Alessandro Borghese Reveals the Most Annoying Thing About “4 Ristoranti”

Alessandro Borghese guest of “Tintoria”, the podcast by and with Stefano Rapone and Daniele Tinti, co-produced by The Comedy Club and distributed by OnePodcast. Talking with the two hosts, big fans of the chef, Borghese made some unpublished revelations about the program 4 Ristoranti. And so the “secret” of the “freeze” is revealed, when the shot freezes and the chef points out some mistake: “The “freeze” it works that they have to stop. I say “freeze” and everyone sitting has to stay still, like 1 2 3 star. I have the camera and so I turn around and say: “I may still be old fashioned but, in my opinion, the wine should be poured first for the ladies and then for the boys.” As soon as I see some bullshit, I call the “freeze”, like those who open bottles as if it were always New Year’s Eve: it’s something I hate. Furthermore, the waiter who poured it first for me, instead of for the lady next to me, must remain there while he is sipping it. Then at a certain point we start and everyone has to move. The waiter glares at me, then goes over and the restaurant owner screws him. For the series: “As soon as Borghese arrived, a freeze because of you?”.

Finally Borghese also talks about the problems with his figure during the recording of the episodes: “Well, I’m fat and thin because I’m neither fat nor thin, so I don’t have all this problem. Beyond that, I can’t pretend to eat, also because it’s a responsibility: you’re dealing with people who have made so many sacrifices. You have to take the human aspect into account too: you can’t ruin, say, 20 years of activity”.
