An Italian Tries Food Across America | USA Road Trip - Part 3
I have a bad habit of torturing my Italian wife, Eva, with the worst of American food. To make it up to her, I'm taking her on a coast-to-coast road trip across the USA to sample the best (I hope) of American food.
If you haven't seen Part 1 or 2, check them out here: • An Italian Tries Food ...
In Part 3, we try a Philly cheese steak sandwich in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; cannoli at Carlo's Bake Shop in Hoboken, New Jersey; and New York style pizza in the Bronx. Finally, we make a quick stop in Providence, Rhode Island for a "little" shopping spree in the Italian district of Federal Hill :)
What did we miss? Let us know in the comments below what dishes we should try next time.

You guys have created a monster. My daughter absolutely loves Eva, and now whenever I cook pasta - even if it's "authentic" (well, as authentic as it gets when a french guy is making it), she emulates Eva and her accent, saying "This is NOT Carbonara!" :P

[@PastaGrammar]

That’s hilarious!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@gregderoeck3231]

@@PastaGrammar It is quite funny! So, knowing Eva does not like American pizza, can we see a video that has her making Eva-approved pizza? I saw the one without flour (which was great, by the way). But I'm dying to know the details on how Eva makes her pizza!

Love love love!

[@andromacha83]

Greg, as long as you cook it al dente and you don't put ketchup or strawberry jam on it, I think that any Italian would approve. Knowing it is maybe not our desired condiment but hey I have eaten decent pasta in some other countries in Europe that were not Italy. One time it happened in France... well near the border (I am from the north of Italy at about 100 Km from Briancon) but still we were in France!

[@ΝίκηΧανδρή]

When Italians left the home country, and came to America as immigrants they had to adapt their family recipes to what ever primary ingredients were available in America 100 yrs ago..for example, there was no buffalo mozzarella. They would have to make it from cows milk. That alone makes a huge difference in the taste of a pizza. Also, a food historian would take into consideration which regions of Italy did the immigrants come from, and the differences in the recipes coming from those different regions that may have carried the same name. Then, as restaurantiers, their customer base in America is not 100 percent Italian, they probably felt that they had to evolve their recipes to cater to the tastes of their customers...and voila...delicious American pizza

[@nukalegend]

Adding on: when the massive immigration wave hit America, America was a massive trading hub of every country in the world making spices, herbs and seasonings to be very cheap. This allowed immigrants to experiment with these new things they couldn't get or afford in their home country.

[@ΝίκηΧανδρή]

I'm sorry to correct you but buffalo mozzarella it's something very fancy in Italy, they do it just in a few regions and even there you eat it sporadically, with very few dishes. Normally we eat cows milk mozzarella. It's not about the milk you use, Americans just can't do it properly

[@mukkaar]

I mean I'm pretty liberal of what I consider pizza, but even I think it's more of an pie than pizza. It's made shaped like pie, made like pie, and even the crust is more of an pie crust. Personally I consider it pizza pie, kind of like if you put pizza topping on bread and you could call it pizza bread. Anything that's made of *pizza* dough and is shaped like pizza, is an pizza. Chicago deep dish is not made from pizza dough and is not shaped like pizza.

Why the hell did you take her to some random corner pizza shop with giant greasy slices lol 😂 Also Harper my love, you *DO NOT* have to get Cheese-whiz on a cheesesteak for it to be authentic. Most people in Philly and the region get American cheese or provolone with onions.

[@dolliedaze5915]

I live in CG and commented the same thing… they went to a terrible generic pizza shop. Not good. Also I’m from Philadelphia originally and never get wiz (or eat at the trash spots popularized by food network). Provolone and onions on a Sarcones roll. That’s waaay more authentic then “wit wiz” from pats, genos or Jim’s.

[@pakapag]

Nobody, not even what you call neapolitan style pizza can match up to what the pizza really is. You just don’t have the ingredients, the equipment and the skills for it. Everything else might be acceptable for locals, but it is not Pizza. Period.

Philly native here. First of all I would like to say that you guys did a great job, going to Tony Luke's and not Pat or Geno's. Tony Luke's is legit. Now one thing that I will say is you kind of messed up by getting the Cheesesteak at Tony Luke's. While they're Cheesesteak is very good, their roast pork sandwich is even better. And among people who know Philly Sandwiches the roast pork sandwiches that real sandwich of Philly. Now it's actually very much descended from Italian tradition so this would have been a perfect thing for this video. It's roast pork kind of in the vein of a porchetta. and it is served with sauteed broccoli Rabe aged provolone and fried long Hots ( which is basically Philly vernacular for ricette peperoncino e fritte).

[@SuperBigTerrible]

Came here to say exactly this. Roast pork is by far the city's greatest sandwich achievement.

“NY style pizza”- EVA (slowly closes right eye) LOL

[@TheShanedoro]

You two are amazing at making videos. You two are so opposite, yet compliment one another perfectly. I absolutely love watching Eva make home made Italian meals. I will go out on a limb and say that I find your channel to be one of my top channels now. This was a fantastic 3-part series that I enjoyed from beginning to end. Harper and Eva, keep up the great work you two are doing. God bless, and buon appetito.

[@PastaGrammar]

Thank you! ❤️

[@austinvato5124]

That was surprising she said best sandwich she ever had with the whiz on it lmao

[@vinnygi]

The whiz mixes with the juices from the steak and onions and makes a sauce. Whiz used any other way sucks.

[@charger19691]

Harper: Why can’t someone else take dough and put sauce and cheese on it and make it delicious their own way? Eva: This is not delicious. This was the shot heard around the world! BOOM!

[@Cherub1m]

don´t argue with an Italian about pizza, just don´t if you want your relationship to last :P

[@iiXotic7]

Harper: Why Hoboken? me: obviously, to see the Cake Boss! 🤣🤣🤣

[@bixbycanyonbridge]

They will probably never read this comment but I can see why he fell in love with her there's something so homie about her and everything she says comes from her mind reminds me so much of my Southern American roots her palette knows her nationality and she speaks by it honestly with her opinions I love it watching her and y'all is awesome

About pizza NYS and NPS as in Naples style pizza. Here's the strong point and the weak point of each one. For New York style, it's made with shredded low moisture mozzarella with a high sodium and fat content. Thus you can actually reheat the pizza over and over again and still get longer cheese pull effect Napoletana pizza once cooked, it must be eaten fresh. The dough is made from tipo00 flour and fresh-cut and drained foir di latte or bufallo mozzarella. It should be cooked only once rolled or eaten fresh with a fork and knife after 30mins or reheat wrongly might turn into a total different product. So over the years Italian pizzaillo cultured Biga style pizza using pre fermentation and very high hydration and using something to protect the cheese from drying In the heat of the oven. With Biga pizza style you can reheat the next day and still be very good, and sometimes when we make extra pizza for tomorrow we pre-cook the dough with tomato sauce first then topped with Parmesan and mozzarella after half baked.

If you guys are in the East Coast still, check out Christos’ Pizza in North Adams MA. It’s a family owned pizza restaurant ran by this wonderful Greek woman!

[@TheMarlow85]

Greeks + Pizza = big no

[@dulcymaffeis7821]

How can a Greek/American pizza be only similar to an Italian pizza???!!😜

[@dr.tomgio6694]

@@TheMarlow85 Actually, the majority of southern Italians ARE Greeks! Even the word "Pizza", invented in Naples, is a local, dialectical word derived from the Greek word "Pita", which is a flat bread. Don't forget that Eva is from Napoli, if I understood correctly, which is an Italianized name for the Greek "Neapoleis" (New City). L'Italia meridionale is also referred to as "Magna Graecia" (Greater Greece). Don't allow political lines on a map fool you; Eva has the classic beauty of a Greek woman, just as does my wife from Puglia.

Antineo Productions I’d have to disagree with you there, it’s pretty good pizza!

[@kurtchristopherson5231]

This was a really fun series to watch. The whole thing made me hungry also. As a Chef, I can really appreciate the excitement that we see on Eva's face every time she is surprised by another dish from another part of the USA. I feel the same way whenever I meet a new chef and he shows me one of his "secrets" and I share one of mine. The experience of discovering really amazing food is the glue that bonds relationships together. Happy for you both, and thank you.

[@PastaGrammar]

Thank you!!!

[@teekotrain6845]

A pizza IS one thing!!!!! The simplest things have to be kept simple bc the simplicity and PERFECTION makes the dish. You can't replicate PERFECTION with additives that detract from the very perfection that's taken decades or centuries in some cases to improve upon!. Tradition! It is there because it is tested through time.

[@giuseppemichelecosentino8557]

I was expecting Eva telling to Harper that in Calabria there Is a city called Filadelfia but this Isn't appened😂

[@regkarn1]

The eye twitch when suggested she try New York style pizza shows how open minded she is. :-)

[@PastaGrammar]

😂😂😂

[@johnsrome8459]

Again! Watch it! Eva has many new friends who will vigorously defend her! Grrrrrrrr!!! Eva isn't myopic, just passionate about what she knows best. Passion for what you know is the antithesis of hatred for what you don't.

It's ok if Eva doesn't like the pizza. We all have our foods that we prefer. :)

[@Jonjon66689]

I would have really like to see her try a Tomato Pie in Philly. You’ll typically find them in Italian bakeries.

[@smarticus6384]

I just discovered your channel and binge watched the trip across America. Bravo. You two are awesome together and Eva enjoying or not enjoying her dishes just puts a smile on my face every time. Harper, you are really good at producing these videos. Better than anything the Food network has to to offer. I definitely became a subscriber.

[@blueskies773]

You said Whiz and I thought, how could you without her knowledge 😂😂 but hey she loved it! You made a great decision lmao

[@chicodominicano]

Oh my god... "you broke my heart [Fredo]" .. How could you not have taken her to Numero 28 Pizzeria or even Lombardi's. But I get it, you wanted her to try the traditional NY pizza pizzeria.

[@hamzafarih3815]

I'm lucky that I live right now in Italy and I understand why Eva complains about American food

Anytime Eva sees/thinks/eats about "American" pizza, her face goes into a deep frown.......😫😫😫😫
