I can’t believe Ollie found Mr. Z with that expensive sandwich episode by coincidence and just like that ... who knew he will be one of the fun guests and it’s just a genuine passion from Mr. Z to share his love for discovering food.

@@alessandrom7181 From what I've heard, a lot of Italian cities these days are full of tourist-trap restaurants which have very mediocre, overpriced food. Because they they don't need to provide consistent good-quality food, as they know most of the tourists will only come once, spend a bunch of money, and never come back. It's a revolving door.

[@Nickmick-t6q]

Che tu abbia trovato la migliore cassata siciliana in un locale a Modena può voler dire due cose: 1° La cassata è stata spedita tramite aereo in giornata dalla Sicilia, ed possibile 2° Il ristorante si serve da un mastro pasticciere Siciliano (molto probabilmente palermitano o della provincia) ma deve avere gli ingredienti freschi originari, cosa molto difficile, perché per esempio la ricotta di pecora della regione è impossibile da trovare al di fuori del contesto.

@@Ishlacorrin depends which ones you are referring to… if you are talking about the dried ones in jars with oil you can eat them like that with just some bread or you can use them as a side dish… they are perfect for appetizers you can put them on crackers with some sweet cheese or you can find other combinations online, you can make a pesto with them adding pine nuts or pistachios and garlic and some pecorino or parmigiano and extra virgin olive oil in the blender and use it as a spread or as a sauce for pasta. You can also add rucola or basil or even bell peppers if you want. If you are referring to the ones that are just dried and sold in bags you have to put them in sterilized glass jars covered with olive oil so you can store them for a longer time, and then you can use them as I said before.

Man I fucking love this trio! They crack me up every time! And all those Mario sounds over Mr. Z's swearing is just hilarious

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Ok, Ollie is hitting it out of the park with ‘Scquackatini’ and ‘Salute B’ which is underrated wordplay 😂

[@jacobwansleeben3364]

'Scquackatini' sounds like something an Italian duck would say.

[@alessiadefilippi263]

Just found out that the cc translate "release the milk" with "cacca latte", which is a VERY different thing in italian and tbh I'm almost crying with laughter

[@lemondrizzlecake7766]

I love how everyone is well fed and tipsy by the end of it. True Italian dinner experience xD

[@timotiusgunawan845]

So refreshing to watch mr Z on the same level of troll as Ollie. Easily the best guest on the show.

[@andreac7261]

Mr. Z is the Italian version of Ollie! 😂😂

[@therealmkhal]

The waiter teaching Ollie how to click his tongue got me rolling! 🤣🤣🤣

[@priscillelikum2742]

Mr. Z is soooo funny. I feel like he matches and challenges their chaotic energy with his own 😂😂

[@AkiraNats]

Their dynamic is amazing! Cheers!

When my uncle turned 50 he got the BEST Italian chef in the area to bring in cheeses and make small dishes. He is actually quite famous in our province known for his good food. This episode takes me back to that birthday. He made pairings and gave special attention to anybody who walked up to his table to get some delicious dish. He made dishes composed of pairings. He brought in special cheeses and made small plates and side dishes and recommended what to go for or try. It was anything short of magical really. I'm a big foodie and memories where made that night. Mr. Z reminds me a little of that. Passion for food, knowing his stuff and presenting it absolutely fantastic. The guy is great and would LOVE to see the trip to Italy. In the Netherlands great Italian food is actually pretty easy to access. The guy who made the food on the birthday owns a few locations (shops) near to where I live. He does the food catering as a side business and imports everything exclusively from Italy. It's a great place to shop at, everything fresh, wines that you cannot go wrong at and great service. He will recommend his wares and even suggest pairings. Passion being the red line here. It's always great to see people doing what they love with a passion. He does know his price but absolutely worth it. He has a dry meat sausage, garlic flavored, it's... well, you would have to taste it really :) but it's good haha. Italy trip? LETS GO!

I LOVE Mr. Z! Thank you Josh an Ollie and team! I just found you at a very rough patch in my life. Lost a job I have had for 28 years, caught Covid and was pretty depressed. You guys are truly medicinal miracle workers. You have brought me hours of rib splitting laughter while I binge on your channels! Thank you!

[@RealAngelOfMusic]

I hope everything gets better for you starting now!! I wish you all the best!

[@judecarden7799]

Just loving the episodes of MR. Z The episode feels like it's ended so quick but it's 17 mins

[@marcierivera477]

Watching you three enjoy that meal made me miss Italy and the gorgeous food i had. I lived there for 6 years and the food and the people are incredible! The trip to Italy with Mr. Z has to happen. Love you guys! Enjoy watching you both on Jolly and Korean Gentlemen, you two are amazing, thank you for all the joy and positivity!

[@bennie_kv]

The chemistry between these three is so wholesome

[@donnarusso1033]

This is brilliant. I love the interaction between all of them. Also, this makes me want to get on a plane and commence on a food journey through Italy!
