šŸŽ™ļø Description: Welcome to a hilariously unfiltered look at Easter traditions—from beachfront egg hunts to leftovers that could last until July.
In this episode, we break down how immigrant Easters are a beautiful blend of cultural chaos, culinary overload, and laugh-out-loud family dynamics.

First up, we dive into why Easter egg hunts aren’t just in the backyard anymore—some families are hauling coolers to the beach and sprinting through the sand for plastic eggs filled with quarters and expired candy.

Then we tackle the real MVP: leftovers. Italian families, especially, don’t cook for a meal—they cook for an army. We talk about why leftovers are sacred, how they’re distributed like heirlooms, and what happens when someone forgets to take the tray of lasagna home.

There’s also an entire segment dedicated to putting tomato sauce on salad. Yes, that’s a real thing. Yes, it’s delicious. And no, we don’t question it when Nonna does it.

We also explore the architecture of insane Easter sandwiches made from leftovers: pasta between bread, chocolate bunny bun sliders, and hard-boiled egg bombs.

And let’s not forget the Easter Bunny, who—for some reason—is so tall his ears hit the ceiling. Who designed this terrifying mascot?

This episode celebrates the immigrant holiday experience, where you dodge elbows in a packed kitchen, get yelled at for not taking food, and leave stuffed, happy, and maybe slightly traumatized—in the best way possible.
