  1. My faveorite olive oil is Olivari Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It's in a glass bottle that is covered in with a white thick plastic. It also come with a pop up pour spout. I can get 17 oz for $6.50 from Walmart. I have tried all brands from Publix, Kroger, Food City, & Food Lion but nothing beats the Olivari

  2. I MUST know what brand, & where I can purchase that awesome cast iron skillet Keith used for frying the flat bread!! I have very old, traditional cast iron skillets, BUT, that is lovely!
    I'll be using your recipe, Keith! ✅ Thank you.

  3. Yeah I buy the Public brand EVOO – it shows date and source. The one I have now is Spanish. And I have to try the flat bread. Only issue is the only cast iron pan I have is about 9". Guess I'll have to buy yet another pan. 🙂

  4. I have to laugh!😂In part of the segment you block out the brand name "Kitchen Aid" and in others it is clearly visible. My question is why block it out in the first place if you're only going to do a half-hearted effort in the first place.

  5. I wish I was told that the pot in which to make this soup has to be very large, at least 7 quarts. With 8 cups of water, in addition to the other ingredients, there wasn't nearly enough room for my 5 qt dutch oven (LeCreuset). I only discovered this after attempting to add the water. I ended up having to cook the soup in two pots even after I reduced the water by 2 cups (I did not have a pot big enough in the kitchen other than a huge roasting pan). So people, check the size of your pot before proceeding. The soup was great and 6 cups was enough liquid.

  6. I am curious as to why they blurred the wolf logo on the side of the oven handle when Bridget was in front of the oven talking about the bread as well as blurring the word wolf off the front which can clearly be seen on the oven in the background. Also sub-zero, wolf, cove are sponsors of the show so why remove the logo and branding which I have not seen done before. Hmm
