The secret to enjoying the food in this book, is having your teeth removed. I had it done like a week ago. It didn't even hurt. Thankyou Cinco!

Excellent Doris Pringle-Brule-Salahari appearance

[navrotron]

Eric’s grandma is literally like a character in a tim and eric sketch

[caramel]

I can never tell if he is joking, or selling a cinco product.

[NoMoreLullabies]

Haven't seen Eric in too long, glad to see he's kept busy!

[Mmxxaamm]

Always so awkward to see Eric out of character but gotta love this guy! He’s living his absolute best life

[batmad]

It weird to see Eric out of character during this interview, but it is also weirdly calming to know that he is somewhat of a normal person.

Big bud & little Nona! Lol that was a good bit to end on

[nebojsadurmanovic]

So it's Eric's wedding photography days that we can thank for the hoogieee sketch in Tom Goes to the Mayor.

[Jamielein]

Is it just me or does Eric's grandma look a lot like Dorris Pringle Brule?

[squidmantics]

The book is so damn beautiful front to back, accessible but exciting. Eric is a food GOD.

[joaniereed]

Grandma was Almost like she was off put after actually being there. 🥰so cute

[TahtahmesDiary]

Raised on the Strega Nona books as I was, I still wasn't ready for Nona to mean Grandma irl lol...nor for her to be SO tiny! Love Eric! ♥️

[dudleyvasausage]

[gumdood]

[Studeb]

Had no idea how tall he is, or that his name isn't And Eric.

[zorbozog]

That's not Nona ya dang dangus! That's Doris Pringle-Brule-Salahari! For your health!

Deep dish pizza, fundamentally, is a casserole, IMO. When I’m in Chicago it is the Green Mill, Uptown Tobacco, Chris’s Billiards or City Pool Hall and Spacca for pizza.

I am a head chef at a small cafe, and I have this book in my office
