The old place seems American-italian where as the new place is more European-italian style

[@user-zu1kk3nt4r]

That's exactly what it is..I prefer southern Italian/European Italian over Italian American. Italian American itself is bland imo

[@staciii]

What is European Italian? Would that just be Italian? 😂

[@tay7051]

Italy is in Europe lol

[@visualizeflow8450]

Nope it's the other way around. The new place is actually more American because it pushes away from traditional Italian restaurants. The traditional restaurants recipes are from Italians who migrated to America.

[@user-zu1kk3nt4r]

@visualizeflow8450 you cannot get Alfredo or claims casino in Italy that's Italian American. That's American invention. The pasta done at the new place is considered what you find in italy

[@KaitlinMcLaine]

Lowkey wish you did these Kind of episodes where you don’t say which is from which place (feel like it wouldn’t influence the decision as much)

[@michellel5402]

That would be neat, however, Link did say he expected the old school place to be better but actually liked the new one, so it does seem like they are trying to be unbiased in their opinions at least

[@mikeybhoutex]

"You can't control what you believe, it just happens." Deep thoughts with Link.

[@pb_and_nutella]

What’s “new” is actually just what’s really really old, which is to make good, fresh food. The “old” place here is doing more of a classic American restaurant thing, like frozen, pre-made, not fresh etc. I expected the “old” place to do better, but what’s actually old school did end up doing better lol.

It would be cool to get a behind the scenes look at how all the food is prepared/ heated/portioned for the food episodes
