Good Eats S13E4P2 - American Classics: Spaghetti With Meat Sauce

2:34 = Music playing is O Mio Babbino Caro... why opera music?

He said "Now's a good time to crank up some Puccini. Just for atmosphere."

You're from Italy and you've never seen bolognese sauce before?

I love AB, but ketchup and Worcestershire? Not too sure about that. Maybe we will agree to disagree this one time. Don't get me wrong, Good Eats is amazing! I am and will continue to be a huge fan! Go AB!

@gcarped I can understand Ketchup, but he said that Worcestershire sauce was a personal favorite of his.

If it's not your thing then I don't think you need to add it.

Did you listen at all? Alton clearly stated that this was am AMERICAN CLASSIC (see the title of the episode), not an Italian dish. If you don't like it, go elsewhere.

dont know many americans that use ketchup in there sauce or lea & perins for that matter...and how would we know we liked it or not if we went somewhere else? dont be a douche...

I am an avid Good Eats fan and I must say, this looks more like "In search of perfection" than Good eats. Alton basically took something that is supposed to be simple and made it WAY too complex. Why not Brown the meat in the dutch oven as a first step? This recipe looks like it will take 6 hours to make, I think I'll stick to my recipe. :)

@arugulatarsus the show isn't really about quick eats. it's about getting the best flavors out of a dish. :)
