork

I'm going to fork it up over here. You fork it up. Okay. What the fork is going on over here

Okay. Now we're just. It gets kind of lumpy and you just, yes, my love

Listen, don't cause me to lose my show now. You know, I haven't had it too long. I sure won't

You get an Emmy and you get all fancy on me. Jeez

Okay. So, Carson, Carson, Carson. Yes, my love. Have you always been, like, in touch with your feminine side

Yeah, basically. I mean, I do remember, like, being on the playground

in the third grade and everybody's, you know, like, playing dodgeball. And I was like, why doesn't Patty wear Jim's pants

and why doesn't Jim wear David's shoes? And then the ball would hit me in the face

and I'd be like, oh, I hate Todd's ball. We got, listen, honey, we got to go straight to break

Oh, it's not going to be straight when we come back. We'll be right back, y'all

with more of Carson Kressley. Coming up, Carson Kressley finishes his shoe fly pie recipe

How y'all doing? How you doing? and later the Fonz plays it cool in my kitchen y'all

y I here with Carson Kressley and today show is all about TV dinners but not really It about the people that change TV and Carson is definitely one of those

Oh, well, thank you. I thought I was just changing shirts, but you know. We're making your grandma shoo-fly pie

I'm slow. How's your dough going along? I'm about to get there. I'm doing my ice water a little slower than you

Add a little bit of ice water to your dough mixture, and that'll make it kind of come together

And then you'll have a nice big ball. Okay. We always have a ball around here

We sure do. And look, I forgot. We've had such a good time, I forgot the other ingredients

Let's bring them on. Okay, I'm going to show you. All right. So we roll this out

We just, are we going to roll and pinch? Thank you so much. Now scram

It's our show. Hello. Okay. Woo! Okay, so you roll your jaw out in your pie crust

And then I like to just do the Pennsylvania Dutch way. I just do my pinches like this

Okay. We're having a pinch-off right now. Okay, so we're going to put our ingredients in a raw pie crust

Yeah, we're just going to set these aside. And we're going to, here's your bowl

Oh, mine's right beautiful itself. Okay. It sure is. Please make me feel good about myself, Carson

I will. Because, you know, I feel so insuperior next to you. You know what? You're perfect just the way you are

And you're gorgeous. You are so good, man. Yes. Oh. Yes, you may come back

Thank you, honey. I think we should do our own show. Okay, get her off me. I'm gay

Okay, so then we take our egg. Okay. What is this? What is this

This is just a crumb mixture. Flour and... You don't know what it is, do you

It's flour and a little bit of cinnamon and some butter, and you just kind of make, it's almost like a strudel topping

Yes, you do know. I do. Okay, so these are the ingredients

So easy. That molasses smells so strong. An egg and some baking soda

Okay. And you just throw this all in here. Okay, I'm going to add my baking soda to my dry ingredients

Is that all right? I don't think that was supposed to go in there. Oh, yes, it was

You know it was. Why are you doing that to me? It's supposed to go in here. Go in here where

In our molasses and egg mixture. Oh, boo. No, it is. Watch

I'll do it my way. You do it yours. It's my recipe. You know what? Okay

Is my recipe not? No! That's wrong. You can't do it. We have to do this

Look. Watch. Oh, look-a-here. I'm fixing to show you something. Look-a-here. Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit

You won't believe this, but I have that rug in my closet. No, you do not

I've seen that at some of the great gift shops of the South. Well, just butter my food

So you just mix this up, whisk away. Okay, how easy is this

And then... Don't forget your flour. Don't forget my... That doesn't go in there like that, Paula

These two mixtures stay separate. Well, why didn't you speak faster? I tried to tell you, but you just don't listen

Okay, then I take a little... Oh, I like my way better. I take a little bit of the crumbs here

Yeah. And put them in the bottom. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And this is going to be a wet bottom pie

Mine's going to be a wet bottom and top. And then you put this in here

Yes. See, I don't like that. That looks like motor oil. Oh, gooey and delicious

It has kind of a NASCAR flair to it. All right. We're going to, listen, we're going to bake both these suckers off. Okay

And then I put my crumbs on top. Yours is all mixed. Well, you just go right ahead. Yours looks like

Mine looks like very good, doesn't it? Okay, then I just put my crumbs on the top

It has a crumb topping. Uh-huh. And we just, oh, my goodness. We just kind of even that out

Uh-huh. Get the air bubbles out. Mine is going to be so much better. I don't think, oh, I don't think so

Oh, I think so. And then we put them in the oven. Oh, cart in the way

I feel like a stewardess. Who wants a Diet Coke? Get out of the bathroom

We're landing. Okay. Now we have to pull our finished pies out

Yes. It's been 30 minutes. Woo! Seems like only a second. You make time fly, Paula

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Hot! Ow! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Hot oven

Whoa. Oh, God. I don't ever want to work in a kitchen. It's so hot

All right, get over here and let's get us a knife. Get us a knife. All right, you'll notice, Carson

Your pie doesn't look as good as mine. I don't like the way that pie looks

That's your pie. All righty. This is the Paula Deen Show. Okay, let's dig in

The pretty pie is mine. Look at this slice of Pennsylvania Dutch lovin'

My gracious. White Carson. Bluey and delicious. Here's your... Oh, a bigger spoon

There we go. Wait for me. use your big spoon

you guys are fine because it looks like you have no teeth

hi everybody wait but do i have something on my teeth wait now i want to look like you

how y'all doing how you doing how you doing i'm fine how you doing

how you doing Don't go anywhere, Yelma. You never know what's gonna happen here

It's all a party. Coming up, with a little help, Henry Winkler becomes the king of southern fried steak

And later, eggplant parmesan with Soprano star Steve Sharupa. Forget about it

It doesn't sound right coming out of your mouth. I know! Welcome back, y'all

Old Paula is just standing back here grinning from ear to ear today, y'all

because I've got some fabulous guests here with us today. It's all about the people that changed the scope of television

Before we get started, I want to know, does anybody have a question? Anybody got..

Oops, let me... Yes, let me come around there, pretty. My pretty

What is your name? My name is Stacy. What is your question

I have been married 29 years. I have a great husband. I cannot get him to cook

Well, where is he? Henry? If we can get him. There is not..

There is not a person in America that does not know and love this face

Henry Winkler. Well now we can say the same about you I want to tell you It is true My wife when I got the call my wife said to me my wife said to me

if you do not come down here, you're going to sleep on the porch

I know that probably most of you think of Henry Winkler

as someone that may be wanting the brightest. But let me tell you

You wouldn't be that far off. That is so not true. This man is so accomplished

He's not only an actor, he's a director, he's a producer. He is educated to the teeth

And you know what? Out of all your accomplishments, probably your greatest one

is you come from this place called Hollywood and you have been married to the same woman for 29 years

Yes, that's true. You know, now that really says something about you and Stacy

And it is so great because you brought us together. It's the first time we've seen each other in a year

Take off your jacket, baby, and let's get to cooking. You go that way

I'll go this way. How are you? Nice to see you. Hi, everybody. All right

Sorry I had my back to you. I want to... Oh, God, this smells good. All right. You know what is amazing, though? Why

Truly. Because, you know, everybody talks about Paula Deen and how fabulous you are

Really? But what is amazing for everyone to know, for everyone to know about this woman is your journey

And out of this journey that was difficult, to say the least

It was difficult. Your spirit so fills the world. The reason that people are sitting here today is because you are unbelievable

Am I right? And the reason I said that was for that

Now that's a hug. Henry, I cannot hold a candle to you

I mean what I say. Look, it's on tape. It's on television. I can't fit because it comes back to haunchy

Don't let anybody destroy that tape, y'all. Okay, what are we doing with this

You're so sweet. But listen, our goal is to teach you how to cook for your beautiful bride. Yes

Because she's a great cook. I bet she is. She is great with food

I bet she is. She's had to do it all herself. Listen, you're so in because my dishes are so simple

And what I'm going to teach you to make for Stacy is country fried steak

So let's get started. All right, now we've got our black cast iron skillets on, and they're on about a medium heat

Now we're going to take our round steak, and this is just a round steak, Henry, that you get from your butcher from the grocery store

And it's been through a cuber because round steak is very, very tough

So you have to tenderize it by running it through the cuber

All right, so we're going to take our meat, and I have a house seasoning here, and we keep buckets of this at our restaurants. Right

And it's salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Okay. So we're going to put a little..

All over it? Yes. Okay. And then we have a little of our seasoning salt

See the kind of orangish-reddish? Yeah. Ooh, now you're going to make it so salty

I spilled it. I'm sorry. Don't make it so salty now that your bride can't eat it. No

I mean... Okay. Ooh, those are going to be so salty, Stacey

You ain't going to be able to eat them. No, no, no. Oh, this is fun. I know it's fun. Do you see what you've been missing

I'm getting it now. Let me tell you something, Henry. There is something very sensual about the kitchen and about food

I mean, just look what you've been missing in the kitchen, baby. I'm in there now

Yes, you're in there now. I want to tell you. And thank God you're still young enough to do something about it

Thank you very much. Don't go anywhere because I'm in the kitchen cooking with Henry Winkler

Don't go anywhere. Up next, Country Fried Steak gets a thumbs up from the Fonz

You live? You die. The only thing that the Fonz added was, I'm not so sure

And later, Italian food, soprano style. The godmother of Savannah. Y'all, I'm here with one of my heroes

one of America's heroes, Henry Winkler. Listen, this man is so smart, y'all

but he doesn't know how to cook. So I'm going to help Stacy, his wife, out

by teaching him how to cook a very southern dish. Okay. Country fried steak

My fave. I'm right on the edge. So we have rubbed that seasoning into our meat

Yes. Now we have some flour here. Now we're going to take our meat and we're going to run it through the flour

Okay. And shake him good. Shake him off good. And then you have a bowl of buttermilk

Ooh. So this buttermilk. This feels good. Yes. Doesn't it feel good

Nice and cool. I'm liking this. Yes. Back in here? Yes, back into your flour now

On both sides. Yes, both sides. Okay. And you kind of press that in

Press it in. All right, now we're going to give it a little shake-shake. Shake-shake. And then into a hot grease

And we're going to do that with the same... Hey, wait a minute. I did that really well. You got, like, the prettiest meat in town

Definitely the coolest. Now, this is gonna take a few minutes, Henry, for our steak to cook

Yeah. So why don't we go out there and see if anybody's got a question for you? Because I know they're dying to talk to you. Sure

Anybody out there with a question for Henry? What is your name? Kim

Hi, Kim. Kim? You got it! Hi, Kim. You so got it

The Kimster. All right, Kimmy. Hi, babe. What's your question? I know y'all have just gotten started, but before you get out of here, we have got to get a thumbs up

A thumbs up? You know, hey. I wish I had said that

All right. Thumbs up. All right. Okay. All right. All right. I want to know exactly how you do this

All right. So the thing is that the thumb came from my 10th grade history class

from the gladiators. You live, you die. The only thing that the Fonz added was, I'm not so sure

And the sound you know the sound Came from the fact that you can be that cool talking so much So I reduced like paragraphs down to one sound

Hey. Hey. Hey, Kim, I'll talk to you later. Okay, well, I don't have room

While you were doing the thumbs up, I put your meat in the pan. I knew there was something

I'm sorry. No, I like that you did that. Now, come over here, Henry, and wash your hands, baby

because, you know, this country fried steak stuff, it's kind of messy. Yeah

And it's perfect because I've got this little book laying over here by my sink

Oh, see, I'm very proud of that. Hank, zip, sir. Zip, sir

This is his 11th book. Yes. All right, but tell me about this book

Okay. The curtain went up and my pants fell down. Yes, that is exactly right

Is it? And it's the story of my life as a dyslexic student

You would never know it. No, no, no. There are so many things I can't do. I can't spell

Math was hard. Who cares? Listen, I failed algebra one four times

And you know what? I took geometry for four years. Honey, I never made it to geometry

I was not smart enough. No. Listen, and you know what? I have not needed, not one time

Let's see, I'm 60. Been out of school 42 years. Not one time have I needed that X minus E equals a pie

That is so true. Oh, gosh, I'm so not taking good care of you

How did I do? You're just so perfect. Okay. Now, I'm going to scoop this over for you

and let's throw in our onions. Oh, I have onions. Uh-huh, and we're going to let them brown a little bit

On the side, yes, so kind of we can keep control of them

Okay. Just let them brown. Okay. All right. My onions are browning, honey

So I think I'm going to take mine out. All right. And put it on the paper

Yes. We're going to let it drain a second. And look, see. I have to use your paper

Oh, I want you to. We're sharing. Okay. Watch me. I may steal your steak

It's like perfect. All right. Now get your flour. could you just say that again, please

It's like. Stacy, he's like perfect. Hey. Uh-oh

Uh-oh. He's coming out! He's coming back! All right, now what am I doing

Now, I've already got us a pan of gravy ready because we have been so busy having such a good time

But I want you to help finish this up with me. What do you mean? All right, now see, we got our gravy

and we're going to put it back in our gravy. You didn't have this at the restaurant last night, did you

No, I didn't. Oh, my goodness. No, we had everything else. It'll make you slap your mama, baby

Make your tongue want to slap your brains out. So don't let any drip on the top of your head

Look at that. Look at that. Your wife. All right, I'm going to

Oh, wow. I'm going to get you that piece of steak. Oh, wow. I wish I had some biscuits and some grits to go with it, but I don't

How do we have a garnish here? Yes, I do. Go feed that to your beautiful bride

Stacy and Joy, honey, I'm sure the weekend's going to come and Henry's going to serve you that breakfast in bed

with grits and homemade biscuits. Right, Henry? I promise I'm just going to clean this off

How did I do? Brilliant. It's so good. So good. You are always in my heart

I'm just telling you, I love you so much. Oh, my God

I want to tell you something. This is my kind of girl. Stacy is like glaring at us

Let's do a group hug. Group hug. Group hug. Okay. Don't go anywhere

We got more shows. Up next, I'm cooking eggplant parmesan with Soprano star Steve Sharupa

If you feel like you're putting on a few pounds, You just find fatter friends to hang out

Welcome back, everybody. Welcome back. So, Jamie told me, he came to me and he said

Mama, he said, there's somebody I really want you to have on this show

Y'all wait. He would not tell me who it is. This guy that I'm fixing to bring out now

He has been a part of a program that has changed television that will never be the same

I'm so excited. Y'all ready to meet who it is? Y'all don't know who it is, do you? It's Stephen Sharippa from The Surprise

Are you kidding me? How are you, baby? How are you, baby

How are you? How's everybody going? How's everybody going? Jamie, I can't believe it

Yo, seriously. I can't believe it. The godmother of Savannah. This is the Carmella Soprano

Forget about it. It doesn't sound right coming out of your mind. Forget about it

Listen, one night Michael took me to dinner in Brooklyn. I walked in the restaurant and I started telling everybody

hey, how you doing? We started talking. And I looked at him, I said, you know, y'all really talk funny

I love New Yorkers. And I love it down here. We had a good time. I came in with my daughter

My daughter, Bria, is with me. Bria, she is so precious. And, well, we came in, we ate at your restaurant last night

We had the chicken. We had the fried green tomatoes. We had the steak

I had pot pie. We just had a little bit of everything. Stephen's on the Goomba diet, Mama

That means four or five entrees. He's written a hilarious book. Listen, I picked your book up

Can you believe it? The Goomba Diet. The Goomba Diet. I brought one for you to sign for me, too

Have y'all seen that book? Hey, I gained 10 pounds. Don't pick up this book

You see, now, obviously, by looking at me, you know it's a joke book. Yeah

It's a joke. But you're so hard. But on the Goomba Diet, if you feel like you're putting on a few..

Feel how hard he is, Jane. I mean, it's as tight as a tick

Because he had steak and pot pie and chicken and biscuits and cornbread and black-eyed peas

Oh, it stretched all out. I've never been told I was tight as a tick, but I like that

That's the first. But on the good part, if you feel like you're putting on a few pounds, you just find fatter friends to hang out with

You know, or if you're not motivated to work out, you know, you pay a guy to work out for you

You know, if you feel like running, don't pay your bookie for three weeks. So that's the kind of diet

The only issue I have is you said real Goomba men don't eat grits. You ain't had the right grits yet

But wait, wait, I had grits last night. I tried grits last night. Did you like our grits

Yes, I liked your grits. You know, grits was great to hear. Did you love our grits? I'm not a grit guy, you know what I mean

They play a promager. Yeah, I know, I'm sweating. Whenever I'm around beautiful women where they're all over, I start sweating, you know what I mean

Steven's kind of like us in that he, you're blessed to be in the business you're in now

Oh, absolutely. He was in Las Vegas. He was working for you. You managed. I was the entertainment director at the Riviera in Las Vegas, and I was acting, you know, small roles

Where did you get the part in the surprise? Well, I had a wife and two kids and started doing the bit parts and then went to New York for a wedding, called my agent, auditioned, got the role

You're like so close. I was lucky, and we started at 40. Okay, so I'm here to cook, and I want to show you my grandmother's eggplant parmesan recipe

Everybody loves eggplant. And on Sundays, as a kid, I would go to her house and have these huge dinners

You know, we'd start out with antipasta and eggplant and pasta and all this great stuff

And this is my favorite dish. So we're going to get started. All right, Paul? This is your pot, baby

This is your pot. That's Jamie's pot. Oh, that's his pot. All right. Yeah, you come over here and keep it up

A little one of my pot. I want to keep my eye on you. Watch my pot

Okay. I'm going to watch your pot. I'm going to let that simmer a little bit there. Okay. And, you know, we used to have these, I mean, where there was aunts and uncles and this

Every Sunday was like Thanksgiving. And the guys are drinking wine and the wives are cooking and my grandmother

So it was really stuck in my head. You know what? Italian families remind me so much of southern families

because it's about a lot of talking, everybody talking at the same time, laughing

and consuming huge amounts of food to their family. You know what? Italians eat at funerals, weddings, divorces

No one ever says, how could you eat at a time like this? We could eat always

It's so easy, isn't it? I was in college. I was eating a meatball sandwich with a girlfriend in college

I knew she was going to break up with me. She said, I've got to talk that way. Let me finish my sandwich

Let me eat first. Okay, now we're going to get a little minced garlic. You got some garlic

We got garlic here. Looks like three or four big, chunky, fat cloves

Whatever you say. Three cloves. So, you know. Three. So, you're the cook. I just an eater but we going to mix it up a little Jamie Smells good right Oh it does smell good Smells good And And he putting it in water y I guess A little water I going to stand back

There we go. I'm going to stand back, y'all, because this is one of my favorite jackets

Does I have it on the inside out? No. I'm going to lower it a little bit

Okay. It was just that water meeting the heat. That's it. The water, it's like when you met your husband

It sizzled, right? When you met Mike? Yes, it did. Bingo, it sizzled

Bingo. That was, it was bingo after I realized, after I pulled up his mustache

And took a good look at him? Because his mustache was down to here, y'all. I didn't know if this man had teeth or not

So after I pulled up his mustache and found out he had teeth, I said

Whoa, shazam! And then it was bingo. That just smells so good

It smells great, you know. It smells fabulous. And, you know, this is tomatoes

You know, crushed tomatoes. And we're going to throw that on the man. I think it's like three 28-ounce cans of, like, crushed tomatoes

You know better than me. You've got to tell them the recipe. I just go by looks. You ready, Jamie

I'd say these are plum tomatoes. Oh, my goodness. Smells good, right

That smells so good, Steve. Oh, yeah. And you know what? We missed some garlic, so I'm going to scrape you a little bowl for you

Nothing goes to waste here. All right. How about some salt and pepper, guys

We've got to season this up a little bit. You got that? Jamie's the only one with salt and pepper

I know. Jamie will give us a little. I want to taste this tomato. It really smells good, and it's going to be great when it's done

Now, refresh my memory. Who's... Oh, come on, baby. Right. Let loose of that salt

A little more? That looks about right. All right. Let loose of that salt

Look, look, here's how you do it. Damn! That's how the soprano is doing

That's how you do it. Taste it. You got it salted just right

Even those tomatoes are so delicious. It's really good. It's so fresh-tasting. Really, really good

Okay, so now we got the sauce cooking. We're going to come back. We're going to put the eggplant in the batter

We're going to fry it up. We're going to make our whole dish of eggplant. I'm going to put the cheese on top

It's going to be great. That sounds great. Y'all won't go anywhere. We'll be back

Steve's in the kitchen. All right. Coming up, Carson and Henry serves up Steve's eggplant parmesan

It's Carson and Henry. Welcome, Michael Boss. They came. Very thin

Very thin. Skin on. Skin on. Skin on. Now, this is egg wash

It's egg with a little bit of milk. Uh-huh. All right? And you're using some breadcrumbs

Now, are these seasoned or plain? Those are seasoned breadcrumbs. Okay. You know, you can get that in a can

Yeah, yeah. You can get them at the grocery store. Pack it on, baby. Pack it on

Pack it on. I think I did that already. All right, so we got that

And now there's oil in this pan. And we've got it cooking a little bit. All right

How about I'll help you? Oh, you're going to help. Yeah, I need some help. I'll help you. I need a little help. Uh-oh

You need to turn your fire up, Tony. Turn your fire up. You already turned my fire up, Paula

Mom, listen. Just give me one minute, please. Give you one minute for what, son

Bobby, tell me. What happened at the end of the show? Well, my theory is Tony Soprano choked on an onion ring

Man, he was shoving all those onion rings in his mouth. That fat..

No. You know what? What I think happened, I thought it was absolutely terrific

and I think David Chase is a genius. All right, now I've got to ask you this. And to follow just the rest of the story, you know what I mean

What do I think happened? I guess you make up your own mind whether you lived or died. All right, I've got to ask you this

What was your favorite scene or your favorite episode from The Sopranos

My favorite one would probably be the first one of the season

when I beat Tony Soprano's butt. Oh, my gosh. You beat his butt till his nose blade hit

He needed it. Your character was sincerely my favorite because he was a sweet guy

And I thought the cruelest thing that I'd seen Tony Soprano do was send you to Canada

when you finally got your hands dirty. I mean, that was heartbreaking. I think a lot of people

for some reason, we love Tony Soprano, even though he's a murderer. And he's a killer, and he hurts people

but the audience still chooses to love this guy. And y'all talk so dirty on that show

And after he had made Bobby do that, do the killing, which is the last thing in the world he wanted to do, I think a lot of people didn't like Tony anymore

And then after Tony killed Christopher, his nephew, I think people realize that this is a sociopath

This is a crazy guy. Yet we choose to like him. You know, he's kind of an everyman

And look, the show on so many levels is so smart, so brilliant

I mean there has not been a show in TV history that has captivated the United States and the world like this You know what it reminded me of Steve Kind of Dallas Do y remember like who shot J Oh my Dallas

Please. Well, you know what? But you know what? I mean, everyone who shot J.R.

It was very important. That doesn't come around that often. No. Stuff like that

Well, I think the coolest thing is that how you started and you wound up in it, you added so much to the show

and it'll go down in history as one of the greatest shows. Yeah, and I'm very proud to be a part of it

Thank you very much. Now, if you don't show me how to do this Parmesan, I'm going to send somebody out to see you

This is great. Come on. It smells great. The sauce is great

Yeah, what do we do now? Now we're going to do a little, we're going to leave a little sauce. Sauce down and then we're going to put our

All right, sauce first. A little sauce, a little sauce, nice. How nice, huh

Oh, that sauce is very, very nice. You know, and it's kind of just a plain sauce

That's what I like. Good tomatoes, fresh garlic, basil, salt, pepper. And it's very light, not real thick with all pieces

Yeah, yeah. We'll start leaving them up. Just lay them right on top

Okay, now mozzarella? A little bit more sauce. A little bit more sauce. Okay

Do you put the mozzarella throughout it or is that like on top? On top

Right on top. I can't wait to eat this myself. Do you eat your own cooking

Take a look at her. Now what do you think? Don't trust the skinny cook

Mozzarella right on top. Mozzarella right on top. Right on top. Then we're going to bake this

Aren't you going to put some more sauce? We're going to put some more sauce. Here. Let me help you, son

There you go. See, families that cook together stay together. You see that

I love mozzarella. Yes, you're absolutely correct. Absolutely. You know what, y'all

This, being in the kitchen with your family is so therapeutic. It's so healing

At the end of a day, you've been out there working. You might have had your butt kicked around a little bit. Absolutely

And you come back home and get in that kitchen with people that you know loves you and cares about you

And loves your cooking. It's all good. And loves your cooking. You know, that heals a bad day

You want to do one more layer, Jamie? Well, let's swap it out. You want two? Let's go. Let's go. Son, you need another egg. Ooh, look at that

There you go. Magic, magic. Yeah. Ooh, magic. See, that looks good, doesn't it? Now everybody's going to get a little piece

Yeah. It has been so real today

Until next time, best dishes. Tell them best dishes, Tim. Best dishes

Best dishes. Henry Winkler, come. Best dishes. From Paula's party to y'all

Till next time. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
