Loved how Bastianich twice had to dab his eyes while shedding a "manly" tier and then crucified that Puerto Rican guy for being weak and crying when he mentioned his kids. God, that dude gets on my GD nerves.
I really enjoyed it when I caught an episode of "Molto Mario" from about 10-15 years ago semi-recently and Bastianich was on the "panel" and was fat as a house. Had to be 100 pounds heavier than he is now. Also, if you're going to wear a suit, buy some real shoes, will you please? Basketball sneakers with slacks and a sport coat? What are you, 14?
