🍝 Get the Goodfellas Bundle — 3 wines + my full Mob Movie Cookbook: https://franzesewine.com/goodfellas I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked about the cooking scene in Goodfellas. “Michael, did you really eat like that in prison?” People — I knew all those guys. All of them. And today I’m finally recreating that iconic prison dinner — the gravy (NOT sauce, and I’ll tell you why we called it gravy), the pasta, the whole scene. I’ll tell you what we REALLY ate on the inside, how close the movie got it, and the one thing they got completely wrong. While I’m cooking, I’m sipping my wine and answering your questions about the life. I did the time so you don’t have to — all you gotta do is watch.
