I was really afraid that after watching this I become a snob about pasta and can't go with the cheapest ones. I'm glad he freaked out how expensive some were and pointed out that there's no reason to buy those ones. Saved me a lot of money.

i love this show bc none of the experts ever seem snobby or have a "holier than thou" attitude. they're all nice down to earth people and i like how they vouch for the cheap stuff sometimes cause it's more realistic
