I love how Tina Fey will just appear in random places like this cooking show. Just hanging out and cooking her Greek potatoes. I think I'm going to try that dish for Thanksgiving and give the mashed a rest.
My Greek mother made this my whole childhood. Thanksgiving wasn’t complete without Greek potatoes.
I want grown-up love 😭
I love Barefoot Contessa. So lovely!
🍽️❤
Watching Tina a little subdued (by her usual standard) is a wild experience 😭😭 But somehow I'm sure I can watch 5 more hours of these two
0:32 they’re not like regular potatoes…they’re cool potatoes.
A little tag team taters ❤
This made me GIDDY. Two of my favorites in one place. Thank you!
I'd put those lemons on earlier and get some carmy (speaking of the bear)
The two of them together is delightful!
"Disgusting!" I have been waiting for that for two decades of cooking shows.
