The old women, the nonas in my South Philly neighborhood taught this Irish girl to make gravy with fresh plum tomatoes from the roof top garden. Sundays from September through October was heaven in South Philly with aromas from everybodys gravy wafting through open screen doors and filling the street with a comfotable peace.

How is it possible that this channel hasn't blown up yet? Professional attitude and presentation, but without being overly "stuffy" or too "glossy", excellent editing, great recipes and of course amazing narration! You can tell that this is a real person doing real cooking. Excellent work, sir!

I followed this exactly--the pork chops and sausage tasted great. I cooked it all on lowest heat for 8 hours and it was GREAT! I never thought I could make sauce like this--thank you! Your videos are great because there's not any long narration beforehand--this makes them useful to have on an iPad in the kitchen.

"You gotta have the Pork"

Love this story and love how when you talk about your childhood and your grandma’s cooking your whole face lights up!

I made this sauce today, went by the Italian butcher to get hot and sweet sausage and a bone in pork chop purchased tomatoes as noted and crushed by hand. Cooked all day stirring every 15 minutes as directed. Cued up a Goodfellas Italian Dinner playlist on Spotify poured a glass of red wine and got it done. It was well worth the effort absolutely delicious thanks for this recipe!

My ethnicity is Irish - my best friend growing up was Italian. I would love to go to her house on Sundays where her mom and aunt would be making gravy! It was the best ever!!! In their memory I am going to give the a try!! Thank you!!!

My wife's been blown away with my cooking since I found your channel. Everything I've tried from your channel has come out great. Did Sunday Gravy for the first time today and it came out amazing. Thanks man!

[PICKABOGEY]

Looks like great stuff. I am a German Protestant growing up in all Italian Catholic neighborhood. This reminds me of my childhood where grandma started her gravy on Friday evening. Us kids went house to house and grandma let us dip bread in the gravy till we weren't hungry for dinner. Great times

I’m a black man and I grow up with Italian friend every Sunday would have me over to eat, I also worked for a pizzeria and the owner would make all sorts of great dishes which I learned to make.

San Marzano tomatoes are KEY every time...From the base of Mt. Vesuvius these gems come from, no other can touch their flavor...San Marzano tomatoes just rule, but not cheap...

I watch a lot of food channels on YouTube. So glad I found yours, it is one of the best. I like your approach and simplicity. Greatly appreciated, keep up the good work.

Tried this today, Tuesday, November 30th. Needless to say the entire family wants this at least weekly. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, and talking through this step- by- step!

My granny was from Naples. We lived with her! She made pasta and meatballs Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays. Sunday she would do a roast also. Pork, eye of the round. On Easter we would have braciola and homemade cheese ravioli.

I grew up in NJ. My grandmother was Sicilian and my mother was half-Sicilian and half-Calabrese. When I was a kid in the 80s, my whole family (aunts, uncles, and cousins) would go to my grandmother's apartment for dinner every Sunday. We all called the sauce "gravy" (though they rarely made a meat sauce). Someone was always pre-assigned to pick up the bread from Pechter's Bakery. I still make the standard Sunday dinner for my kids usually with meatballs (but on any day not just Sunday).

If it ain't over sauced, then I ain't the boss. I love how you are so flexible in allowing your viewers to do what they want and make their creations according to THEIR tastes. It's their mixture, let them do what they want. That's why I am a happy subscriber.

Been going down a rabbit hole this last week trying to catch up on your videos. I love the simplicity. I can do this!!! 😋

I had a talk today with my grandfather's last surviving sister. She's 90 her mother would make dinner for 0 people every Sunday. Like you growing up i went to my grandmother's house for 3 o'clock dinner soup to salad. it was beyond incredible. Here's to the good old days.
