Carla Makes Meatball Subs | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

Chris is the cameo king. He's in everyone's video either offering advice or being critical or just listening to something in the background doing work. Love him and his presence

[@Rhynez]

He's listening to Timecop1983

@Timechaser - I totally agree! He's so dependable that it makes me feel really safe, weirdly. Big Chris fan :)

It's because his station is the one directly behind the one where they shoot the videos. Works out perfectly though aha.

Italian here: pesto is a sauce tipically of vegetables and oil PLUS nuts and or cheese. A sauce is anything liquid cooked, and a sugo is what remains after a long cooking procedure. So the one by Carla is a Basil sauce, while if she would have put in cheese and or nuts it would be a pesto, even if inside a food processor.
