Sitting side by side for a Food & Wine Taste-Off video, Tina Fey and Colman Domingo bonded over their mutual dislike for burrata.

“I still don’t understand burrata. I feel like it doesn’t taste like anything,” Domingo said.

“I’m really never getting invited back to Italy — I don’t like burrata either,” said Fey, laughing.

“We’re from Philly. We don’t understand [it],” Domingo joked.

“I want provolone,” Fey said.

“And some whiz,” he added.

“I want some hard cheese because I know it’s safe,” she added.

The comedy series follows three married couples whose quarterly vacation getaways, including Point Pleasant Beach at the Jersey Shore and Trento, Italy, get tested when one couple divorces.

Domingo and Fey didn’t know each other before working on the Netflix show, but they joke they could have stood in line together as kids to see Santa Claus on 69th Street.

“We grew up so geographically close together. I was like on the very edge of the last street in Upper Darby, and across the street was Cobbs Creek Park,” Fey told The Inquirer. And Domingo lived on the other side of the park.

In the Food & Wine video, Domingo and Fey let their Philly roots show during the mozzarella tasting and the soft, creamy, round-shaped burrata.

Will Forte chimed in on the burrata slander.

“Burrata is like when you go to an art museum ... somebody’s put up a painting where they’ve just painted it white and hung it and said ‘This is art,’” he said.

“Burrata’s got a good publicist,” Fey added.
